- Determination of interaction between MCT1 and CAII via a mathematical and physiological approach (2008)
- The enzyme carbonic anhydrase isoform II (CAII), catalysing the hydration and dehydration of CO2, enhances transport activity of the monocarboxylate transporter isoform I (MCT1, SLC16A1) expressed in Xenopus oocytes by a mechanism that does not require CAII catalytic activity (Becker et al. (2005) J. Biol. Chem., 280). In the present study, we have investigated the mechanism of the CAII induced increase in transport activity by using electrophysiological techniques and a mathematical model of the MCT1 transport cycle. The model consists of six states arranged in cyclic fashion and features an ordered, mirror-symmetric, binding mechanism were binding and unbinding of the proton to the transport protein is considered to be the rate limiting step under physiological conditions. An explicit rate expression for the substrate °ux is derived using model reduction techniques. By treating the pools of intra- and extracellular MCT1 substrates as dynamic states, the time dependent kinetics are obtained by integration using the derived expression for the substrate °ux. The simulations were compared with experimental data obtained from MCT1-expressing oocytes injected with di®erent amounts of CAII. The model suggests that CAII increases the e®ective rate constants of the proton reactions, possibly by working as a proton antenna.
- A Lattice Boltzmann Method for immiscible multiphase flow simulations using the Level Set Method (2008)
- We consider the lattice Boltzmann method for immiscible multiphase flow simulations. Classical lattice Boltzmann methods for this problem, e.g. the colour gradient method or the free energy approach, can only be applied when density and viscosity ratios are small. Moreover, they use additional fields defined on the whole domain to describe the different phases and model phase separation by special interactions at each node. In contrast, our approach simulates the flow using a single field and separates the fluid phases by a free moving interface. The scheme is based on the lattice Boltzmann method and uses the level set method to compute the evolution of the interface. To couple the fluid phases, we develop new boundary conditions which realise the macroscopic jump conditions at the interface and incorporate surface tension in the lattice Boltzmann framework. Various simulations are presented to validate the numerical scheme, e.g. two-phase channel flows, the Young-Laplace law for a bubble and viscous fingering in a Hele-Shaw cell. The results show that the method is feasible over a wide range of density and viscosity differences.

Its so hard to loose a friend of 13 years, all of the sudden their not around anymore.
I got Misty when I was 11 for my birthday and she was honestly one of my best friends.
Misty was the sweetest dog you would ever meet and I miss her so much.
I wish I had been a better mom to her though. I mean she had a great life but I still feel like I could have done more.
Towards the end I was so busy with school and my internship that I didn't get to take her on walks or play with her nearly as much. Misty spent alot of time with my mom during those times.
I always thought I would want to get another dog right after Misty but now I can honestly say I only want Misty back.
Im sure we will get a another dog but not yet.
Thank you to all of my friends on Catster and Dogster for you support. I dont know what I would do without you.
Sarah, Ruben and Gordy
Today I am in fields chasing butterfly's and I am happy.
I had to say goodbye to mom and Grandma but I will see them again. They were sad to see me go but I feel so much better. I can see again and my muscles arn't sore anymore.
Thank you to all of my friends for everything. We love you very much.
Wow! I feel so special to have been chosen to be dog of the day. Thank you so much Dogster and thank you to all my pals too.
I love you!
Ha ha Ruben and Gordy! Today is MY day stinky kitty brothers.

This large 3 bedroom 2 bathroom Cape Cod style house is immaculate and beautifully decorated with a nautical theme. Walk in and enjoy. This house has all the amenities needed for vacation. Just 5 minutes to Cooperstown All Star Village and 20 minutes to Cooperstown Dreams Park. Private large yard with new pool that is 48 inches deep. Gas grill and deck. Master bedroom has a king size bed with large 39' flat screen TV. 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed with a 32' flat screen TV. 3rd bedroom has a queen size bed with flat screen TV. Living room has a large 42' flat screen TV with Blue Ray DVD player along with a DVD collection. Large eat in kitchen with washer and dryer. Air conditioned.All beds have hotel quality linens and comforters.
This house was exceptionally clean. As soon as we walked into the yard we noticed the outside fire pit, new grill and plenty of Adirondack chairs in both the yard and on the large deck. There are also party lights all around the fence which made it nice for outside entertaining. Location was great very close to restaurants and shopping. The owner was local and very nice having introduced herself when she saw us. She manages property that is close to the home yet we had total privacy and were never disturbed. Inside of house had everything from laundry detergent to paper plates. I would absolutely recommend this house.
Super cute house, nicely decorated. Comfy beds and nice plush towels. Enough space for everyone. We stayed here while our oldest son played at Cooperstown All Star Village, about 10 mins away. Perfect set up, we had our other 3 kids and my parents and it was great. Kids loved having a yard and the pool. Kids loved the upstairs room with 2 beds, worked perfect for them. Very easy arrival and departure. And obviously, it was fabulous having a washer and dryer! You don't have to pack as much! Lol.
Marie is great and very easy to get in touch with, if need be. We loved it and would definitely go back!
Exterior not good. Inside could use some updates. Overall, not too bad, but the surrounding area was terrible. It is part of a run down trailer park.
The house was a little smaller than it appeared to be on the pictures but was very neat and clean. Pool is very small, good for kids 10 and under. Owner was very nice and helpful when needed (only for directions to house). Very nice neighbors, one gentleman stopped by during our visit to say hello and even gave a tour of his 200 year old house to me.
We just returned from a week's stay. The house was really cute and beautifully decorated. We were in town for a baseball tourney and wanted to stay close to town and the All Star Village. Most of the rentals available appeared to have older, worn and heavily used furnishings that weren't appealing to me. Not this one! The owner has done a great job with updates and everything was clean and tidy. We had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The deck was a nice spot to sit and have coffee while listening to the creek that ran beside the house. Our younger son enjoyed the fish aquarium. He named the big orange fish "Orange Juice." If we are ever back for another week of baseball, I wouldn't hesitate to book this house again.
We stayed here for a week in the fall. Very nice home. Owner was so accommodating. We enjoyed the beautiful deck at night with the party lights. We plan to stay again this year.

