Springsteen and Haacker; Jackson and Anthony.
It was all about Angela Jackson (Colonie)
in the opening game. After giving up back-to-back singles in the top of
the first inning, the undefeated right-hander handcuffed Broome's batters.
Now 10-0, Jackson went the distance, throwing her second two-hitter of
the season (she also has tossed a no-hitter and a one-hitter) and helping
Hudson Valley's Lady Vikings to a 4-0 victory. The loss was just the second
of the year for Broome.
Jackson, a sophomore who picked up five strikeouts
in seven innings, also accounted for much of Hudson Valley's offense. In
the second frame, when the Lady Vikings sent seven hitters to the plate,
she ripped a one-out line drive past Broome's left fielder. Two runners
crossed the plate on the hit, which was scored a single, and Jackson reached
third. She then came home on Hannah Bouplon's (Hoosick Falls) slap
single. In the sixth inning, Jackson drove Kiah Narotski (Hoosick Falls)
in with a single to right field.
On the game, Jackson was 2-for-3 with three runs
batted in. Narotski had a single, a double, and scored twice. Catcher Tara
Anthony (Troy) had a leadoff double to start Hudson Valley's big second

Hudson Valley came up short in game two, but
not before giving Broome a scare with a fourth-inning rally. After falling
behind 7-0, the Lady Vikings racked up five hits and five runs in the fourth,
pulling to within two runs.
Hudson Valley's Kim Liney (Newburgh) led
off the frame by reaching on an error. She then went to third on Kiah
Narotski's (Hoosick Falls) one-out single, which was misplayed by Broome's
left fielder. Rachel Richards (Averill Park) knocked Liney home
when Broome's second baseman bobbled her grounder, and Angela Jackson
(Colonie) drove Narotski in with a line-drive single. Hannah Bouplon
(Hoosick Falls) loaded the bases with a bunt single and Dana Halloran
(Catholic Central) followed that up with a two-run double over the
third-base bag. Halloran scored on a wild pitch with Sharee Diechman
(Albany) at the plate.
Diechman, Jackson and Halloran finished with
two hits each.
Hudson Valley Community College, located in Troy,
offers more than 50 degree and certificate programs in four academic divisions;
Business; Engineering and Industrial Technologies; Health Sciences; and
Liberal Arts and Sciences. One of 30 community colleges in the State University

Pacquiao vs Clottey live stream via SopCast
The much anticipated WBO Welterweight title match between pound for pound king Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao versus Joshua 'The Grand Master' Clottey will be witnessed live on Saturday, March 13, 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium, in Arlington, Texas. The boxing match dubbed as 'The Event' will definitely put the whole world into a halt as two great fighters battle each other out for boxing supremacy. The Pacquiao vs Clottey fight will be a sensational one as the Philippines' pride Manny Pacquiao meets his challenger Joshua Clottey, a Welterweight boxer who hails from Accra, Ghana in a 12-round match on Saturday night.
Who do you think will bring home the WBO Welterweight title? Will Manny Pacquiao's super-fast and concussive punches bring the down Joshua Clottey? Or will the pride of Ghana, Joshua Clottey, who has a height and built advantage take down the pound for pound king of the decade? According to boxing analysts, Joshua Clottey has been fighting in the 140 weight division ever since he turned pro, during Pacquiao's reigning years as a flyweight champion, Clottey was already in the welterweight. Manny Pacquiao, on the other hand will dominate the fight with his speed and movement, bringing in multiple punches in various angles which will come as a surprise for Clottey himself. Based on their experience as boxers, Manny Pacquaio already has already 50 wins, in which 38 of those wins are KO's. While Joshua Clottey has only 35 wins and 20 of those were knockouts. As predicted Manny Pacquiao will defeat Clottey via technical knockout.

A diversion from the beach
The Fishing Village on Perhentian Kecil is not exactly the 'cultural experience' that one might expect, but for those looking for an insight into how the non-tourist part of the island works, it may be worth a visit.
Over the years the village has grown considerably in size and at the time of our visit in April 2014, a new village to accommodate the growing population was being carved out of the forest on the north side of the new mosque on Perhentian Kecil. The existing village (to the south of the mosque) is a typical Malaysian fishing village (if far more affluent than your average fishing village) with a large pier, school, mosque and warungs. The food in the few restaurants here is marginally cheaper than what you'll get on the main beaches, but not to the point that it's worth getting a boat here to save money!
You're welcome to walk around whatever parts of the village you want to, but please remember you're peering into people's personal lives and homes. It goes without saying that you should always ask before taking a photo and conservative clothing would be appreciated -- don't go strolling through in your speedos. There is a small beach at the southern end of the village, but it isn't a scratch on the other beaches of the island.
From the village a trail runs to the south around to Petani beach (and eventually Coral beach) and to the north to Long beach. See our trekking on the Perhentians section for more details.
There is no village of any size on Perhentian Besar. Those who work on Besar commute from the village on Kecil (unless they're living in staff housing, of course).

