RE:piranah reels
I did have a chance towards the end of the show to spend a while checking out the Piranah reels. The neoprene-impregnated cork disk drag impressed me most. It was huge and solid like a good drag should be. The guys behind the booth kept commenting on the big heat sink, but I didn't feel there was really much of one there. I thought they were also a bit heavy (but so too are the Penns I use). I also thought their show prices were very resonable for the quality of the reel, and probably would have bought one had I been drinking heavily enough .
RE:piranah reels
I only wish it were MY booth! As you know I moonlight with Blue Northern but unfortunately, that motherlode of fly gear is way beyond my reach. I am also a faithful Lamson man like you!
In fact I am an incurable Lamsonite - I own five from loyal purchases over the years. When they first came out I was a Seattle steelheader and like many others fell in love with the meat-and-potatoes machined reel for the money. The clutch problem only hit one of mine after severe abuse from hard running fish, but they sent me six spares for clients and friends. I've only used the one over all these years, and the clutches fit ALL models.
I am not worried, the fish I've landed with these reels speak for themselves - if they could talk that is. If a fish ever talks to me it's time to take up golf!
RE:piranah reels
agreed, there are some great toys out there. but financially speaking I will have to stick with my lamson 3.5 (but the lamson 4 in your booth almost got to me!). Tom
P.S. it was nice meeting you guys at the show.
RE:piranah reels
Sean Fields introduced me to these reels last summer. Knowing the kind of fish he tangles with out on Nauset Inlet, I'm sure the cork drag is up to the test. If I recall, for those of us who are incessant spool swappers there's a little more than a snap to deal with. The same could be said for the swapping spools on the new Bauer MX reels, although I fell in love with them right away and long to own one.
All in all, the explosion of reel options we're enjoying lately sure gives consumers more choices!
piranah reels
hi, did anyone else get a look at the piranah reels at the show? they were sweet. nice and light and a smooth cork drag, witha heat sink feature. not cheap, but not at able prices either... Tom
p.s. I still like those redington reels though

Virgin Mobile's super speedy 4G HSPA+ network is now available in parts of Manitoba. Right now, we've got phone numbers ready for Winnipeg, Stonewall, Selkirk, Steinbach, Oakbank and Brandon.
Type in your address below to find out if you're covered.
Heads-up! If you're buying a phone with a SIM card it won't work outside of our 4G HSPA+ coverage area.
Our awesome network covers 98% of Canadians, with the majority zipping along at ridiculously fast LTE network speeds. Check out how we've got you covered with our coverage map.
Plus, you'll have access to voice and text in over 200 countries with a SIM card.
Check out our CDMA coverage.
Good to know:
You will notice slower HSPA speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps in the following communities in the North: Arviat, Baker Lake, Cambridge Bay, Gameti, Iqaluit, Lutselk'e, Nahanni Butt, Paulatuk Rankin Inlet, Sachs Harbour and Ulukhaktok.
Extended coverage is available to Virgin Mobile Members with compatible phones for limited and occasional use. Usage within extended coverage is billed as part of your current plan. Just like travelling outside your local area on the Virgin Mobile network, long distance charges apply to incoming calls received while within extended coverage. For outgoing calls, long distance applies if the number called is outside the local calling area of where the call is placed. Long distance charges do not apply if your rate plan or bundle includes Canada-Wide calling. Data speeds will be slower and certain services are not available or limited, including Mobile TV and other video applications.
Usage is subject to Virgin Mobile's Responsible Use Policy restrictions; see virginmobile.ca/responsibleuse. Other conditions apply. For important details see virginmobile.ca/extendedcoverage.
Everything you do using a Virgin Mobile LTE-ready phone or tablet on the LTE network – like running apps, watching videos, and downloading files - will be faster, better and more awesome.
And, if you have an LTE Advanced-ready phone, you'll be hittin' peak download speeds of up to 335 Mbps (expected average: 12-60 Mbps).
Good to know:
The LTE Advanced network will hit theoretical peak download speeds of up to 335 Mbps (expected average: 12‑60 Mbps) on next gen "CAT 6" phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9.
LTE Advanced is already up and running (racing, actually) in many cities and will be rolling out in other parts of Canada super-soon.
LTE will be rolling out to more and more places soon. Outside of LTE coverage, we've also got super-fast 4G speeds of up to 42 Mbps.
Find out if you're covered.