Sometime between Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 5:20 p.m. and Thursday, February 3 at 8:00 a.m. the offices of the Rockford Chamber of Commerce, 598 Byrne Industrial Dr., Rockford, were broken into. Chamber Executive Director Brenda Davis reported that her laptop and a variety of other items were stolen.
"It wasn't the main office that was hit, it was my office," Davis said. She said the Chamber has always been very security conscious, but will be even more so from now on.
Officers believe the person or persons gained access to the building through the warehouse located in the southeast end of the property. Davis said a bolt was broken, but with the heavy snowfall there were no footprints or vehicle tracks by the time the break-in was discovered.
"Police believe something spooked them and they stopped," Davis said of the extent of the damage in the office.
Davis said vandalism took place in addition to the thefts. She said her laptop was password-protected and files were secure and backed up. "I think the police are trying to be very kind and reassuring to us at this point."
Davis said the break-in is strange, given the Chamber office is not a place likely to have cash on hand. "I don't have any idea why they would break in," she said.
Davis has not yet replaced her laptop and said those who need to communicate with the Chamber should call the office at (616) 866-2000. A desktop computer and other areas of the Chamber's offices were left undamaged. Davis said the incident remains under investigation so she is limited to the information she can share. She did say officers gave her no reason to think any other thefts or break-ins occurred during the same time frame.
"Unnerving is a good way to describe it," Davis said. "It's just creepy."
If anyone has information regarding the break-in, the investigating officer is Dave Robinson of the Rockford Police Department. Call (616) 866-9557.

Manipulating fluids and suspended particles in the micro- and nano-scale is becoming more of a reality as enabling technologies, like AC electrokinetics, continue to develop. Here, we discuss the physics behind AC electrokinetics, how to fabricate these devices and how to interpret the experimental observations.
Date Published: 7/28/2008, Issue 17; doi: 10.3791/813
Keywords: Bioengineering, Issue 17, AC Electrokinetics, AC Electroosmosis, Dielectrophoresis, Electrothermal Effect, Microelectrode, Microfluidics, Simulation, Microsphere, Microfabrication
Hart, R., Oh, J., Capurro, J., Noh, H. (. AC Electrokinetic Phenomena Generated by Microelectrode Structures. J. Vis. Exp. (17), e813, doi:10.3791/813 (2008).
The field of AC electrokinetics is rapidly growing due to its ability to perform dynamic fluid and particle manipulation on the micro- and nano-scale, which is essential for Lab-on-a-Chip applications. AC electrokinetic phenomena use electric fields to generate forces that act on fluids or suspended particles (including those made of dielectric or biological material) and cause them to move in astonishing ways1, 2. Within a single channel, AC electrokinetics can accomplish many essential on-chip operations such as active micro-mixing, particle separation, particle positioning and micro-pattering. A single device may accomplish several of those operations by simply adjusting operating parameters such as frequency or amplitude of the applied voltage. Suitable electric fields can be readily created by micro-electrodes integrated into microchannels. It is clear from the tremendous growth in this field that AC electrokinetics will likely have a profound effect on healthcare diagnostics3-5, environmental monitoring6 and homeland security7.
In general, there are three AC Electrokinetic phenomena (AC electroosmosis, dielectrophoresis and AC electrothermal effect) each with unique dependencies on the operating parameters. A change in these operating parameters can cause one phenomena to become dominant over another, thus changing the particle or fluid behavior.
It is difficult to predict the behavior of particles and fluids due to the complicated physics that underlie AC electrokinetics. It is the goal of this publication to explain the physics and elucidate particle and fluid behavior. Our analysis also covers how to fabricate the electrode structures that generate them, and how to interpret a wide number of experimental observations using several popular device designs. This video article will help scientists and engineers understand these phenomena and may encourage them to start using AC Electrokinetics in their research.
Fabricating Cr/Au Electrodes on Glass Substrates
Part 1A: Wet Etch Method
*For the highest quality devices, the fabrication process should be performed in a clean room environment or under laminar flow hoods so that dust and other contaminants won't affect the pattern.
Part 1B: Alternative Protocol - Lift-off Method
Experimental Setup
Part 2: Microsphere injection and observation
Note: It is important not to raise the voltage too high or allow the frequency to get too low or electrolysis of water will occur. The exact voltage or frequency settings for this to occur are dependant on the electrode design. Our lab guidelines are to avoid frequencies below 500 Hz or voltages above 8 V.

In this video, we have shown a wide variety of particle and fluid manipulation behaviors caused by AC electrokinetic phenomena. The electrodes that generate these phenomena are easy to fabricate and can be easily integrated into many other systems. As we have shown, there are numerous applications for the use of AC electrokinetics. The versatility of these devices, as well as the rapid nature of manipulation, makes them particularly attractive. As healthcare and other industries begin to embrace lab-on-a-chip systems, we will likely see the incorporation of AC electrokinetics on those devices as an integral part.

After the Astros royally kicked the Brewers' ass, I meandered to Main Street for a victory beer. The Live Sports Cafe (407 Main, 713-228-5483) was packed because of the De La Hoya fight upstairs and karaoke downstairs. I watched the boxing fans and wannabe singers, then ended up on the front porch checking out the boozers, the beautiful boys and girls, the whacked-out addicts and the working folk. I got a bit restless and ended up back inside, where I asked the charismatic Mateo to make me something special. With a twinkle in his eyes, he put together an interesting-looking shot — the Bob Marley. Just the mention of Bob Marley's name made me miss my stoner days — and how happy I was that dreadlock boy was voted off American Idol (but I digress). It was the second time my request for something special got me a shot made with Jägermeister, so I must look like that kind of gal. But the shot was tropical and tasty, and I gave Mateo the thumbs up and was rewarded with a breathtaking smile. Then this hardworking, Jäger-drinkin' gal jumped on the train and headed home.

Askren by UD:
Round 1
Jason Herzog is the referee for the evening's televised main event. Thompson comes out with some fancy footwork, catches a kick from Askren and misses with a few overhand rights. Thompson catches the champ with a right hand, but Askren goes from turtling to top position with a single-leg in no time flat. Askren quickly passes to the right side of Thompson, who tries to shrimp underneath the wrestler. North-south position for Askren, then he steps around to Thompson's left. Askren is blanketing with Thompson's head trapped under his arm. Hammerfists from the posturing Askren prompt Thompson to grab at a leg lock, but nothing's coming. Askren tries to pin the arm of Thompson, can't get it and Thompson rolls to turtle. Referee Herzog warns Askren for punching to the back of Thompson's head and Thompson rolls back over. More punches from Askren as Thompson tries to stand before getting swept back under. Total domination from Askren with 60 seconds to go. Thompson appears to be bleeding from the bridge of the nose. Thompson gets to his feet and Askren drags him back down just before the bell.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Askren
Rob Fitzpatrick scores the round 10-9 Askren
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Askren
Round 2
Askren swings a wide left hand and ducks in behind it to bring Thompson down again. Quickly back to side control goes Askren, but he's prevented from mounting by Thompson. Another leg lock attempt from Thompson falls by the wayside as Askren rolls over him and takes his back. Askren's right arm goes across Thompson's face; he can't get it under the chin and Thompson survives the scare. Askren stands over Thompson and tries to bomb into guard, but the punches miss. Half-guard for Askren and Thompson tries to tie up from beneath. Askren punches to the body and stands before being awkwardly tripped down by the laying Thompson. No matter -- Askren immediately goes back to side control, then locks up a brabo choke when Thompson tries to scramble. Thompson rolls free and finishes the round on bottom once again.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Askren
Rob Fitzpatrick scores the round 10-9 Askren
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Askren
Round 3
Thompson tries to keep Askren on the end of his jab for the first 40 seconds of the final round... until he's taken down once again by the former Mizzou Tiger. Thompson gets full guard this time and tries to sneak his legs up the body of Askren, but both men are too slippery at this point. Askren passes to side control and gets to work with short, light punches. Thompson regains half-guard as Askren lays his forearm across the throat of the "Goat." Askren steps out, stacks Thompson up and moves to north-south as Thompson turtles. Thompson gets to his feet and Askren tries an ankle pick, but can't get it. Thompson desperately dives on the grounded Askren with 10 seconds to go, but his few punches do no damage and come far too late.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Askren (30-27 Askren)
Rob Fitzpatrick scores the round 10-9 Askren (30-27 Askren)
Chris Nelson scores the round 10-9 Askren (30-27 Askren)
Official scores: Judge Jim Lambert has the bout 30-26, while judges David Sutherland and Gary Ritter both have it 30-27 in favor of the winner by unanimous decision, Ben