Volunteer teaches yoga to Pakistani female prison inmates
By Sahar Ahmed
KARACHI (Reuters) - Behind the high walls and gates of the only prison for women in Pakistan's commercial hub, inmates such as Sadaf escape from prison every day -- even if it's only in her mind.
Small and thin, with friendly eyes set in a weathered face, Sadaf has been an inmate since 1998 after being convicted of kidnapping. But she says she's much calmer and hopeful thanks to an innovative yoga program for the prison's inhabitants.
"Though my surroundings haven't changed, my life has and I have yoga to be thankful for," she said in an interview with Reuters in the prison courtyard.
Sadaf, along with other inmates, has been taking yoga classes from volunteer instructor Aisha Chapra for almost a year and a half as a way to cope with the rough life of prison.
Pakistan's prisons have a reputation as brutal holding pens, but wardens and jail administrators praise the program for calming the inmates and preparing them for eventual release.
"I have seen a great change in the girls since they started doing yoga," said Sheeba Shah, a police official and administrator of the prison. "They have become less stressful and you can see a more positive attitude."
Chapra partly took her inspiration from the Bhopal Central Jail in India, which holds some of India's most notorious convicts. Since yoga classes have started there, incidents of violence have dropped and inmates report a greater control over anger.
The Indian government gives prisoners an incentive to do yoga: for every three months they remain in the program, their jail sentences are reduced by 15 days. Continued...

Microsoft has launched the Bing Fund to invest in early-stage startups, and will offer advice, design, and development help.
Headed by Rahul Sood, VooDooPC founder, formerly over Microsoft's Xbox area, the Bing Fund will be an Angel Incubator based in Bellevue. The portfolio "includes startups working on the web, desktop, mobile and console," says Sood in the announcement.
Funded companies don't have to use Bing or even Microsoft products, although the fund would love to see tools like Windows Azure used as a supporting platform. It also helps if a company applying to the fund "already has momentum" as well as a working prototype and a solid business plan.

Get Out of Town: Can Inglewood Stay Black and Middle Class? | KCET
Get Out of Town: Can Inglewood Stay Black and Middle Class?
This past weekend, I ran into my neighbors moving out. They're a small family of three--mom, dad, daughter--not newlyweds, but still on the young side. They moved in roughly the same time I did, 2004, at a time when the still-feverish housing market had fairly recently turned blue-collar cities like Inglewood into communities with half-million dollar homes. That's no longer the case. It probably won't ever be again.
The sight of my neighbor's pickup truck backing out of the driveway, its bed loaded with a dozen or so oversized trash bags full of stuff and tied neatly at the top, took some of my breath away with a sharp, sudden feeling of diminishment. The neighborhood was losing a family, but something much bigger than that.
Story continues below
I wasn't surprised, but I had been in denial about the inevitability of the move. The "For Sale" sign had been on the lawn since summer. It had appeared rather suddenly, too, or it seemed sudden to me; Michael, the father, and I chatted regularly over the years and he had never hinted that he was going to sell or that he needed to move. When I asked him about the sign, he only nodded and said philosophically that "it was time to leave." He was pointedly vague about the reasons why it was time, and I didn't probe. Our conversations up to that point had all been casual and upbeat--how are the dogs, how's work--and the matter of the house was likely too personal for him to delineate.
But I still felt shut out.
We had formed a kind of intimacy as neighbors and fellow residents living in a place that needed us and our clear stake in keeping things stable and prosperous, and not just in terms of money. The bond was superficial in one way, but deep in another: It was a covenant, an understanding amongst black folks that we were responsible for keeping things good in the one of the last 'hoods left in L.A. County that could claim to be predominantly black and nominally middle-class. Unlike enclaves like Ladera Heights or West Adams or even Crenshaw, Inglewood is its own civic entity that determines its own fate, year in and year out. We don't have a larger context or a buffer of a bigger city like Los Angeles; if we fail, we fully absorb that failure. If we lose a good citizen, he or she is not quickly replaced, especially in these sluggish economic times. We were never a new boomtown or point of gentrification, and now that folks are leaving Inglewood has only the struggle of isolation that the housing frenzy had temporarily masked.
Michael paused in the driveway, put the truck in neutral. "Yes, I'm leaving today," he said cheerfully in response to my question. "Sold the house. We've got forty-eight hours."
I caught my breath again--what did that deadline mean, or portend? Was he and his family being thrown out, had he lost work and not said, lost a hold of things? But the house had been sold, not foreclosed on, as far as I could tell. I longed to know more, know him more, but it was too late; I only nodded back and smiled. This was also part of our ancient covenant as black folks, keeping our chins up, defying the existence of trouble, rolling with the punches and finding better luck elsewhere. But where could Michael go that was luckier than this, more welcoming? Would he and his family survive, let alone prosper?
"Okay," I said. "Take care. I'll miss seeing you."

1. The assumption in an Egypt court is that defendants are guilty, why else are they in the court? Makes sense.
2. Defendants are placed in iron cages during the trial to prevent them from hurting themselves.
3. There is no jury, just a group of dedicated men who seek the truth.
4. In order to avoid confusion, the prosecution does not respond to anything said by the defense attorney. Yes, there is such a person.
5. In this trial, the prosecution worked diligently to present films of children playing, and horses rambling around in a meadow. This was designed to provide all in the court nice scenes of pleasure and happiness.
6. I realize that in other societies, a court is supposed to present -evidence. This makes no sense to Egyptian prosecutors, evidence will only confuse issues, why not keep everything clear and to the point.
7. Ah, you want to know the "point."
8. The point is to find the defendants –guilty!