LiverKick.com Light Heavyweight Rankings: January 2012
- Written by Rian Scalia
|Artem Levin
|Alexander Oleinik
|Hicham El Gaoui
|Dmitry Shakuta
|Sem Braan
|Alexander Stetsurenko
|L'houcine Ouzgni
|Constantin Tutu
|Simon Marcus
|Artem Vakhitov
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. Rankings are compiled by Rian Scalia and Dave Walsh.
January 2012
We've completely revamped the Light Heavyweight rankings, due to a number of fighters dropping back down to 70 and 72.5kg. This time, we have 10 solid fighters that all are legit, solid Light Heavyweights and have been at the weight for a while.
Light Heavyweight is probably the most under-the-rader division in all of kickfighting, spanning from 77kg to 84kg. Unlike most other divisions, top fighters are consistently fighting each other, which actually makes for a much more solid ranking system. The top 10 is quite competitive, but one fighter that stands out and has been atop the field for some time now is Artem Levin. Levin's strength of record stems mostly from 2009 and 2010, where he defeated top fighters such as Dmitry Shakuta, Alexander Stetsurenko, Artem Vakhitov and L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni. In 2011, Levin stayed active but didn't face any top 10 competition, although he stopped two pretty decent fighters in David Keclik and Murthel Groenhart.
Right below Artem Levin at #2 is Alexander Oleinik, who had somewhat of a coming out party starting at the end of 2010 and continued through 2011 where he won the 2011 Tatneft Cup. Oleinik is probably the best challenge for Artem Levin and he's proved it with wins over four top 10 fighters in Sem Braan, Constantin Tutu, Alexander Stetsurenko and Dmitry Shakuta. Filling in at #3 is Hicham El Gaoui, who we highlighted not too long ago. Hicham rose to prominence this year with a win over L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni in October and then fought at the 2011 Tatneft Cup finale, taking a decision over Alexander Stetsurenko.
Dmitry Shakuta is close behind at #4, being around the top for years now. After a rather inactive 2010, Shakuta came back in 2011 with notable top wins over Alexander Stetsurenko and a fringe top 10 fighter in Yordan Yankov. At #5 is Sem Braan, another fighter like Shakuta has been around the top for a long time. Sem hasn't had a top win in a while, but he's racked up a bunch of good wins, most recently over Miran Fabjan. Alexander Stetsurenko comes in at #6, although he went on a three fight losing skid in 2011. He lost to Alexander Oleinik, Dmitry Shakuta and Hicham el Gaoui consecutively but he rebounded two weeks after, winning three fights in one night. Stetsurenko has remained one of the most active fighters in kickboxing, having fought 12 times this year.
At #7 is L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni, who had a really bad 2011, losing both of his fights this year. In 2010 he beat Sem Braan and Nieky Holzken and was hailed as one of the top fighters at the weight before losing to Artem Levin. "Aussie" has some work to do to get back on track in 2012. #8 is the Moldovan fighter Constantin Tutu, who has very quietly put together a nice resume. Tutu was fighting as low as 70kg in early 2010 but by the end, he was all the way up to Light Heavyweight where he has only lost to Alexander Oleinik in his third fight of the night. He recently ran through three fights in one night on October 1st, stopping some pretty decent fighters.
Simon Marcus fills the #9 spot, after his win over Artem Vakhitov at the MPL's inaugural show in September. Skillwise, I think Marcus would beat a lot of guys in the top 10, but he doesn't have the wins to be any higher. The man Marcus beat, Artem Vakhitov takes the #10 spot. He beat Jiri Zak at the MPL's third event and took a decent win over Vando Cabral in December. Vakhitov also has a win over Yordan Yankov from 2010.

Spent Saturday messing around with sockets and threads under Java. Didn't have my all reference books on hand (left them at work, I should get duplicate copies of everything useful...) Went searching for examples and put together a logging port-forwarder which outputs traffic in the classic offset/hex/ascii format. GPL-ed because the examples I looked at from were under the GPL and it's a pretty trivial hack. Registered it on Freshmeat anyway. Whee.
Sunday was beautiful, one of those rare perfect days. Maria and I took the car out, put the top down and drove backroads to Lambertville, NJ. We heard it was a cute town and had antique stores. We heard right. It's on the Delaware and the place reminds me of the Hudson river towns but much more dense and generally in better condition.
Slept badly, kept Maria up so now she's grumpy. Dread going to work.

Long time reader, first time poster here. I'm in the market for a new set of cans, and over the past month or so I have narrowed it down to the Beyer DT 770 Pro's (I think). This is because of the following criteria:
- closed can
- little to no sound leakage
- comfortable enough to listen to for hours at a time
- circumaural
- fairly accurate, although I would like a bit of a more "fun" sounding (I already have open cans for studio work)
- <$250
- somewhat portable
I thought I was set on the 80 Ohms version, but as I was checking out Beyer's website, I realized that they posted a page about a limited edition version that is going to be released in March (2012). This "limited edition" version is going to be all black on black, and also be 32 Ohms (previously the DT 770 Pro's were only offered in 80 and 250).
Now I'm just wondering if I would be better off waiting and getting the 32 Ohms version. I wanted to use these on the go at times (long bus and train rides), so using an amp isn't really preferred when doing so. Would I be better off going with the 32 Ohms version then? I don't want to sacrifice the bass or sound quality though. Thoughts?