Local and global : cultural globalization, consumerism, and children's fiction
Mallan, Kerry M. & Bullen, Elizabeth (2011) Local and global : cultural globalization, consumerism, and children's fiction. In Mallan, Kerry & Bradford, Clare (Eds.) Contemporary Children's Literature and Film: Engaging with Theory. Palgrave MacMillan, Basingstoke, Hampshire, pp. 57-78.

According to Zygmunt Bauman in Liquid Modernity (2000), the formerly solid and stable institutions of social life that characterised earlier stages of modernity have become fluid. He sees this as an outcome of the modernist project of progress itself, which in seeking to dismantle oppressive structures failed to reconstruct new roles for society, community and the individual. The un-tethering of social life from tradition in the latter stages of the twentieth century has produced unprecedented freedoms and unparalleled uncertainties, at least in the West. Although Bauman's elaboration of some of the features and drivers of liquid modernity – increased mobility, rapid communications technologies, individualism – suggests it to be a neologism for globalisation, it is arguably also the context which has allowed this phenomenon to flourish. The qualities of fluidity, leakage, and flow that distinguish uncontained liquids also characterise globalisation, which encompasses a range of global trends and processes no longer confined to, or controlled by, the 'container' of the nation or state. The concept of liquid modernity helps to explain the conditions under which globalisation discourses have found a purchase and, by extension, the world in which contemporary children's literature, media, and culture are produced. Perhaps more significantly, it points to the fluid conceptions of self and other that inform the 'liquid' worldview of the current generation of consumers of texts for children and young adults. This generation is growing up under the phase of globalisation we describe in this chapter.

Van Helsing II - Preview @ Save Continue
Save Continue has a short preview of the second part of The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing from Pax Prime.
No, no and no.
Van Helsing is a great I-need-a-no-brainer game and the content inside is the right amount. A bit less or a bit more would ruin it.
And now too soon we'll get more of a same "using the same engine as its predecessor"?
No, no and no.
However, if such "standalone expansion" would be cheaper than the original game like in the case of FC3:BloodDragon, I'll say yes. ;)
More brainless klik-klik. No thanks.

The financial cost of computer security breaches is increasing, with U.S. companies and federal agencies reporting a loss of $455.8 million within the last year, according to the seventh annual joint FBI/Computer Security Institute Computer Crime and Security Survey. The robbery of proprietary data added up to a $170.8 million loss, financial fraud accounted for $115.7 million, and insiders abusing Net access cost $50 million, according to respondents. Survey results conclude that most attacks originate externally--40 percent reported outside intrusions while 80 percent blamed most attacks on "independent hackers." The survey lists viruses as the chief means of cyber intrusion, responsible for an increase in financial losses from $45.3 million last year to $49.9 million this year. The results also seem to support the suspicion that computer penetration is more commonplace than people think, while the installation of security products is no guarantee of effective protection. The survey advises companies to keep their disaster recovery and business continuity plans up to date, and to join the Infragard information sharing venture.
Spurred on by accusations that its software code is insecure and prone to failure, Microsoft ordered 9,000 programmers to take a retraining course on writing secure software. Corporate software security leaders Michael Howard and Doug Bayer say that customers were particularly incensed by the damage wreaked last year by the Code Red and Nimda worms. Since February, Microsoft employees have been reviewing Windows operating system code and reexamining their development practices. Howard, who prepared the course material, says the company will follow through on what Bill Gates promised in a January memo and "lead the industry in delivering secure software." To meet this challenge, Microsoft will have to weigh the pros and cons of sacrificing ease of use for new security, as well as cutting back its focus on adding new features. Its .Net initiative, with its distributed computing design, carries its own set of formidable security problems. Critics are finding fault with Microsoft's review process: Open-source developer and Day Software chief scientist Roy Fielding expresses concern that the programmers taking the security course are likely to nod off from studying the long lines of code. Meanwhile, Infidel President Rebecca Bace says, "I think that the reason that people are upset with [Microsoft] is the perception that Microsoft will always choose the extra feature, begging the issue of whether that feature is actually of high value to the user and damning the security impact it might represent to all users."