/// Yahoo's Bid for Hulu in $600M to $800M Range — Even as It Preps Other Big Deals in Mobile and Communications
According to numerous sources close to the situation, Yahoo has bid from $600 million to $800 million for the premium video site Hulu. The reason for the wide range is due to the fact that the Silicon Valley Internet giant — similar to most bidders in the new effort to acquire Hulu — has proposed several different prices based on a variety of circumstances. That includes the length of the licensing rights for content and how much control the programming companies selling Hulu have over their media. At the same time and separately, according to sources inside the company, Yahoo is also contemplating at least two other significant purchases — in the $150 million to $200 million range — each for a mobile and a communications company. It's certainly an ambitious and busy M&A agenda for Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer, who just forked over $1.1 billion in cash to purchase youth-skewing blogging site Tumblr last week. Presumably, she is interested in upping Yahoo's longtime lackluster video efforts — it famously lost out at the last minute on the acquisition of YouTube many years ago to Google — as the arena becomes more critical to advertisers. But, said sources, while allowing the bid to proceed, Mayer is more focused on the integration of Tumblr, as well other acquisitions that will bolster other key product areas

Fellow beer blogger, Josh from Lost in the Beer Aisle, recently reviewed Founders' Kentucky Breakfast Stout. Before he got to the actual review, he gave a little rant on rare beers. I commented on his post, but figured I should probably write it a bit better and go deeper into my thoughts. So here I am wondering if rare beers are actually good for the craft beer industry or could they cause problems for the industry. I may not actually answer the question. I'm more thinking out loud and looking to start a discussion. Continue reading Are Rare/Hyped Beers Good for Craft Beer?

Great International Beer Fest – A Review
I finally made it to my first real beer festival (though I suppose it'd be the second after Julio's Springfest, which was free and had limited sampling). I finally had a GIBF I could attend without something else coming up and getting in the way. I only attended the first session. We started our day later than we had planned, but had a good sized breakfast and then headed downtown. We got in line right around 11:45 and met up with a couple friends in line. Because we were there over an hour before the start, we spent a lot of time sitting there, but it was worth it. There were a ton of people buying tickets at the ticket booth before getting in line. I had my tickets waiting at the will call booth, which had no line. Within the next half hour after arriving, the line filled up pretty quickly. Being near the front, we were able to avoid lines at several tables after they let us in, but that didn't last long.
The beer fest is setup kind of odd with breweries and other vendors mixed in with each other. I would have preferred to have seen all the breweries together and the random other vendors in their own section. I'll go into the other vendors after I get through the beer.
To make the beer a bit easier, here's the breweries we hit and what we drank (in no particular order, and I'm sure I've forgotten some).
- Trinity Brewhouse – Imperial Brown Ale, Scotch Ale
- Blackstone Valley Brewing Supplies (a homebrew shop serving homebrews) – Barrel Aged Scottish Ale (cask), Porter (cask), ESB (cask), Irish Stout, English IPA, Altbier
- St. John's Brewers – Virgin Islands Mango Pale Ale
- Gardner Ale House – Oktoberfest, Chocolate Porter
- Milly's Tavern – Porter, Pumpkin Ale
- Woodchuck – Oak Aged Cider, Dark and Dry Cider
- Harpoon – 100 Barrel Series Rauchfetzen
- Saranac – Imperial Stout, Imperial IPA, Root Beer (non-alcoholic)
- Paper City – Batch 108 Coffee Stout, Cabot Street Wheat
- Watch City – Beejesus BPA, Bombed Blondeshelle Tripel, Kingpin Imperial Stout
- Brooklyn Brewery – Local 1, Black Chocolate Stout
- Newport Storm – Rum Barrel Oktoberfest
- Offshore Ales – Nutbrown Ale, Hop Goddess
- Pennichuck – The Big O Oktoberfest, Wassail Lager (cask)
- Woodstock Inn & Brewery – Autumn Brew, Pemi Pale Ale
- Shipyard – Barleywine
- Olde Burnside – Ten Penny Ale, Dirty Penny Ale
- Otter Creek – Wolavers IPA, Winter Ale
- Haverhill Brewery – HaverAle, Eve's Apple Ale
- Rapscallion – Blessing, Honey
- Sierra Nevada – Anniversary Ale
- Spaten – Optimator
- Berkshire Brewing – Cabin Fever
- B&C Liquors (a store I believe) – Belhaven Scottish Ale
Most of those beers represent beers I have never tried. My goal was to drink lots of beer that I've never had before (or can't get). I accomplished that, though I did have some beers I've had in the past. The standout breweries were Watch City, Paper City, Gardner Ale House, and, even though it's technically not a brewery, Blackstone Valley. My favorite beers of the night were Cabin Fever, Gardner's Chocolate Porter, everything I tried from Watch City, Shipyard's Barleywine, and pretty much everything from Blackstone Valley. Of course, I passed on some favorites while going booth to booth, but I was trying to avoid getting too drunk (and in that case, I was successful as I was not drunk). The only brewery I had wanted to hit, but missed because we never walked by them in our 3.5 hours there, was Buzzard's Bay. I'll have to plan a brewery trip some weekend.
In the course of the afternoon, we stopped by some other booths. The Cabot Creamery booth was a nice break from beer and I love their cheese. A company called Gerb's Pumpkin Seeds had some good pumpkin seeds (I liked the roasted red pepper ones). We got some food from Jersey Mike's and Pizza Pie-er with a donation to the RI Food Bank (or something like that). And we spent a lot of time (and money) at the Yankee Brew News table, mainly because we knew the people there (and bought 2 shirts a piece).
What I didn't like… intermingled with the beer tables were Skoal, Gina's Cigars, Port-o-pong (beer pong stuff), some random beer-related tshirt booths, the food I mentioned before, Capitol Billiards, HJY radio, and a basement finishing company (that was the only real oddball). While I can understand having some of these places there (especially the food), I feel like they should have been place elsewhere in their own area. Keep all the breweries together, put all the beer-related stuff nearby (Ale Street News and Yankee Brew News, for example), but put everything else somewhere else. It was a distraction from the beer, which is what this show should have been about.
I also didn't like the fact that there was a lot of empty space. This could be a real first class beer event in our little state. There was a row of port-o-johns on one wall, but no beer tables facing them even though there was a ton of space. There were also some rows of booths that could have been extended. This could have been done if more breweries were present. I was disappointed that Mayflower Brewing wasn't present, even though they were listed on the website. The other disappointment is that breweries can enter their beers in the competition without actually being present at the show. It would have been nice to try the beers that were announced as winners, but some of them weren't there. There were also a lot of "macros" present… Coors, Miller, Corona, Presidente, Diageo (Guinness)… and they all had some crazy games, causing the frat-ish boys to all yell, causing everyone else to yell. That was a bit obnoxious. Finally, the lines were all 20-30 people deep at the height of the show. More breweries means shorter lines. Shorter lines means easier access to the beer.
Overall, I enjoyed myself. I got to try a lot of beer that I wouldn't normally be able to try. I was able to try a bunch of beer that I will likely now look for in my local liquor stores. Finally, I got to hang out with a bunch of friends and chat beer with the reps and brewers. It was a fun day, though we were exhausted and felt like it was much later when we got home. Next year, I'm going to see if I can be a judge. It'll require me taking a day off from work, but I'd get into the fest for free and take a more active part in the beer world.