The 7 Baby Steps
Take Control of Your Money One Step at a Time
Building a new future with money is a lot like building a home. You don't add the roof until you've finished framing, and you don't frame until the foundation is secure. Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps are designed to help you out of debt and stress and into a life of saving and giving. We're all in different places with money. Start right where you are and get where you want to be. Know-how is 20% of the equation. Behavior change and self-discipline make up the other 80%. You can do it! Just follow the steps.
Here's The Process:
$1,000 to Start an Emergency FundAn emergency fund is for those unexpected events in life you can't plan for. Whether there's a plumbing issue and everything but the kitchen sink is draining, or your brakes are squealing at every stop sign, you can be ready! Learn More
Pay Off All Debt but the HouseList all debts but the house in order. The smallest balance should be your number one priority. Don't worry about interest rates unless two debts have similar payoffs. If that's the case, then list the higher interest rate debt first. Learn More
3 to 6 Months of Expenses in SavingsThis step is all about building a full emergency fund. It's time to kick debt for good, with 3–6 months' worth of emergency savings. Sit down and calculate how much you need to live on for 3–6 months (for most that's between $10,000–15,000) and start saving to protect yourself against life's bigger surprises like the loss of a job. You'll never be in debt again—no matter what comes your way. Learn More
Invest 15% of Household Income Into RetirementNow it's time to get serious about retirement. With no payments and a full emergency fund, put 15% toward the retirement of your dreams. Between your 401(k), Roth IRA, and Traditional IRA, you have a lot of options. Find the fit that is right for you. The money you were using to attack debt can now help build your future. Learn More
College Funding for ChildrenCollege tuitions and housing expenses continue to rise. Don't let college sneak up on you. Saving now will put you ahead of the game when your kids graduate from high school. Two smart ways to save for your kids' college are a 529 college savings fund or an ESA (education savings account). These are both tax-advantaged savings vehicles that let you save money for your kids' education expenses. Learn More
Pay Off Home EarlyIt takes the average family five to seven years to pay their home off early. Just imagine life with no mortgage. There's only one more debt standing in the way of freedom from all debt! Apply all the extra money toward paying off your home. Not only are you paying off your home early, you'll be saving tens of thousands of dollars in interest fees. Learn More
Build Wealth and GiveThis is the last step and by far the most fun. It's time to live and give like no one else! Build wealth, become insanely generous, and leave an inheritance for future generations. You know what people with no debt and no payments can do? Anything they want! Now that's leaving a legacy. Learn More
Great, So Where Do I Start?
The first step in taking control of your money is to create some cushion between you and life's little emergencies. Start by getting $1,000 in savings. It's easier than you think, and it's absolutely worth it.
Most people can do it in a month or less, and these tools can help you get started.

JabbaJohnL, on behalf of the previous generation, I'd like to show you all the beauty you possess inside, in order to give you a sense of pride to make it easier. Let your laughter remind us how we used to be. For I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow; if I fail, if I succeed, at least I live as I believe. No matter what they take from me, they can't take away my dignity. For I have found the greatest love of all inside of me. Learning to love yourself: that is the greatest love of all.
And you should get that thing looked at by a professional.
(That boy good! And terrible!)
That's my jacket!
Happy belated birthday JJ.
I'm sure you have heard this from some other folk, but you have two more birthdays to look forward to. Then the rest of the time will be spent dreading them (or not, what do I know?).
"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see, the future is. But this I am sure of - do their duty the Jedi will." --Yoda from Attack of the Clones.