Silicon Valley tech companies' business with Israeli firms could be seriously affected by the intense violence currently sweeping through the Middle East. Intel, Applied Materials, and Cisco are some of the Bay Area companies with Israeli subsidiaries, while at least 24 Israeli companies have U.S. subsidiaries in the valley; many of these companies are based in cities that have been the scene of suicide bombings. The conflict has caused many companies to halt travel plans and shift board meetings and customer demos to more secure areas in the United States and Europe. Foreign investment has also declined sharply: The Bank of Israel recently disclosed that venture capital for Israeli tech companies plummeted from $7.9 billion to $2.8 billion between 2000 and 2001. Business ties between Silicon Valley and Israel have expanded dramatically in the last 10 years, and Israel has evolved into one of the foremost tech hubs thanks to military computer training programs and the emigration of skilled tech workers from the former Soviet Union. Apax Partners consultant Isabel Maxwell is hoping that Secretary of State Colin Powell's visit to Israel will help diffuse the crisis and ease tensions among investors.
Mobile devices are running vastly more complex applications with the rollout of high-speed mobile networks and the critical business applications delivered over them. However, mobile phones and PDAs need greater processing power to run these applications, while at the same time form factors are slimming down. Deloitte Consulting mobile expert Paul Lee notes that user adoption has ramped up proportionally as phones become more svelte. He says new high-speed technologies such as general packet radio service (GPRS) chips are being hindered by battery limitations, but more efficient mobile chips promise to break those barriers. Intel recently released its Pentium 4 processor-M chip for mobile devices, heralding the emergence of a huge market for processors that reduce power consumption while being able to handle complex applications. Gartner analyst Phillip Redman says memory will also play an important role in the development of mobile computing and predicts that small hard disks like the ones used in high-end digital photography will be put in virtually all mobile devices in the future. By 2005, he says, a one-inch hard disk drive will hold up to 10 GB of data, with 20 and 30 GB capacities enabled by 1.8-inch disk drives.
South African entrepreneur Tania Broveak Hide, CEO of Electric Genetics, believes that bioinformatics is the key to addressing major African health problems and expanding the job market. HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis are just some of the diseases running rampant in Africa, notes the European Bioinformatics Institute's Ewan Birney, who helped organize a "biohackathon" sponsored by Hide's company. Three novice bioinformatics researchers were selected to participate in the biohackathon with programmers from other leading institutions, such as MIT and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. In order to make the most of bioinformatics, it must remain open source, according to Hide. "The more data you have, the better chance you're going to come up with the right answer," she explains. The South African government has also outlined a national biotech initiative to cultivate the country's biotech market. Hide projects that biotech venture capital funds such as Bioventures will increase. Electric Genetics has close ties to the South African National Bioinformatics Institute (SANBI), which aims to promote the development of domestic bioinformatics programmers. One example of this was a recent World Health Organization training course hosted by SANBI, in which students were encouraged to excel using state-of-the-art bioinformatics programs running on Linux.
The aftermath of Sept. 11 has led to a major reexamination of the federal allocation of radio frequency spectrum, according to speakers at the Spectrum Summit. The past 10 years saw large portions of federal spectrum sold to commercial wireless carriers, but the growing emphasis on national security should lead to a significant change in policy, say federal, state, and local officials as well as utilities executives attending the summit. Before allocating spectrum, the FCC and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration must determine if the allocation contributes to public safety and the security of the nation's critical infrastructure, insists Treasury Department official and co-chair of the Public Safety Wireless Network Julio Murphy. Deputy assistant secretary of defense for spectrum space and sensors Steven Price says the Defense Department should consider "the first national priority, [DOD's] constitutional mission to protect national security," before it sells more spectrum to commercial interests. The DOD owns the largest segment of federal spectrum, which cell phone providers are eager to exploit to deploy next-generation services. Diane Cornell of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet organization proposes that public safety agencies could contract out to commercial providers, thus giving both federal and private-sector users adequate spectrum.
InPhase Technologies, an off-shoot of Bell Labs, says its new holographic data storage technology will be ready for the market by the end of 2003. The company's Tapestry holographic technology, which will be unveiled at the National Association of Broadcasters show on April 8 along with other storage technology advances, uses a split laser beam and megapixel mirror array to store holographic images throughout a compact disc so that it can hold 100 GB, or the equivalent of 20 entire movies. Tapestry developers say the format is extremely durable and spreads the data out in the disc, not just writing it on the surface only. DVD players will be able to read the Tapestry data at a rate of 20 Mbps and the technology is expected to be built on smaller chip-size formats as well. Other companies are also pursuing high-density data discs, such as Matsushita, which has a double-sided rewritable disc that the company aims to build into next-generation DVD technology. And Constellation 3D says its Fluorescent Multi-layer Disc will initially hold 100 GB, but its capacity will increase to up to one terabyte.
The European Parliament will decide this week whether electronics makers will be required to pay for the disposal and recycling of discarded household electronic and electrical products. The parliament and EU governments are likely to be at odds over who has responsibility for disposal, a key issue of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive. Manufacturers need to be individually responsible for their products, according to parliament, while governments want countries to have the power to decide for themselves whether to follow this mandate or institute a collective recycling fund. Another sore point for industry are plans to have manufacturers pay for the disposal of e-waste from competitors that no longer have a market presence. The rules under consideration call for the phasing out of toxic substances such as cadmium, lead, and mercury by 2007, unless there are no workable alternatives. Furthermore, the legislation also requires that at least 75 percent of large household goods' average product weight gets reused or recycled. Orgalime calculates that producers would have to invest about 15 billion euros if the directive is passed, while handling equipment already on the market would cost around 40 billion euros; annual industry costs would total 7.5 billion euros. The EU's 15 member countries produce over 6 million tons of e-waste annually, with an approximately 5 percent increase being recorded each year.
Assorted technologies under development are paving the way for computer screens far more advanced than current models. Cambridge Display Technology is working on lightweight, ultra-thin flat-panel displays based on light-emitting polymer (LEP) technology. The advantages of LEP include sub-microsecond response time, low-voltage electricity requirements, malleability and flexibility, and temperature resistance. Cambridge's Stewart Hough says the displays could be viewed at any angle and would feature sharper contrast without smearing fast-moving images. Cambridge projects that the technology will appear in consumer electronics, cell phones, and virtual reality headsets, but could also find use as a replacement for cathode ray tubes. Meanwhile, Royal Philips Electronics and other companies are developing electronic paper products that could debut in a few years, once erasability and durability have been perfected; e-paper offers zero power consumption, since electronic ink does nothing but reside on the display. "You can imagine, therefore, that the initial applications will be mobile phones, e-books, and PDAs, where readability and power are crucial," explains Jeremy Cohen of Royal Philips. A UCLA team has also made strides in 3D display technology using crystalline molecules, while Canesta of Silicon Valley is developing a 3D vision system that computers can use to perceive the outside environment.
Technology has given the 33 million severely disabled people in the United States, 12 percent of the population, a chance to use computers and surf the Internet. Many of the leading tech companies that cater to disabled users are small, including Words-Plus, which makes the communications devices that Stephen Hawking uses to send email, write books, and carry on conversations. The severely disabled market is very segmented, a factor that has kept large firms away but has encouraged many smaller firms to pursue market niches. A recent high-tech trade show for firms catering to the disabled, organized by Cal State Northridge's Center on Disabilities, filled two hotel ballrooms. Some highly useful products were not designed with the disabled in mind, such as Scansoft's Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition program, and Origin Instruments Co.'s head mouse, which uses infrared technology to enable users to control mouse movements using their heads. High support costs for these products is another factor that has kept larger firms out of the market. Words-Plus CEO Walter Woltosz says, "There are customers we have lost money on because of all the support time." Still, although technology advances have enabled the disabled to use computers, and have made it possible for those with acquired disabilities to continue working, those who were disabled at birth have had a harder time finding appropriate jobs.