Various December happenings…
- At December 05, 2012
- By ruthdev
- In Uncategorized
- 1
We are enjoying turning our attention to Christmas here at our house! Our aim is to focus on the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and what this means for us, and we therefore avoid most of the commercialism of Christmas – we don't exchange gifts, and I steer clear of Santa. However, I do want to make sure Christmas doesn't sneak up on us without due forethought, so I love the idea of an advent of sorts.Last year we read "The Jesse Tree" in the lead up to Christmas. This year we are focussing on a short Bible passage each day. We read it at dinnertime, talk about it with the children, and then hang up a printout of it so that we can be reminded and easily re-read them.
It's nothing fancy, but the children have been very eager to read each day's passage. (I've included a PDF of the verses we chose if you wish to use them. Just click here: Advent verses.
On another note, my artwork has been blessed with an appearance in Textile Fibre Forum. Thank you, Janet!Also, "To the Third and Fourth Generation" is going to be on display at the Wesley Church in Perth as part of "A Child is Born". (Open 8th December to 16th December, 9am to 5pm).
I also have some eucalyptus-themed have work appearing in Bunbury Regional Art Galleries' Christmas Shop over the summer too.

Warning that victorious House Republicans may be conducting an investigation of the actual birthplace of President Obama, MSNBC's Ed Schultz called a possible GOP victory a "rebirth of the birthers."
"There is nothing good about losing the House," Schultz remarked Nov 1, on his Monday evening MSNBC show. "[House Republicans] may even be launching an investigation into the President's birthplace. It will be a rebirth of the 'birthers,'" he warned.
Schultz even went as far as to think the Republicans might try to impeach President Obama. "I think these radicals plan to impeach the President," he spat.
The House GOP will be all "about power and not governing," if they hold the majority, Schultz complained, ranting that "Michelle Bachmann wants to subpoena the entire administration."
A transcript of the segment, which aired on November 2 at 6:18 p.m. EDT, is as follows:
ED SCHULTZ: Well there is nothing good about losing the House. This is, as I've said all along on this program, about power and not governing if this is what happens. House Republicans are promising, what, subpoenas? They may even be launching an investigation into the President's birthplace. It will be a rebirth of the "birthers," I think. And I think they might go so far as to impeach President Obama. This is who they are.
I want to know why people keep saying that a Republican tidal wave of the House is a good thing. Michelle Bachmann wants to subpoena the entire administration. I think these radicals plan to impeach the President.

I recently got this in a gun deal and have no use for it so I am posting it here.
This is a stainless Interarms/Walther (not a Smith & Wesson) PPK/S .380. It comes with two mags box and paperwork.
I got it for a good price so I am passing it on. I am asking $440.00 or cash and trade for something I can use. The gun is in fantastic shape and the round count is less than 100 rounds. This would make a great little back up or primary carry gun.