National Preserve
As one of North America's largest mountain-ringed river basins with an intact, unaltered ecosystem, the Noatak River environs feature some of the Arctic's finest arrays of plants and animals. The river offers equally superlative wilderness float-trip opportunities-from deep in the Brooks Range to tidewater of the Chukchi Sea. Noatak National Preserve lies almost completely enclosed by the Baird and De Long mountains of the Brooks Range. In this transition zone, the northern coniferous forest thins out and gradually gives way to the tundra that stretches northward to the Beaufort Sea. The Noatak basin is internationally recognized as a Biosphere Reserve. Under this United Nations scientific program the area's ecological and genetic components are monitored to establish baseline data for measuring changes in other ecosystems worldwide. Information can also be gathered here on sustainable uses of natural resources by humans, as exemplified by the Inupiat and other native peoples who have lived off the land of northwest Alaska for many thousands of years. The Noatak River is classified as a National Wild and Scenic River from its headwaters to the Kelly River.
The basic geological framework of the northwest region was set by the late Paleozoic era and included the Brooks Range geosyncline (a broad sedimentary trough), the Arctic Foothills, and the Arctic Coastal Plain. During the Triassic period (Mesozoic era), the site of the present Brooks Range was stabilized, and limestone and chert were formed. The process of mountain-building began during the mid Jurassic period. By the Cretaceous period the Brooks Range dominated the landscape, and volcanic activity from the Jurassic period continued in an area south of the range.
The sedimentary rocks of the Brooks Range and the DeLong Mountains were intensely folded and faulted during the late Cretaceous period. It was during this time that the existing east west fault trends within the area were established. A resurgent strong uplift during the early Tertiary period (Cenozoic era) was responsible for the present configuration of the Brooks Range. Volcanic activity produced intrusions and debris throughout the region during the Tertiary and Quaternary periods.
Bedrock geology of the DeLong Mountains includes faulted and folded sheets of sedimentary clastic rocks with intrusions of igneous rock. Shale, chert, and limestone of Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras are dominant. Graywacke and mafic rock of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods are also found.
The lowland area of the Noatak drainage is underlain primarily by siltstone, sandstone, and limestone of the mid to late Paleozoic era. Also in evidence are graywacke, chert, and igneous rock of Mesozoic origin.
The Baird Mountains south of the lowland are composed of strongly folded sedimentary rocks with granitic intrusions. Known bedrock consists primarily of Paleozoic or older, highly metamorphosed rocks.
Permafrost plays an important role in the geologic processes and topographic development of the preserve. The Noatak drainage and adjacent lowland areas are underlain by discontinuous permafrost, and areas in the Baird and DeLong mountains are underlain by continuous permafrost. Permafrost can reach depths of 2,000 feet, but is generally between 15 and 260 feet in the Noatak area. Continental ice sheets did not cover all of northwest Alaska during the Pleistocene period, although glaciers did cover most upland areas. The last retreat of the glaciers, about 4,500 years ago, established the present sea level and the extensively glacially carved landscape that is in evidence today. This landscape is characterized by deep, U shaped valleys, rocky peaks, and braided streams. A portion of the Noatak valley lowland was glaciated during Wisconsin time and today is typified by such glacial features as kame, kettles, moraines, and alluvial till.
The three major soil types within the preserve include the upland or mountain slope soils of the lithosol type, tundra soils, and soils associated with the Noatak drainage and lowlands. Lithosol soils on the higher slopes of the DeLong and Baird mountains are limited and are mostly imperfectly weathered rock fragments and barren rock. The soil is without zonation and consists of a thin layer of highly gravelly and stony loam. Where this soil accumulates in protected pockets on mountain slopes, it supports mosses, lichens, and some dwarf shrubs. Below the upland soils on more gently rolling terrain, the tundra soils predominate. These are dark, humus rich, nonacid soils. Texture in the tundra soils varies from highly gravelly to sandy. The floodplains of the Noatak and its tributaries are characterized by silty and sandy sediments and gravel. These soils occur in association with the greatest proportions of organic material along the lower reaches of the Noatak. A fibrous peat extends to the permafrost layer in many areas.
Soil erosion along the Noatak riverbanks is considered severe. This occurs during spring breakup when high volumes and velocities of water scour the riverbanks and carry sediment downstream. In places where waters contact ground ice in adjacent riverbanks, thermal erosion can occur. As the ice melts, banks are undercut and sediments are swept downstream. Additional erosion can occur during high precipitation and storm periods in summer.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
Recent weeks on my beat, particularly in Tishomingo County, have held some suspense-filled moments: voters making the county wet for beer, light wine and liquor and the election of a new mayor in Iuka.
The weeks ahead will present some interesting and challenging times as well.
One of the issues on my mind relates to the new July 1 Mississippi gun law. Mississippi enacted what people refer to as an "open carry" law for people age 18 and older with regard to handguns – and, really, any personal weapon – that takes effect July 1.
During a recent presentation to business representatives, Corinth Police Chief David Lancaster, Det. Capt. Ralph Dance, Deputy Chief Scotty Harville and Corinth training officer Capt. Chuck Hinds outlined some of the issues businesses need to be prepared to address when the law takes effect.
Dance noted that much of the chatter on the Corinth thread of the infamous gossip website Topix included comments from several posters that they can hardly wait until July 1 to strap on their holsters and carry their guns openly.
Lancaster, Dance and other law enforcement leaders and officers emphasize that they fully support Second Amendment rights and individuals' right to carry weapons. However, in some instances there is conflict between state law and local ordinances.
In fact, police chiefs around the state still have many questions about what enforcement entails, and at the statewide police chiefs' meeting this week a segment of the agenda will be dedicated to discussing the issue.
Even after the new law – Mississippi House Bill 2 – takes effect, any private business may prohibit weapons, and if bringing a weapon into the business is not allowed the business must make sure the public is made aware. A sign must be posted outside the business with the specific wording of the law, "carrying of a pistol or revolver is prohibited," and the sign must be visible from a distance of not less than 10 feet.
With the posting, a person entering the business with a weapon is trespassing, and may be asked to leave. If the person refuses, the offense is a misdemeanor trespassing violation and a business representative must file a complaint with the police department.
Current laws requiring a person over age 21 who wants to carry a concealed weapon to have a permit – a concealed carry permit or an enhanced concealed carry permit – remain in effect.
While state Rep. Andy Gipson, who introduced the bill, said it only clarifies what has always been state law, the fact that it has raised so many more questions means nothing was really "clarified."
I'm from a family with a father who hunted all my life and six brothers who served in the armed forces – three Army, one Navy, one Air Force and one Marine. Yet I never saw a firearm in our house growing up and have never seen a firearm in any of my brothers' homes.
I also lived for many years in Washington, D.C., which has one of the strictest firearm ordinances in the nation.
My experience with firearms throughout my life is nil and I am happy to keep it that way, even though I always had people in my life who were familiar with and comfortable with weapons. Since returning to Mississippi, it still surprises me when I learn one of my friends owns a firearm and keeps it near.
For me, whatever alarm systems on my windows and doors and motion lights in the yard can't accomplish, I don't think I can accomplish with a handgun at my side.