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) report in Nature that they have devised a way to grow nanotubes on silicon dioxide in specific, rather than random, patterns. "The whole thing has become as simple as patterning silicon dioxide on silicon, which microelectronics people know how to do very well," declares Professor Pulickel Ajayan, who is directing the RPI research team along with Professor Ganapathiraman Ramanath. The team has been able to arrange nanotubes into conical, square, and flower-like structures using the technique. The method allows nanotubes to grow in several directions at once, and Ajayan projects that improved patterning tools should one day make single nanotube patterning possible. As for the immediate future, he sees the technique being applied to the creation of nanofilters. Physicist Mikhail Roco says this innovation could also pave the way for nanostructures as well as nanotube-based computer circuits. Ajayan says that as patterning tools improve, companies might also use nanotubes to make advanced video displays with field emitter arrays.
Israel-based OTM Technologies, in conjunction with Motorola, Microsoft, Siemens, and as-yet unnamed Asian electronics manufacturers, will develop a digital pen as an alternative to mice and keyboards. OTM says the Virtual Pen (VPen) would offer computer designers a less bulky, more flexible interface to incorporate into smaller, more portable machines. OTM's design contribution will be the minuscule optical laser reader installed at the pen's tip, while its partners will supply handwriting recognition technology. The low-cost VPen can be used on multiple surfaces, consumes little power, and will be initially marketed as a supplemental tool for the world's leading mobile phone, handheld, and consumer electronics manufacturers. OTM says the VPen will be an ideal accessory for smart phones, which integrate both handheld and mobile phone technology; officials also say gamers could use the tool as a joystick for games played over cell phones. Forrester Research analyst Charles Golvin says the VPen has potential, since future mobile devices will need a good input mechanism if they "are going to become the ubiquitous data-handling devices the industry says they will be."
The Italian government is pioneering the first steps in bridging the digital divide between countries in the G-8 group and developing nations. Leaders from the G-8 countries agreed on such a course in Genoa, Italy last year, but have not yet acted, leading Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to give Lucio Stanca, the minister for technology and innovation, authority to build five e-government projects abroad. He will meet with representatives from developed nations, the United Nations, the World Bank, and leading technology providers next week in Palermo, Sicily. Stanca, formerly head of IBM's Europe, Middle East, and Africa group, says the projects are designed to help countries with some existent infrastructure modernize and pave the way for more foreign investment and aid. He says initiatives such as the real estate database in Nigeria and the e-procurement system in Tunisia will increase the transparency and efficiency needed to give foreign lenders confidence. Ideally, each of the countries in the G-8 would commit to building a similar number of e-government projects in emerging economies around the world, Stanca says. The countries currently working with Italy are Jordan, Mozambique, Nigeria, Tunisia, and Albania.
The Edge Side Includes (ESI) caching standard is seen as a way to deliver dynamic Web content while reducing bottlenecks, hardware costs, and customer response times. Processing tasks are distributed among several servers, which can boost an IT infrastructure's scalability, reliability, fault tolerance, and security. The pioneering work that led to ESI was done at Akamai Technologies and Oracle, who collaborated first with each other and then with 15 more vendors to deliver the standard's first release last June. Participants include IBM, BEA Systems, Digital Island, Mirror Image, Macromedia, SilverStream Software, Open Market, and Art Technology Group. Once the World Wide Web Consortium assumed responsibility for the standard, the vendors had to be convinced to build ESI-enabled products. "Adding new features to current products usually takes six to 12 months, so I expect the number of vendors delivering ESI-compliant products to increase from the summer through the end of the year," predicts Yankee Group analyst Neal Goldman. One of ESI's earliest users was the Seattle Times new media department, which elected to deploy Akamai's EdgeSuite services in order to better process Web page requests when news is breaking.

The potential for massive loss of digital data prompted Congress to set aside $100 million in 2000 so the Library of Congress could develop a program for archiving digital data. The Library of Congress, as well as other organizations, has its hands full considering floppy disks can start to lose data within 10 years, compared to paper made from wood pulp, which deteriorates after 50 years. Businesses, government agencies, and academic institutions also will have to face the prospects that certain reading devices no longer will be available, and that there will be a lack of documentation for file formats as software is updated. Digital data will need to be converted to new formats frequently, and the cost of maintenance and the needed infrastructure will be daunting, considering that server farms maintaining Web files have contributed to energy problems in California. The issue of whether to save everything must be addressed, even if the cost of digital archiving was affordable and there was an easy way to index and search for information. Internet pioneer Brewster Kahle is involved in an online archiving project, and realizes his collection makes up a fraction of the Web. Indeed, there would be too much useless data if the pack-rat approach was taken; things to discard must be identified. Libraries, companies, and the government will do their part in saving digital data, but individuals have key roles to carry out as well in determining what will be of interest to future generations.

Former Speaker of the House of Representatives Newt Gingrich has a new role as advocate of nanotechnology, homeland security, and science education. Gingrich is now involved in a group, which includes Leslie Gelb, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, and James Schlesinger, former Secretary of Defense and Energy, that maintains terrorism is the greatest threat to national security followed by the low level of scientific aptitude by American youth. In an interview with Red Herring, Gingrich says America must invest in a real-time vaccine technology, which would serve as a system for quickly generating a vaccine in large quantities in the event of a bioterrorism attack. Nanotechnology is particularly important to Gingrich, who believes "there's no other investment you can make that will have as big a payoff over the next 50 years." In fact, he sees nanotechnology as the next cycle of science and technology that will determine which nations are competitive in the years to come. However, there are some concerns that America may not be able to take full advantage of nanotechnology, considering the state of math and science education in the country. Gingrich says that America must do what it takes to produce more homegrown math and science geniuses, even if it means tripling the education budget and paying high school students so they will have more of an incentive to study calculus than to flip hamburgers at McDonald's for extra money. If the federal government ran its programs and agencies more efficiently, by using distance learning for training and devising logistics chains similar to Wal-Mart, Gingrich contends the money saved could be put toward education.
Linux has made significant inroads in the last decade: Most hardware vendors offer some version of the operating system, while its security and Web server and clustering capabilities have an edge over many products. Linux use and acceptance is increasing thanks to its versatility, portability, stability, and being freely available. Yet it still has not cracked the commercial software developer market for a number of reasons. Developers do not like the fact that multiple versions of Linux exist, and also complain about its high rate of change, although the Linux Standards Base has made some progress in rectifying this situation; in addition, although corporate software vendors distribute or plan to distribute Linux-enabled products, many legacy applications exist that lack "official" Linux support. IT managers are also reticent to give up certified solutions from software suppliers, an attitude that comes into conflict with system administrators, who want to have a wider choice of Linux distributions. A lack of IT personnel who are familiar with Linux represents another challenge. But the GNU Public License is the biggest sore point for developers--companies cannot control Linux as intellectual property, and thus give up the right to hide source code from rivals and customers.
The University of Maryland, College Park, is hosting a new entrepreneurship program that aims to help students with business ideas formulate and execute their plans. Funded by alumni Brian Hinman, founder of Internet broadband equipment maker 2Wire, the Hinman Campus Entrepreneurship Opportunities (CEO) initiative has enrolled about 100 students so far, roughly half of which are pursuing technical degrees. Program co-director David Barbe says students without engineering or science backgrounds often join teams by helping to build marketing plans, and that faculty with ideas for a startup also can link with students through the program. Of the 15 businesses already launched through the CEO program, one selling ultraviolet sensor technology has already raised over $60,000 in funding from the university and contests. Karen S. Thornton, associate program director, says students will be able to draw on their connections formed through the initiative in the future.
Social networks such as communities are sustained by social capital, and the need for social capital is evident in the wake of Sept. 11, when survivors need the comfort of responsible communities. Communications tools such as the Internet are helping to build and strengthen social capital, and technology professionals must develop a comprehensive strategy in order to enhance and improve the effectiveness of such media. They must focus on developing inexpensive hardware, software, and infrastructure that is available to anyone regardless of social strata, income, and educational level. The challenges inherent in doing this include creating highly accessible technologies and making sure that the software supports online social interaction. Community leaders and moderators must also contribute if trust--the foundation of any social network--is to be engendered. A key component of generating trust is developing a system that can measure community members' presence and past interactions. Justifying the creation of online communities requires a wide-ranging solution for determining their development costs and advantages, while insight into social interactions and the concept of technology as a mediator will aid in their development. A successful online community must be built upon existing technology that can increase its power and be universally available.