Repairing multistage, segmental diffuser, boiler feed pumps and maintaining the original performance can be difficult and challenging. In this case study, a comprehensive inspection and repair program was applied to rebuilding six boiler feed pumps to improve MTBR and hydraulic performance to meet system demands.
The pumps sent for rebuilding played an important role in maintaining plant performance for one of the six largest wastewater treatment plants in the United States, located in northeastern New Jersey. The plant, operated by the Passaic Valley Sewerage Commissioners (PVSC), uses the boiler feed pumps in a wet air oxidation (WAO) process.
The WAO process treats combined thickened waste activated sludge and primary sludge with heat (420 deg F) and high pressure (650 psi) for 30 minutes in a reactor to reduce the volatile solids content, break the chemical bond between the solids and the water, facilitate a high degree of dewaterability, sterilize the sludge and minimize the volume to be removed for beneficial reuse.
Insert picture #2: Facility's boiler house
The boiler feed pumps at this waste treatment facility gradually experienced reduced performance, and the plant needed to run two pumps in parallel to meet the daily requirements. Plant operations and engineering needed a solution where only one pump was needed to meet production needs. Not only would this setup be more efficient, but it would also allow the second pump to act as an emergency backup. These pumps went through a number of repair facilities, and each time the pump was returned to PVSC and put back into service, minimal, if any, performance improvement was noticed.
Pumps were returned for warranty but PVSC was told that the "pumps were perfect," so the system must be at fault. PVSC incurred downtime, the expense of repairs and the costs incurred by frequently removing and replacing boiler feed pumps.
PVSC was confronted with the possibility of completely scrapping its system. It changed valves and checked piping, pump alignments, etc. but could not find a system problem. These repair shops were not aware of this type of pump's sensitivity and the consequent difficulty involved in performing a sustainable, long term repair.
Benefits of a Comprehensive Inspection
PVSC approached another pump repair shop with the requirement of improving MTBR and restoring hydraulic performance to meet system demand. Unlike the other service centers, this service center invested considerable time and effort in performing a comprehensive inspection of all components that are critical to the operation of multistage segmental diffuser pumps, including:
- Hydraulic review of impeller and diffuser components for optimizing efficiency, improving hydraulic stability and achieving desired performance.
- Material compatibility review with the pumpage for corrosion and erosion reduction, which is especially important in the high velocity areas of the impellers, diffusers and balance drum.
- Review pump rotor to stationary dimensional alignment to maintain hydraulic stability and prevent hydraulic-induced vibration. For this type of pump, rotor centralization of the impeller to the diffuser is important as it is 10 stages.
- Review of rotor mechanical dimensional fits to prevent assembled looseness and reduce vibration.
Review of diffuser dimensional integrity for leakage problems with the stacked diffusers.
Inspection Report: Findings and Corrections
The pump turned freely when it was received. While dismantling the pump's thrust end, the service center found a portion of the bearing cage in the housing. The thrust bearings mounted on the shaft were intact; therefore, this piece of cage was from a previous failure. On one pump, the back to back thrust bearings were installed incorrectly, which resulted in a short run to failure. All bearings were installed correctly with the proper clearances and tolerances as recommended by the bearing manufacturer.
Insert Picture # 4: Bearing cage from a previous repair
The running clearance at the eye side of the impellers was 10 to 30 percent over design and 70 to 90 percent over on the inter-stage sleeves to the diffuser bushings. The balance drum to liner clearance was 25 percent over design. These over tolerance dimensions contributed to a significant performance reduction causing two pumps to be run instead of just one, increasing the power consumption to maintain system performance. Wear ring clearances were brought back to acceptable tolerances typical of the application and materials.
Dimensionally, the shaft was out of tolerance. Both bearing fits were undersized, and several of the impeller and sleeve fits were fretted. The first stage impeller keyway was deformed. The run out inspection found a 0.008 in TIR as a simple bow. The pump shaft was replaced and the tolerances between the impeller bores and pump shaft was tightened up to current repair practices.

Publication Acceptance Date: 4/1/1998
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Although insecticides have been used for decades against subterranean termites, very little is known about their detoxication enzyme systems. However, recent introduction of the Formosan subterranean termite into the United States, EPA withdrawal of organochlorine termiticides and growing public concern have contributed to an urgent interest in understanding subterranean termite biology more thoroughly. We characterized microsomal oxidases in Reticulitermes virginicus workers and soldiers collected from seven locations in Florida and Alabama. Aldrin epoxidase activity required the cofactor NADPH, and was inhibited by carbon monoxide and piperonyl butoxide, a well-known cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor. These data indicate that aldrin epoxidation was catalyzed by a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. Aldrin epoxidase activity was highest at 22o C and pH 7.2. Also, the activity was linear up to 0.5 mg protein per incubate and increased with reaction time up to 15 minutes. Inhibition of aldrin epoxidase activity occurred above 22o C indicating temperature sensitivity. While increased incubation temperature above 22oC resulted in decreased aldrin epoxidase activity, similar heat treatments did not result in a concomitant increase in cytochrome P420 (degraded cytochrome P450). Surprisingly, significant variation (3.7-fold) in aldrin epoxidase activity was observed among the seven Reticulitermes virginicus colonies collected from sites in Florida and Alabama. Whether these differences represent inherent variation among this species, stage-dependent or other developmental effects, or a direct response to environmental factors (i.e. enzyme induction) is not known.

In a youth talent reality show in Thailand, there was enormous excitement when 23 years old Duangjai Jansaunoi painted with her bare breasts. Duangjai told judges that she preferred to put the extra something into the painting as painting with her hands would be too ordinary.
However, there were protests especially from the government representatives in Thailand who felt that talent should draw the line somewhere. The female judge on the reality show in Thailand also was opposed to breast painting techniques, unique though it might have been.

Japanese Book Project
Japanese Book Project
I am interested in both British and non-British folklore traditions. During my final year at university I chose to illustrate three Japanese fairy tales aimed at Western children, inspired by having studied the language at school and having been to Japan twice. My aim was to use illustration as a vehicle for communication in order to make culturally specific stories more accessible to a wider audience.
I had the three stories printed as finished books for my degree show. The stories were 'The White Hare and The Crocodiles', 'The Grateful Statues' and 'Mr. Lucky Straw'. All artwork was created using watercolour and gouache.