For Future of Same-Sex Marriage, Prof. NeJaime Looks Back in Time
Professor Doug NeJaime's civic engagement and scholarship is driving debate concerning the future of marriage in America, but also rethinking its past.
An professor of Family Law, Law & Sexuality and Ethical Lawyering, NeJaime's current goals are lofty yet focused. "I'm trying to complicate the standard legal narrative in scholarship that traces the LGBT movement's push for marriage to 1993 after the Hawaii Supreme Court decision."
NeJaime takes issue with those who argue that the institution of marriage was unimportant to the movement's pioneers. "Contrary to the claims of many marriage skeptics today, marriage exerts a strong pull that is exceedingly difficult – if not impossible – to escape."
The Hawaii case in question, Baehr v. Lewin, was a surprising victory for advocates for same-sex marriage. The Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that the state's marriage law constituted discrimination based on sex and accordingly needed to be subjected to strict scrutiny by the trial court. In response, Hawaii voters passed a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to limit marriage to different-sex couples.
But NeJaime thinks the battle for marriage equality began much earlier than that. "In the 1980s, even though advocates were not arguing for marriage explicitly, they were making claims for non-marital recognition based on the fact that same-sex couples looked like married couples," he said.
He argues in a forthcoming article, entitled "Before Marriage: The Unexplored History of Nonmarital Recognition and its Impact on Marriage," that while "marriage" wasn't a tangible goal until much later, key concepts were already being formed.
"Advocates were beginning at that point to articulate a model of marriage capable of including same-sex couples, which forms the foundation for the model of marriage they're putting forward today," NeJaime said, adding that the model is based on "emotional support, financial interdependence, romantic affiliation, and not on procreation and biological, dual-gender child rearing."
NeJaime helped organize a conference called "Liberty/Equality: The View from Roe's 40th & Lawrence's 10th Anniversaries," which took place at UCLA School of Law in January. He presented his work at a panel dedicated to social movements and was joined by Loyola Associate Professor Priscilla Ocen.
NeJaime uses his scholarship to drive debate not only in the public discourse, but in his scholarship, too. In his 2010 UCLA Law Review article, "Lawyering and Marriage Equality," co-authored with Scott Cummings, NeJaime argued against the claim that court decisions upholding same-sex couples' right to marry have harmed the movement. He translates this scholarly research into his classroom teaching.
"I taught Lawrence v. Texas in my Law & Sexuality class and posed the question of whether the court should be getting involved, and whether Justice Kennedy, who authored Lawrence and is now thought to be the deciding vote on these marriage cases, will rule in favor of marriage for same-sex couples," NeJaime said, referring to the landmark 2003 Supreme Court case that found Texas's "homosexual conduct" law unconstitutional.
This led NeJaime to discuss even bigger questions about the role of the Supreme Court in society. "Should [Kennedy] rule in favor of marriage for same-sex couples, what does that mean for states that don't allow it? What does that mean for the movement organized against same-sex couples' right to marry?"
According to NeJaime's teaching philosophy, these broad questions inform how students understand the specific doctrinal questions they are contemplating. "Getting students to think about these institutional questions, which they actually don't think about all that much, is an important thing," he said.