We are two families from Germany (by profession a biologist, an artist and medical doctors) who previously have been travelling widely. Almost 20 years ago we discovered the enchanting beaches of south Quintana Roo, the area which is now called the Costa Maya. We came back to Mahahual every year ever since. In 1995 we purchased our beach property. After experimenting a few years with living on the beach in simple palm-thatched huts (palapas), we decided to build the house in 1999. Our experience with the local climatic conditions helped us to design a house that is enjoyable year-round and that can withstand strong tropical storms. Since 2001 we have been opening our villa for guests to rent.We manage our property directly. The keys are with our caretaker on site. The caretaker also maintains the property and prepares the house before arrival.

not to raise the dead but... i just did lime creek road today and this road is pure ecastcy. probably the closest youll ever get to running a tarmac rally stage. this shouldnt be called a road, it is a point to point race track. im not one to condone street racing or being an idiot on the road, but this road brought out the teenager in me. ive still got a permasmile from the constant switchbacks and hairpins. if you want proof of this road youtube it. or go look at google maps. this road is like a section of the dragon cut out and pasted beside lake travis. there is a bunch of elevation change too, at least 250ft worth of up and downs, the hairpins are banked, and i went faster than im proud to admit but my god it was fun. highly recommened.... and for those that BMW about not having roads in houston... i dare you to drive this road, youll do the commute just for a couple of runs. (im from houston and i would totally drive out here to do this).

deadfalls seem to be the order of the day.
Been floating down and paddling up tributaries of local river the last week or so.
A LOT of downed trees, and many that just plain block the waterway. The scout canoe I use is just 29 lbs (Dagger/Tupelo, 10.5),so easy enough to drag around, but some of these things are streamers that could get ugly with a heavier, less maneuverable boat. The wind storms always put timber down, but some passage-ways are just plain blocked.
Around here, water is lower than it has been in quite a number of years, even with the very shallow draft boat, a lot of dragging and walking required.
With waders, gun and ammo, and dog in the heavier boat, not optimistic about solo floats close to home. Could be dangerous, and, in some cases, just not "do-able."
Anybody else seeing this? We've had only marginal rains, if any, all summer long.
Be safe.

Throughout the 20th century, Turkish governments repeatedly attempted to suppress the culture and rights of its Kurdish minority. The teaching of Kurdish in schools was restricted and being a Kurd was a detriment in employment or government work. Ironically, the fundamentalist Justice and Development Party led by Prime Minislter Erdogan and President Gul have shifted the government's position towards one in which Kurdish culture and language are being supported and encouraged. There is even discussion about requiring knowledge of the Kurdish language of civil servants working in mainly Kurdish areas of Turkey. Historically, Turkey used military force to quell separatist militants, but now there has been a shift to political, economic and social factors as a way to win over the Kurdish population. The evidence is clear the new approach is working and fewer and fewer Kurds are urging a separate nation. The Justice and Development Party is now garnering a large sector of the Kurdish vote despite its strong Muslim connections.
Turkey displays to the world a prime example of a Muslim led government that is democratic and able to work with various groups in the quest for peace. It respects both secularism and the rights of minorities.

Pre-Ramadan madness
Published on 8 July 2013 in Culture
Sara Al-Zawqari (author)
Sara Al-Zawqari (author)
If you ask the ladies what is the best thing about Ramadan, they'll tell you, "We can stay out shopping late, and no one will tell us anything."
And don't even try passing by a street that is near a supermarket! These roads are blocked, cars are parked miles down the road, and the shops are overcrowded.
Usually wives start preparing their husbands mentally, emotionally, and financially months before Ramadan arrives.
When you see the amount of people inside supermarkets, you'd think that the country is going to war. Every inch of the supermarket is filled with products: on the shelves and on the floor. Just roll up your sleeves and start pushing and fighting!
All you see is a bunch of octopuses—hands grabbing things and throwing them on top of the mountain of goods in the shopping carts. The lines at the cashiers are so long. When you stand in line you can't even see the cashier.
Preparations for this holy month mainly center on thinking about food. Logically, we should be consuming less food since we fast during the day. In the month where we are supposed to feel for the hungry, the opposite happens, we waste food and squander money left and right.
If you ask anyone d why they fast, you'll get this answer: we fast to sympathize and feel for those in need, and to discipline ourselves. Everyone memorizes these two lines, but most people don't mean it. Are you sure you are showing sympathy and that you understand what they go through every single day, when you're pushing two shopping carts full of food? When your cupboards and refrigerators are so full that you have to find a new storage place for food? When you throw food in the trash?
And to those who seek to diet, or stop chewing qat or smoking during Ramadan, they spend the weeks before Ramadan overdoing everything. If they want to lose weight they'll eat sweets every day, and if they want to give up qat, they'd chew day and night and if they want to stop smoking, they smoke double their usual amount. This is one of the worst ways to try to quit something.
Ramadan is the season for TV series and soap operas. More than 100 series are played during Ramadan. The previews for the series have been airing for quite some time.
Ladies specialize in taking notes—writing down the names of the shows, the timing and the channel they will be aired in. Then they discuss with their friends what series they will watch, then the discussion shifts to the house. After long arguments, each person in the family chooses one show.
I always hear people complain about the influx of shows in Ramadan, which they say act like a distraction from religious requirements. Whose fault is this? Production companies wouldn't spend millions if they knew they were not going to get watched. They know their market.
Many needy families end up taking out loans, and end up spending the rest of the year paying off their debts. Who said that Ramadan compels us to spend money, and throw food in the bin? Ramadan's demands are simpler—but perhaps harder to actually meet—we are asked to empathize with others, to become better people.