Lib Tech: Brando By Lando 162
Fir of all thanks for all the useful tips and information.
I have been browsing this site for a short time and read a lot with eager.
About me: I am an intermediate rider. 6´1 (186 cm) 187 lbs (85-87 kg)
I have been riding my Burton Cruxer 54W Retal on and off the last years.
I bought it some years ago when I was shorter and weighted less.
I really never liked it, it is hard to maneuver it wobbles when I pick up speed, its too short and soft for my liking and nervous when turning/carving.
I am now looking for a board that will invite me for some fast runs in prepped/groomed slopes and which isn't afraid of some grease when I take it through the woods and the pow. I want a stable board for high speed, easy too maneuver and carve and which I don't get exhausted riding.
I fell in love with Lib Tech: Brando by Lando 162
Is this the board I am looking for, based on my specifications, or would you recommend me another board/boards?
Thank you for any help you can provide - I am so confused
-Cheers from Norway

OVER THE MOUNTAINS: An Aerial View of Geology. Michael Collier. Mikaya Press, $29.95.
"You could spend a lifetime hiking and exploring," says Michael Collier, "and only just begin to understand how mountains fit into the rest of the world." Fortunately for Collier, he can fly. In Over the Mountains, the benefits of having a pilot's license become clear, as Collier provides dozens of photographs taken from his Cessna (such as that of Alaska's Johns Hopkins Glacier, right) to complement his discussions of the geological processes that have shaped the peaks of North America.
Collier explains clearly how erosion, uplift and other such forces have created the skyline of the natural world. He points out that the Appalachians once stood much higher than they do today but have been worn down over millions of years. California's Mount Whitney, part of the younger Sierra Nevada range, is currently the highest point in the Lower 48, but Collier remarks that this, too, is temporary. As with flying, taking the long view chronologically gives him an unusual perspective and "a sense of wonder." Even from the ground, Over the Mountains makes it easy to understand his enthusiasm.—Amos Esty
HAM RADIO'S TECHNICAL CULTURE. Kristen Haring. The MIT Press, $27.95.
Since the earliest days of radio, amateur operators ("hams") have worked the airwaves for no other purpose than the pleasure it brings them, over the years developing a culture that is mostly male, geeky, apolitical, open and altruistic. In Ham Radio's Technical Culture, historian of science Kristen Haring examines the roots of these qualities.
She says, for example, that the culture of helping out one's fellow citizens was intimately linked to the public-relations value of such activities. American hams were forbidden to operate their rigs at all during the Second World War, and afterward they were viewed with suspicion, as if anyone with a radio transmitter hidden in the garage just had to be a foreign spy. To dispel the notion that their occasional chats with their counterparts behind the iron curtain indicated disloyalty, some American amateurs threw themselves into the civilian defense effort. Who better to provide rudimentary communications after a thermonuclear exchange than your friendly neighborhood ham? Providing assistance during natural disasters was a natural extension.
Haring also points out that the fundamental activity of these hobbyists—idle chatter—was something stereotypically associated with women, making this largely male group very self-conscious about the implications of neglecting their girlfriends and wives in favor of connecting with other men. Would outsiders view them as homosexuals? One ham (W8IJV, above, right) clearly saw the humor in the situation, as evidenced by the preprinted cards he sent out to his radio contacts.
Haring's prose is dry, scholarly and full of repetition. A few troubling errors on technical matters (for example, a botched explanation of why some audiophiles still prefer tubes to transistors) make one wonder how much understanding of radio and electronics she has. And despite covering many angles well, she overlooks an essential motivation for taking up such hobbies—a thirst for knowledge about how the world works and a taste for things that are technically sweet.—David Schneider
MIDDLE WORLD: The Restless Heart of Matter and Life. Mark Haw. Macmillan, $24.95.Middle World, a zippy account of the past 200 years of science, takes as its theme the growing understanding of Brownian motion, that unending dance of microscopic particles. The "middle world" of the book's title refers to the realm of "middle-sized" objects such as pollen particles, DNA, proteins and viruses—things small enough to dance in water. Author Mark Haw is a materials scientist who studies the behavior of matter at this "mesoscopic" scale, which he defines as ranging from a hundredth to a thousandth of a millimeter.
Haw begins his account with the story of Robert Brown, the Scot who first described the nonstop jiggling of tiny particles in water (his tests included pollen, soot, dust from the Egyptian Sphinx and scrapings from his teeth). Exactly why tiny things cannot keep still was a question that initially stumped 19th-century scientists, but finding the answer helped prove the atomic theory of matter. The mesoscopic scale is fashionable again today, given the interest of biologists and nanotechnologists in the workings of cells filled with middle-world objects.
Haw writes in a fast-paced, witty, staccato style, studding his account with vignettes of the great minds who, in the span of a few decades, flung science into the modern era. He does a particularly good job of helping readers swallow great chunks of chemistry and physics without the mental indigestion that usually goes along with such a feast.—Chris Brodie