Dr Nick Ede, executive director, Imugene, Australia
Australian drug delivery technology company Imugene has developed Linguet, a drug delivery technology platform, to improve efficacy and safety of existing prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines. Imugene emphasizes that pharmaceutical companies face threat of significant revenue loss from patent expiries, and need to reformulate their existing drugs to gain the market share back.
Through reformulation, a drug company alters characteristics of a brand-name drug just enough to qualify for a new patent under examination procedures of regulatory authorities, while keeping the characteristics of the drugs same as before. Dr Nick Ede, executive director, Imugene, explains how the new technology can be a big revenue booster to drug companies.
What is Linguet drug delivery technology?
Imugene is working on a strategy to reformulate the existing medicines that are currently or soon to become off-patent. Linguet enables the active ingredient of drugs to be absorbed straight into the bloodstream when placed inside the cheek (via the buccal mucosa) or under the tongue (sublingual). The technology uses hydrophilic PEG (polyethylene glycol) molecules to enhance penetration across mucosal membranes. Besides, the technology can also control the amount and rate of drug to be delivered.
The technology was developed by Dr Richard Stenlake and Dr Alan Hewitt, from Sydney-based Stenlake Compounding. In August 2011, this technology was acquired by Consegna and later sold to Imugene in August 2012.

Very nice apartment near Alexander Platz. The property owner was very helpful, and all the indications for the reservation very clear.
Very nice apartment near trains in a nice part of Berlin. Really helpful landlords
Nice an tidy appartment, close to communication just 5 minutes walk. Recommend this place !
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Nice apartment in a decent location
strategic location close to the metro station sudkreuz.Quartiere quiet and hot servito.Appartamento and accogliente.Grazie Ben x having us
This Loft was great. Very spacious and well appointed. Nice quiet building easy check in. The kitchen was adequately equipped but bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The neighborhood had lots to offer and was really close to shopping and the U Ban. I highly recommend this place.
My experience with Windu was less than straightforward. The web site said your credit card would be billed upon check in. Not true, it was billed at the time of the booking. A notice after booking tells you of additional taxes that are assessed. I assumed this is what would be billed upon check-in but evidently one is suppose to leave cash behind to cover it. Attempts to resolve this with the owner were complicated by the web site which refused to send my messages because it would not recognize my phone number.
Found this apartment very disappointing in comparision with others we have rented in the city. It was very dark and gloomy and extremely meagre in terms of towels, and kitchen equipment provided. The nearest shops for basic supplies were at least 10 minutes walk away, unusual for Berlin.
Very nice apartment. Easy to get access to by the information via E-mail. Clean and well equipped. Big up for being on the groundfloor.
The apartment was gorgeous, very spacious, kid friendly and conveniently located! I would definitely recommend. If you want the baby cot you should notify Ben in advance.

Stanford president to discuss computer architecture, April 15
Posted April 12, 2003; 12:20 p.m.
John Hennessy, president of Stanford University, will speak on "Perspectives on High-Performance Computer Architecture: History and Challenges" at 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 15, in McCosh 50.
A pioneer in computer architecture, Hennessy drew together researchers in 1981 to focus on a computer architecture known as RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer), a technology that has revolutionized the computer industry by increasing performance while reducing costs. In addition to leading the basic research, he helped transfer this technology to industry.
In 1984, he cofounded MIPS Computer Systems, now MIPS Technologies, which designs microprocessors. In recent years, his research has focused on the architecture of high-performance computers.
The talk is designated as the Louis Clark Vanuxem Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series . It will be Webcast live.

Apple Signs Contract With Samsung
- 2 Comment
Apple has most likely sold a lot of iPads during the pre-order period and apparently expects to sell a lot more because it has signed a three-year, $240 million deal with Samsung in order to secure three million displays for the iPad.
Samsung is not the only company that has signed big, long-term deals with Apple. LG has been supplying Apple with displays for some time now. By signing with multiple suppliers, Apple can ensure that it is not dependent on just one company to supply displays.
According to a Samsung executive, Apple and Samsung are allegedly working on a contract for supplying displays for the next generation iPhone. The executive probably was not supposed to leak this information, so it remains to be seen if the notoriously secretive Apple will be angry over this news becoming known.

I went to the range today and patterned my new Stoeger P350 12 gauge. I used a TruGlo Gobble Stopper Extreme .665 choke with 3 loads at 40 yards. Overall I love the gun. It's light, easy to clean, and accurate. My POA and POI are the same. It does have substantial recoil but there are factory and aftermarket products to help tame it. I don't have a camera to take pics but here are the numbers from my 3 patterns:
Hevi-13 "bronze" 3", 2 oz., #6, 1090 fps.
10 pellets in the vitals
81 pellets in the turkey outline
165 pellets in an 8" circle
Federal FC lead 3", 2 oz., #6, 1150 fps.
5 pellets in the vitals
54 pellets in the turkey outline
84 pellets in an 8" circle
Winchester HV lead 3", 1 3/4 oz., #6, 1300 fps.
3 pellets in the vitals
28 pellets in the turkey outline
63 pellets in an 8" circle
I made the 8" circle by tracing the outline of an 8" paper plate and all shots were 40 yards. As shown the HTL loads patterned far better than Pb. I never shot HTL loads before but I'm sold. I'd highly recommend the gun, choke, and load. Now all I need is a turkey!