CANADA STOCKS-Investors shun TSX amid oil, bond market tumult
* TSX ends down 135.29 points, or 0.89 percent, at 15,019.39
* All ten main sectors lower
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, June 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index fell on Thursday as a tumble in oil prices stung energy producers and bucking bond markets had investors backing away from utilities and pipelines.
Investors are jittery about a slew of unresolved issues in global financial markets, including uncertainty around when the U.S. economy will be judged strong enough to merit Federal Reserve rate hikes.
"The bond markets are forcing investors' hands, they are making a move ahead of any central bank rate hikes that may or may not come over the next year or two," said Elvis Picardo, a strategist at Global Securities in Vancouver.
"With higher yields you're paying more for debt," he said. That hurts debt-reliant sectors such as utilities, which fell 2 percent, and pipelines such as Enbridge Inc, the heaviest individual weight on the index with a 1.9 percent retreat to C$59.19.
The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index ended down 135.29 points, or 0.89 percent, at 15,019.39. All 10 main sectors on the index fell.
Crude oil fell ahead of a key producer meeting, base metals prices retreated on concerns about slipping Chinese growth, and Greece and its creditors talked some more. Continued...

Avian Incubation: Behaviour, Environment, and Evolution
Denis Charles Deeming
Oxford University Press, 2002 - Nature - 421 pages
This is the first scientific review of all factors affecting incubation in avian nests. These range from nest construction, egg characteristics and patterns of embryonic development. There is an extensive section describing incubation behaviour of parents and embryos, and there are chapters reviewing brood patch physiology and the various factors determining the incubation environment, including nest microbiology. Another section provides chapters giving detailed descriptions of examples of unusual aspects of avian incubation, whilst the final section provides consideration of the ecological, energetic and fitness cost of incubation. Written by authorities in their respective fields from around the world, this provides a comprehensive review of this critical aspect of avian reproduction. Much of the data included has not been previously published, and so Avian Incubation is not only an extensive reference text but is also a valuable contribution to our basic understanding of incubation.

Panoramic Visor Offers 360 Degree Views
The FlyVIZ prototype headset allows users to know what's going on all around them at once.
Peripheral vision is nice, but it's nothing like having eyes in the back of your head. With some further development, that's quite possibly what the FlyVIZ will provide.
A system designed at the Grande École d'Ingenieurs Paris-Laval in France, the FlyVIZ is a modified headset that captures images in every direction around the wearer and then processes them in a comprehensible panoramic view.
Built from a modified Sony Personal 3D Viewer headset, the device uses a camera and mirrors mounted on an attached helmet to capture the environment. Then a laptop processes the information into something usable to the human eye and brain.
The system is reported to take roughly 15 minutes to become acclimated with, but the user is then able to move unhindered in any direction. The device is not supposed to cause any motion sickness, and should in fact heighten the users senses as they're more visually aware of their surroundings. In tests, the user was able to dodge objects thrown at them from behind, grab objects out of their normal line of sight, and even drive.
While the FlyVIZ plays back the video images in real-time, it is currently unable to work without connection to the laptop. A potentially streamlined version of the FlyVIZ could be reasonably useful for police and security, or anyone else that would require full surveillance of there surroundings.
Check out the video below to see it in action, but be warned it is in French:

This is a discussion on Man Dies of 35-Year-Old Gunshot Wound within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; Man Dies of 35-Year-Old Gunshot Wound By ANGELA K. BROWN AP - FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan 7) -- A man shot in the back 35 ...
Man Dies of 35-Year-Old Gunshot Wound
By ANGELA K. BROWN
AP -FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan 7) --
A man shot in the back 35 years ago has died of complications from the shooting and his death has been ruled a homicide but prosecutors fear the trail for the suspect has long ago gone cold.
So far, police and prosecutors said they have been unable to find out who shot Craig Buford in the back in Denver in 1973.
It was a time before records could be filed on computers.
Lynn Kimbrough, a spokeswoman with the Denver District Attorney's Office, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that her office might file charges if evidence and witnesses can be found.
"After 35 years has passed, that might be a pretty tall order," Kimbrough said.
Although hospitalized for several months after the shooting, Buford healed and had few lasting effects, his relatives said.
He drove city buses in Denver and Seattle and was a truck driver before retiring. He moved to Fort Worth about a year ago.
Buford, 54, was hospitalized recently and had surgery after doctors determined his colon had ruptured; he died Dec. 29.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Buford's death a homicide, caused by multiple organ failure from complications from his wound.
"He never had any serious health problems, so I was a little surprised to hear all this homicide business after all these years," his wife, Carolyn Buford, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram in Tuesday editions.
She said her husband told her about the shooting but she didn't know him then.
She said he had gone to school to pick up a girlfriend and started gambling with other teens.
She said he won some money, and when he refused to give in to the other teens' demands to return it, he was shot.
According to a Denver newspaper article, Craig Buford drove himself to the hospital and named a 17-year-old as the shooter.
Craig Buford didn't dwell on the shooting, his wife said. "He ran into the guy one time, and he said the guy was kind of scared about seeing him," Carolyn Buford told the Fort Worth newspaper.
"He told him, 'Just forget about it. It's over with.'"
I think they would have an uphill battle trying to convince a jury that 35 years after having no complications he died from the gun shot wound.
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
The generally accepted standard is death within one year of assault, to be considered a homicide. This is bizarre. How can anyone say that a 35 year old wound was the cause of death. Ridiculous.

I thought it was pretty doggone bizarre also.
I dunno... If I inject you with aids, but medicine keeps you alive for 20 years should I not be charged with murder once you finally die (of aids)?
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
curious how the docotrs determined the gun shot was to blaim
why would it not be the doctor's fault (the one who originally treated his gun shot wound) for not taking care of it completely?
its rediculous and i don't think any jury would go for it.
"An armed society is a polite society" - Robert A. Heinlein
It's bizarre, but I'm with SIXTO. And it doesn't seem like the coroner would have any motive other than to give an honest assessment. If they can find somebody to bring to trial, let the jury decide how good the evidence is...
kohburn, that would be a malpractice suit. If the bullet, no matter how mishandled, caused the death, the shooter is to blame---no shot, no death, and no statute of limitations on murder, either.

Maybe the doctor could not fully or completely fix the problem.why would it not be the doctor's fault (the one who originally treated his gun shot wound) for not taking care of it completely?
My grandmother died of a staph infection 22 years she first contracted it as a result of a compound complex bone break. Despite repeated efforts to to eradicate the infection, it managed to survive in the broken bone. The docs would knock it down and think it was gone, only to then have it flare up again a few years later. It finally took her in her late 80s.
So, a person could die of a wound decades later.
Considering yourself to be defenseless is the first administrative step to becoming a victim.
What about his 35yrs of life style? 35 yrs of diet? Any of that could mostly contribute to his death...not JUST the gun shot wound from 35yrs ago.
Was he fit, did he do all he could do to stay fit, and eat right so that wound could heal it's best? Did he smoke?....to much left out.
Heck the guy whom shot him could be dead....superhighend CEO, Bill Gates, Obama?
Cheesy if you ask me.