Thought I'd get going in the IP club so that I felt pressure to actually complete some animation. Webcomics have taken up the last 3-4 years of my "hobby" time and I want a break from that. I'll be tackling this in Flash, which I used to animate webisodes in the early 2000s in a very different style than what I'll be using here.
'Blood Runs Dry' is a short horror/drama film (~10-12 minutes) about two black men in the South in the 1940s. One is the aimless son of a former abolitionist, drifting through town. The other is an impoverished sharecropper at wits end. While hunting for rabbit the sharecropper is hypnotized by a demonic force which consumes him (not a full possession) through his anger and marks him in a way only the other force will be able to see. The other man, while saving a life, is exposed to a calming force instead and lets go of what anger he had. They're drawn beyond explanation towards each other for a confrontation. Very little action, although there is gore in it and weirdness.
Early testing of various styles and proportions
First what I'm going for is akin to this:

E=MC2 the right formula for diversity awareness, tolerance
Author: Tammy L. Lane • First Posted: Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Students in E=MC2 (Equality equals Multi-Cultural Collaboration) are stepping up to ensure their peers are more aware and more tolerant of the diversity in Fayette County Public Schools. Whether race, gender, socio-economic status, sexual orientation or whatever other factors supposedly divide people, these high schoolers have come together to talk about the sometimes sensitive issues, build bridges and make new friends.
"I learned a lot of this in psychology class, but it's different to have a discussion with a diverse group," said Haleigh Whitlock, a sophomore at Lafayette High School. "If you're not consciously trying to change it, it won't happen," she added.
About two dozen teenagers met at Lafayette one recent Saturday for team-building exercises and small-group activities. Upperclassmen who participated the previous two years took the lead as the participants defined "prejudice" and set some ground rules, such as respecting one another's opinions and feelings.
"This is designed to teach sophomores to identify and overcome prejudices and discrimination in their own lives and around them," said Aaron Karp, a senior at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. "Sophomores are still young enough that we can make an impression, and they can go on to make a difference in their junior and senior years."
On the lawn, the teens stretched out in a horizontal line and held hands as a series of questions prompted them to take one step forward or one step back – questions such as did you have more than 50 books in your house while growing up, did you ever skip a meal because there was no food, was one of your parents ever laid off from work, did you attend summer enrichment camps, did your family call you capable and smart, and were you ever treated less fairly because of a personal trait.
"You really get to see just where people are in life, and it gets you thinking," Lafayette junior Marcel Oyuela-Bonzani said after the activity. "You can't judge based on appearances. Inside, people may have had completely different circumstances."
In another scenario, the students literally had labels on their backs – labels like "homeless" or "Goth," an ethnic group or a disability – and they volleyed questions to figure out how others perceived them. In a breakout after lunch, the teens shared memories of a time when they were ridiculed or harassed, and pondered whether words alone are hurtful even without malicious intent, as with the phrase "That's so gay!"
"There are a lot of 'isms' in the world," said Julia McCorvey, a senior at Henry Clay High School. "When you keep it in your head, it's a stereotype. When you act on it – when you play it out in real life – it's discrimination."
The districtwide E=MC2 is based at Lafayette, where science teacher Zach Matson serves as club adviser. He reached out to colleagues in each high school to recommend tenth-graders for the April 27 gathering; upperclassmen also invited friends connected through other school organizations. In the coming weeks, the students will meet again for a community service project, likely at The Arboretum. Participants will get an E=MC2 T-shirt and an as-yet-undecided book to take home. One year the selection was "Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?"
"We encourage each person to bring at least two people outside their normal friend group," Aaron said of the work day. "It's a good way to get us all involved and acquainted with new people. We work all day pulling weeds or whatever they need us to do, and then have lunch together."
Matson has been on board since the beginning of E=MC2. During the summer of 2010, the Bezos Family Foundation sponsored a trip to the Aspen Ideas Festival for Jonathan Karp, a Lafayette graduate currently studying at Washington University in St. Louis. Matson went along as a "scholar educator." Afterward, Jonathan and his mentor organized a local ideas festival in an effort to improve communication and break down barriers among students.
"When you see how these kids open up, it's surprising how willing they are to share. There's a need for it," Matson said.
E=MC2 is now in its third spring, with Jonathan's brother Aaron at the helm.
"When I look at my group of friends, it's sadly not diverse and that's really a shame. Stereotypes and prejudices are drilled into us at an early age," Aaron said. "My personal goal is to expand my circle of friends and encourage others to include people of different cultures and attributes in their own social groups."

A surprise from Santa brings a brother home
"Our brother is in the army," says Alexus Irvin-Sprague.
And the only thing she wanted was for Joshua Irvin to come home. Little did they know their big brother was right around the corner.
"I love him a lot and it means a lot that he's home. I'm really close to him so it's really cool," she continues.
No one knew as they stood in the Champaign Mall, including Grandma Sharon. She was preparing herself for the first Christmas without her oldest grandson.
She says, "I can't, I can't explain how happy I am. It's fantastic."
Irvin flew into Texas and his mom, Anita, drove more than 10 hours to pick him up, a long trip that was more than worth it.
Anita explains, "As a mom, as a single mom raising him all I've ever wanted was for him to live his dream and be successful and he's doing that."
Irvin's sisters seemed like they were still in shock. They just kept looking at their brother, who they say is their hero.
"It almost made me want to tear up,"
Irvin can only stay in the U.S. for 14 days. After that it's back to Germany. He'll deploy not long after.
"Just the fact of having him home now before he leaves are memories that I'm going to cherish because when he leaves, we don't know when the next time is we're going to see him."
The only thing missing was snow to make this holiday complete, but the mall made it an early white Christmas for this family.
"It's not about shopping or the gifts. It's about being with the ones you love."
"That is the best gift."
It didn't end there. After surprising his sisters, Jason went and saw his little brother for the first time in months.