A starter is an electrical motor that is connected to the battery. The job of a starter is to set the engine (pistons, crankshaft, etc.) in motion when you turn the ignition switch on. Once the engine starts and is in motion, the job of starter is done. If the starter goes bad, the engine will not crank properly when you turn the ignition key on or may not crank at all.

IME in the Black Hills and a little south in the Pine Ridge of NW Nebraska ticks are not too bad. Nothing compared to what I run into in N Wis.
You will see some ticks though, especially later in the season. I only seem to run into ticks in the low areas such as creeks and a few drainages where water may collect. You can pick up some ticks in those areas so it pays to have the protection.
Mosquitoes are not real bad either. Later in the season they will be around, especially in the evening and areas near water. It only takes a few to make you get antsy so bring something for them too.

Guwanyi: stories of the Redfern Aboriginal community
In 1982–83 I was doing a short course at the Tin Sheds [University of Sydney gallery and dark room facilities on City Road, Chippendale] with Bruce Hart, who was running a Koori photography class a couple of days a week … He was working at Sydney College of the Arts at the time and he told me they were looking for someone to work as assistant technician in the darkroom at the College … I got a traineeship from DEET [Department of Education, Employment and Training] to do twelve months training in the darkroom and studio. I also did the first, second and third years in the space of about eighteen months instead of doing a three year course ... I worked as a freelance for two years at Rapport Agency. That was good. Challenging. I did a lot of work for Koori organisation: the [Aboriginal] Medical Service, stuff for annual reports, Aboriginal fashion parades, portfolios of Koori people wanting to get into modelling or dance, and Aboriginal
and Islander dance companies. I also did stuff for the AECG [the NSW Aboriginal Education Consultative Group] … I
used to send a lot of stuff to The Bulletin, other freelance work through the agency. But I like doing stuff for Koori organisations first and foremost.
This series of photographs was exhibited in Guwanyi: stories of the Redfern Aboriginal community at the Museum of Sydney, 21 December 1996 – 4 May 1997. The exhibition was curated by Brad Webb, with assistance from Paul Jones, Shane Phillips and Cathy Craigie. Guwanyi presented the work of four photographers: two Aboriginal – Brenda L Croft and Michael Riley – and two non-Aboriginal – Roger Parton and Elaine Kitchener (now Elaine Pelot Syron) – and considered the important Aboriginal presence in Redfern, from first contact with non-Aboriginal people in the late 1700s through to 1996.
Interview with Brad Webb
Where are you originally from?
I'm originally from Dubbo, a country town in mid western NSW. My Dad comes from there and my Mum comes from Moree. My Dad is Wiradjuri and my Mum Kamilaroi.
How do you feel about your photographs being used in this exhibition on Redfern?
I think it is fantastic, I mean I've taken a lot of photographs about and around the community over a number of years and it is good to see those photographs being aired, especially if the Redfern community want them to be seen.
The photos you took in the early '80s of the Redfern Aboriginal Football Knockout – there are a lot of photos of families and football players warming up before a game which really captured the essence of the Knockout.
They are really just snapshots. I didn't go out to try and compose these photos – they are just snapshots of people in a certain time and place.
Blackfellas love it when they have their photographs taken by people that they know. They pose up real big when you pull the camera out – especially family.
When you go into an Aboriginal person's home, inside you see pictures on the drawer or the wall and they pull out their photo albums, you sit there for hours going through the photo albums and a lot of old people carry photographs around. Like I know some people, that friend of mine's mother had this little photo album in her bag and if she hasn't seen you for a while she'll show you all the pictures she has taken.