It would not be the first time someone died of a gunshot wound years after receiving it.
Where's the dividing line? If he dies in 3hrs, it's murder. If in 20 days, it's murder. In 1yr, it's questionable, and in 35yrs it's natural causes? If the colon ruptured due to the bullet eating away the lining this long afterwards, it still ruptured due to the bullet's effects ... 35yrs or not.
That is a long time, though. Doesn't happen every day that a gunshot wound takes that long to take out its target.

I shamelessly admit that, despite being a man standing 6'4", I was intimidated by the nice grandmothers waiting in the Elwell Family Food Center. The building on the Iowa State Fairgrounds houses, according to a sign outside, the largest food department of any state fair, with nearly 900 competitive classes. And in my mind, this was a kingdom that a gang of older ladies rules in roughly the same way Norse kings lorded over their mead halls.
Pies may seem all flaky pastry and sweet memories, but come August in Iowa, they turn into Olympic-grade serious business. An Iowan who scores a pie ribbon from the state fair—which draws more than 1 million visitors—gains the kind of immortality otherwise reserved for high school sports champions. And now I had recklessly accepted the job of deciding who would be wreathed in such glory.
I sat down at the judges' table for the Ms. American Pie competition, hosted by Beth Howard, an author who lives and bakes pies in the American Gothic house in southeast Iowa. Beth adamantly preaches that pie should be shared. That it should bring people together. That it is not about perfection.
Beth Howard shows off this year's state fair T-shirt.
I wasn't so sure that everyone in the Elwell Center shared Beth's laissez-faire spirit. A serious-looking lady named Sharon sat down beside me to transcribe all of my judging observations. "Have you judged at the fair before?" she asked. "No," I said, and added, "But I work at Midwest Living," considering that all the credentials a pie guy needs. Apparently unimpressed, she said, "Do you eat pie?"
Thus bolstered by my culinary caddy, I set to work on three pies assigned to me in the preliminary round. I tried to guard my facial expressions like a poker player, knowing that the bakers were surely watching from somewhere in the standing-room crowd. The judges' assistant to my right, Louise, whispered a tip before we started. "If you taste a pie that is awful—and sometimes they are—don't make a face. Just raise a napkin to your mouth and wipe the bite away." I nodded as seriously as a Tibetan monastery student. And just to drive the point home, she added, "Over in Beer and Wine, they spit. We don't do that here."
That's me reviewing the eligible recipes before things get started.
Leaning into my task, I was especially smitten with a lattice-top peach, but Louise zeroed in on some looming trouble. "Technically, that pie should be disqualified," she whispered. "Why?" I asked. "That is a nonstandard size recipe card attached to the dish." I hesitated, unsure of whether I was supposed to throw some kind of judges' red flag onto the field to signal an infraction. I decided to keep eating and let Louise sound the alarm as needed.
I told my notetaker Sharon that I wanted to taste each of my pies, then go back and assign scores to them. This drew a stern look and eye roll from the lady who carried pies to and from and the judges. Again, Louise leaned into my ear. "One of our most respected pie judges scores them that way, so you should be OK." I silently thanked the anonymous rebel who had paved the way, and judged on.
Beth congratulates a newly minted member of Iowa's pie elite.
Five pies reached the finals, among them the lattice-top peach, in which I now had a rooting interest, for the sake of both the baker and my own credibility. The five judges tasted each finalist, then huddled in the corner to agree on three prize winners and an honorable mention. The consensus winner was a black raspberry masterpiece that turned out to be the entry of Lana Ross, already a pie legend at the fair. The lattice-top peach—my lattice-top peach as far as I was now concerned—took third, illegal recipe card and all.
Validated in my taste and celebrating along with the winner, I watched her approach the table to pick up the leftovers of her pie. As the baker leaned over, Louise beckoned her closer with her finger and whispered, "Ma'am, can I give you some advice about next year? About that nonstandard recipe card…"

well i semi-witnessed an 'incident'.
not sure what really happened and why.
in ohio its a sticky situation to jump in and help unless you know all the details.
911 has been called, i yell for the 'perp' to drop his weapon and he acts confused but non-threatening. hafta assume he is deaf or non-english speaking.
as long as he stood still, left and/or made no further threatening actions i wouldn't shoot him. raise the gun to me he's in trouble.my gun would be at low ready. at this point marked LEO is enroute. i become a witness and potential aid giver to the downed victim assuming i am not putting myself in any excessive danger. otherwise stay put and wait for LE to arrive.
personally, i ain't losing all i werked for by jumping into an unknown situation with lethal force without provocation. ie: him pointing a weapon at me.
i'd feel for the victim but i don't know what or why this happened. could be a homeowner that just shot a burglar and then if i rushed in i just shot a homeowner!
will be curious as to how it really played out.

Contact me via my profile, I'll help you with it.
If you want the final product to be ready for TF keep in mind you're gonna pay much more than if you were to use it for a client website who wants Worpdress as a backend CMS . The reason for this is the flexibility and the heavy use of various jquery scenarios you'll need in a theme. And all such services have a common policy, regarding this. For example, jQuery menu => + $25-50 and so on. I believe it's better to team up with someone. You'll get less money after partner share but in longterm this could be much worthy option. Just my subjective opinion.
You haven't left any contact details and there is no way to PM you perhaps that's the reason.
Such modifications are not hard to do at all, so I believe you could choose any theme you like on TF and just modify the column sizes.

Thanks for the reply, I have contacted them in the past but they do not reply. Very frustrating. I have managed to work it out, but still not 100%. Thanks again
Hi Giancarlo, Can you please contact me via my profile? I don't remember I've got any of your e-mails as we always answer e-mails within 48 hours. Thanks.
Actually, not the category name but the post type name as it's a 99% custom post type. Where to change it depends on theme structure. Note that once you do this, you'll have to re-create the portfolio items or change the name "portfolio" in corresponding places in the database.
Why not doing that in the widget itself? When you create the function widget() you can decide about the output, right? To get an idea, let's think of custom recent posts widget. You create function widget() and you declare there how to show your posts, like in the div or paragraph, etc… so why not adding the before and after output here?
Sorry if the answer is a bit messy, if you need more clarifications, just PM me, I'll try to help.
You've included instructions only for 5 star rating, that's not fair

Thanks alot guys just another questions.. My theme file is 32.4 Mb do i need to buy more memory from wordpress cauz the last time i uploaded that theme it gave me a fatel error and i think it was cauz the theme file was to big…
I think that's the size of the PACKAGE (which also includes documentation, PSD files and any other files that apply) not the theme's core .zip file. core files are <5 MB in 90% of cases.