That 'special circle of hell' that you speak of is news to me. I've never
heard of it; I know that perl has its detractors, but for every detractor, there's
a fervent supporter on communities like slashdot (http://www.slashdot.org) and
digg (http://www.digg.org).
As for an impression of mathematica users, I've never seen one (positive or negative).
Mathematica seems to be off this particular map.
As for weak typing, its not necessarily a bad thing - its a damn *productive* thing
in the case of perl. That being said, optional, strong(er) typing wouldn't be that
bad an item to have. Perl6 is adding this, but its a long, slow slog; perl6 isn't expected
to be out for a couple of years, at the minimum.

On this week's Super Haters podcast, Nick Marino (c'est moi!) and creator extraordinaire Andrew Kilian go off-topic to debate The Godfather, share mutual love for The Legend of Korra, and trade philosophical views.
Completely unrelated to this podcast… THE HATERS NEED YOUR VOTE!
After the end theme (which happens somewhere in the middle of the episode), we talk about Mind's Eye for a bit, discussing her background and costume. And we chat about the inspiration for RALF.
But then we start bullshitting about other stuff again.

Would you travel all the way to China to visit the Beijing Museum of Tap Water, or take a break from touring Egyptian pyramids to catch the highlights of Cairo's scenic Garbage City neighborhood?
These are just two of the don't-see sights in the new book 101 Places Not to See Before You Die by Catherine Price. This "anti-bucket" list — a response to the recent bestseller "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" — offers a tongue-in-cheek look at some of the world's truly unappealing attractions.
While it's not hard to see why a Latvian prison hotel or Montana's annual Testicle Festival made it into the book, the list is not without controversy. Price turns up her nose at many popular tourist attractions, including Stonehenge, Mount Rushmore and the Blarney Stone — which is oh-so-hygienically smooched by some 400,000 visitors a year. And there's bad news for our readers in Nevada: Price has consigned the entire state to her "do not visit" list. (Feel free to defend the many wonders of Nevada in the comments below!)
What places would you recommend that other travelers avoid?

James DePreist, Barrier-Breaking American Conductor, Dies at 76
James DePreist, one of the first African-American conductors to have a major career, despite two significant physical ailments, died Friday in Scottsdale, AZ.
He was 76 and died of complications stemming from a heart attack he suffered last spring, according to his manager.
A tall, commanding, and genial gray-bearded presence, DePreist was known as a prolific recording artist, an exceptionally reliable guest conductor and later, a well-liked teacher at the Juilliard School. He traveled widely despite having to conduct from a specially engineered motorized chair, due to a youthful contact with polio.
In 1999, he revealed he was suffering from kidney disease, but would continue his work despite the need for dialysis.
Nephew to the late contralto Marian Anderson, DePreist came late to music. He originally planned to be a lawyer and graduated with a B.S. from the Wharton School of Economics. But in his mid 20s, music caught his interest and he studied composition with Vincent Persichetti at the Philadelphia Conservatory. One of his big breaks came when the State Department hired him as "a music specialist" to go to the Far East. While in Bangkok, Thailand he contracted polio.
Despite this physical setback, which forced him to walk with leg braces and crutches, he continued to pursue conducting; in 1964, he took first prize in the Dimitri Mitropoulos International Conducting competition in Athens.
Around this same time, DePreist had come to know Leonard Bernstein through his aunt. Bernstein encouraged DePreist and eventually hired him as an assistant conductor of the New York Philharmonic for the 1965-66 season. DePreist then moved to Europe in 1967 where he made his European debut conducting the Rotterdam Philharmonic.
DePreist said the decision to move to Europe was not based on race but rather on the fact that this was a common step for American conductors looking to jump-start their careers. "Barriers were not anything I really thought of both because of my religious faith and the example of Aunt Marian," he said in a 1998 interview in the Los Angeles Times,. "The barriers were real. But in our family, we never thought of any barrier as being significant if we were determined and prepared. It was just a temporary obstacle."
After working in most of the major European capitals, DePreist landed a job as associate conductor of the National Symphony Orchestra in 1971. In his first year, he conducted at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. – the same hall at which his aunt had been barred from appearing in 1939.
DePreist was music director of the Oregon Symphony from 1980 to 2003, building it into one of America's more adventurous orchestras. His more than 50 recordings spanned the symphonies of Mahler, Sibelius and Shostakovich to many corners of the modern repertoire. He received numerous awards throughout his career including a National Medal of Arts in 2005. He also published two volumes of poetry through University of Oregon Press.
In the last decade, DePreist devoted much of his efforts to teaching, as director of orchestral and conducting studies at Juilliard from 2004 to 2011. He also worked as a spokesperson in the fight against the global spread of polio, often collaborating with the violinist Itzhak Perlman and Rotary Club International.
In a 2005 interview on WNYC's Soundcheck, DePreist spoke about the role his race has played in his career.
"It's natural to assume that if racism is part of the country, it's part of every aspect of it including the music business," he said. "But if I look back on my career, I can't say that there was anything I didn't have, I didn't get because I was black. I know many of my non-black colleagues who would have liked to have the career that I've had."
DePreist is survived by his wife Ginette; and two daughters, Tracy and Jennifer, from his first marriage to Betty Childress.