The Greek parliament passed fresh austerity measures (NYT) February 13, paving the way for a new $170 billion EU-IMF bailout. The development comes amid growing doubts that such a deal will be sufficient to rein in Greece's moutain of debt, and mounting public unrest that saw around 80,000 Greeks take to the streets of Athens in violent demonstrations over the weekend.
The European Central Bank said February 8 that it is prepared to exchange some of its holdings of Greek debt at a price below face value (WSJ), though other sources said ECB officials remained divided (Reuters) over how to aid a Greek restructuring. The potential decision by the ECB, the largest holder of Greek sovereign debt, could reduce the Greek debt burden by around $14 billion. However, the concession is contingent upon EU and IMF approval of the new bailout, which is expected in early March, and Greek leaders determining a $130 billion debt write-down agreement with private creditors.
What's at Stake
Greece has to repay around $19 billion in a March 20 bond redemption, and if it fails to secure further EU funding by then, it will undoubtedly face a disorderly default. Such a scenario would likely signal Greece's exit from the eurozone, with potentially significant knock-on effects for European banks.
The Greek government has been locked in negotiations with its private creditors for weeks, and has still failed to agree on the terms of an approximately 70 percent haircut. But the consensus reached by Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos and his coalition partners Thursday is expected to facilitate a deal with private investors.
The Debate
The IMF has said repeatedly in recent weeks that the private sector haircut will not be enough to enable the Greek government to reduce its debt burden from 160 percent to 120 percent of GDP by 2020--an IMF-mandated target to make the Greek debt burden sustainable in the long term (Bloomberg)-- and has called on Greece's official creditors to sustain sacrifices. It is a move Germany has vehemently resisted, but one that the ECB appeared poised to embrace following its announcement on Wednesday.
Still, an increasing number of analysts and policymakers doubt that the rescue terms being negotiated will be enough to set Greece on the road to fiscal soundness. "The idea that the country can be freed from its debt quagmire through austerity programs and aid pledges tied to conditions just isn't going to work," argues Der Spiegel's Stefan Kaiser. He says the only way out of its sovereign debt crisis is for Greece to go bankrupt--a course that would require private bondholders, European countries, and the ECB to incur significant losses beyond those now being contemplated.
EU leaders, including European Commissioner Neeli Kroes and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, have indicated that the euro could survive a Greek exit (BBC). However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned of "unforeseeable consequences" for the eurozone if Greece were to drop the euro.
Policy Options
The discourse over eurozone policy has begun to shift gradually from one focused entirely on austerity to a more growth-oriented approach. Jean Pisani-Ferry, the director of Brussels-based think tank Bruegel, says the ECB could help facilitate growth in countries weighed down by austerity by cutting its policy rate and "triggering more external demand."
The Peterson Institute for International Economics' Jacob Funk Kirkegaard argues that southern European countries need to implement labor reforms that create more competition in the job market. Similarly, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti recently proposed a plan to authorize the European Commission to sanction EU states that violate the single market to ensure a level playing field (WSJ) that could boost growth.
Background Materials:
Time is running out for the Greek government, which needs to reach a deal on unpopular austerity measures if it is to secure a second EU-IMF bailout, explains this Der Spiegel analysis.
Greece has been on the brink of a debt crisis since its inception, argues Yanis Varoufakis of the University of Athens in this Deutsche Welle "Transatlantic Voices" column.

5 Ways to Optimise Your Mortgage Approval Process

Smoking a joint can be a better and more effective way of easing specific types of chronic pain than the use of legal but addictive prescription narcotics such as OxyContin and morphine.
Is this a flash bulletin from the Cheech and Chong School of Medicine? An advertorial from the pages of High Times magazine? Folk wisdom dispensed by a whacky but reliable Central Square pot dealer?
The answer is none of the above. Instead, the conclusion comes from researchers at the University of California, and has been validated by the American Academy of Neurology.
In other words, this reaffirmation that pot, marijuana, cannabis — whatever you want to call it — has legitimate medical applications comes straight from the conservative bosom of the nation's medical establishment.
While this recent study focused on a very specific sort of pain suffered by HIV victims, its findings are equally applicable to the sorts of pain associated with multiple sclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, and a wide range of side-effects caused by cancer and its treatment.
Plus, more than 150 years of medical research have already established that, in addition to treating certain types of pain, marijuana can be used to treat anxiety, nausea, appetite loss, vomiting, and a host of other afflictions.
Marijuana used in a medical context is not a cure in the sense that antibiotics are. It is more akin to a treatment, something like aspirin. For almost 5000 years, marijuana's medical uses have been recognized around the world as being both valid and versatile.
The US government has a penchant for fighting foolish wars; Vietnam and Iraq are only geopolitical examples. The so-called war on drugs is an equally misguided crusade. It perverts science, compromises medicine, and callously denies millions who are suffering access to fast, effective, and inexpensive relief.
Laws that remove state-level penalties for medical marijuana are currently in place in Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Ten others, plus the District of Columbia, have endorsed the concept.
It is time for Massachusetts to join the ranks of those that make it legal to grow and possess marijuana for medical reasons, subject to medical approval.
As for circumventing prosecution at the federal level, which the US Supreme Court allows, Massachusetts's congressional delegation should vote to deny specifically the funds needed to prosecute such "crimes," and should move to protect doctors who prescribe marijuana for medical reasons.
Of genocideThe Anti-Defamation League (ADL) allowed itself some wiggle room when it granted that the massacre in and around 1915 of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians by Ottoman Turks was "tantamount to genocide." Even so, ADL's announcement marked a change of course.
By actually using the word "genocide" — albeit with a qualifier — the national ADL may have cleared the way for the resolution of a growing local dispute that had threatened the use of an ADL-developed anti-bigotry curriculum in Watertown and surrounding communities. That is good news.
Watertown is home to 8000 Armenian Americans, and many there had resented the fact that the ADL — which recognized the slaughter as fact but refused to employ the term of genocide — should wield control of a "No Place for Hate" program at school.
