text: Virtual Museum Presidents of BAUS Michael Handley Ashken MS, FRCS1931 - 2016 Summarised from Plarr's Lives of the Fellows Online Michael Handley Ashken was born in the East End of London in 1931. He went to Bedales School where he excelled at all sports, especially cricket, which he played and enjoyed watching for most of his life. He started his medical training at The Middlesex Hospital at the age of 17, just at the time the NHS was founded. He gained prizes and honours at all stages of his student life and qualified in November 1955. After completing his basic surgical training in Guildford, Manchester and the Middlesex Hospital, he passed the Final FRCS examination in 1959, following which he was called up for military service in Malaya, where he gained a large amount of clinical experience. At the end of his National Service, he chose to return to the Middlesex Hospital with Sir Eric Riches and Richard Turner-Warwick, where he was encouraged to take the customary two years out of clinical surgery to carry out research for his MS Thesis. He was appointed Senior Registrar at The Middlesex Hospital in 1964, and Consultant Urologist at the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital in 1968. He was appointed to a Hunterian professorship in 1966. With his arrival as a pure urologist, Michael and his colleague Alan Green set up a department in Norwich which was very popular with urological trainees. He also collaborated with Herbert Brendler, Nils Koch, Ernst Zingg, Urs Studer and others, resulting in much international travel, both working and examining. The collaboration resulted in production of the definitive tome "Urinary Diversion" (Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, Springer-Verlag, 1982). He was President of the Section of Urology at the RSM from 1990 to 1991, and was the first President to take the section to North America for a winter meeting. He was President of BAUS from 1994 to 1996, the first incumbent not to be based in a teaching hospital (although Norfolk & Norwich Hospital is now). He married Iris Platt in May 1956, when they were both pre-registration House Officers, and they had three children, Sharon, Peter & Ian. Michael died on 22 September 2016 at the age of 85, four months after celebrating his diamond wedding anniversary, and is survived by his wife, children and six grandchildren. In 2006, to celebrate his 75th birthday, his family set up a charitable trust which continues to sponsor visiting lecturers at the East Anglian Urologists' Regional Meeting each year in Cambridge. ←

It is a strange time in the UK.
I'm not referring to England being 2-0 up after 2 tests in the Ashes (something that happens about as often as a Briton winnng the Men's Singles at Wimbledon), nor the fact that a Briton has won the Tour de France for the second year running.
Stranger even than that is the bright yellow ball in the sky which has replaced the traditional warm rain of the British Summer.
This phenomenon has had a strange effect on the cat. Her animal instincts obviously alerted by the unfamiliar change in the climate, she currently spends almost all of her time out in the garden.
Unfortunately, she seems to have decided to treat said garden as something of a litter tray. This will necessitate something of a mine-sweeping exercise before I next mow the lawn.
It's frustrating when you're anxious to start something but then hit an unpleasant roadblock.
For example, you may have decided to have a play with that Oracle XE/Apex installation on your laptop that you haven't used for a little while. However, when you come to connect, you realise that you can't remember the password.
Health Warning – Before I go any further, I should point out that doing this is not something I'd recommend on anything other than a system that's being used simply as a playground for you to experiment and which contains no sensitive data.

Hartford women's basketball coach Jen Rizzotti has been named one of four court coaches to work with Geno Auriemma's national team at a mini-camp this weekend.
Rizzotti will join DePaul coach Doug Bruno, Chicago Sky coach Pokey Chapman and South Carolina coach Dawn Staley.
Dan Ruede of UHart has all the additional information in the following press release ...
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – The USA Basketball Women's National Team Steering Committee announced on Monday that University of Hartford women's basketball coach Jennifer Rizzotti will serve as one of four court coaches who will work with the 2013-16 USA National Team and University of Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma and the 28 athletes who will participate in a mini-camp this weekend.
Rizzotti, who is no stranger to coaching stints with USA Basketball, will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo. for the three-day mini-camp joining DePaul University head coach Doug Bruno, Chicago Sky head coach Pokey Chatman and South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley. The head coach of the Minnesota Lynx, Cheryl Reeve, was also selected as a court coach; however, she will be unable to attend after leading the Lynx to its third-straight WNBA Finals.
"Certainly when you've got a lot of players in a short period of time, you do need a coaching staff that knows how to evaluate talent, how to get things done quickly. I think the experience factor is there, whether it's been coaching at a high level, former Olympians, gold-medal winning coaches, we've got that in our court coaches," said Auriemma.
A 14-year (1999-00 to present) head coach at Hartford, Rizzotti tackles her fourth USA Basketball coaching assignment. She most recently piloted the 2011 USA U19 World Championship Team to an 8-1 record, the gold medal and was named the 2011 USA Basketball National Coach of the Year. She also was head coach of the 2010 USA U18 National Team that went 5-0 en route to winning gold at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship and first served as an assistant coach for the 2007 USA U18 National Team that captured gold. A three-time America East Conference Coach of the Year, Rizzotti owns a 276-162 (.630 winning percentage) overall record at Hartford and has advanced the Hawks to postseason play 10 times, including each of the past nine seasons.
"It's always a thrill for me to get a call from USA Basketball," said Rizzotti. "It's an honor to be asked to assist at the USA National Team's training camp and work with the best coaches and players in the country. It's also a privilege to work side by side with Geno Auriemma, this country's premier women's basketball coach."

Cook the Book: Black and White Russian Cookies
I figured it would be wise to start out our week of boozy baking with a drink that naturally lends itself to dessert. The White Russian is embraced by teetotalers and stoney dudes like Jeff Daniels. It's sweet and easy to drink and packs a remarkably potent punch. Vodka is mixed with a coffee liqueur, and finished with half and half or even better, heavy cream to make for a cocktail that tastes more or less like a grown-up milkshake. It's a drink rarely ordered with a straight face but has to be one of the greatest sippable guilty pleasures around.
Lucy Baker has adapted The Dude's go-to drink into another guilty pleasure, the black and white cookie, in her newly released cookbook, The Boozy Baker. The coffee flavor goes into the cake-like cookies in the form of powdered espresso and again in it's boozy liquid form (Kahlúa or any other coffee flavored liqueur), and then again in the black and tan frosting.
The frosting doesn't have that distinct black and white contrast of a traditional black and white due to those few tablespoons of Kahlúa, but the end result tastes almost like a cafe mocha—coffee, chocolate, and just the right amount of dairy richness. And I have to give Lucy credit for coming up with a batter that finds the perfect balance of cookie and cake texture, which is really the key to the ideal black and white. And the kicked-up frosting would make The Big Lebowski proud.
- Yield:12 large cookies
- For the cookies:
- 11/4 cups cake flour
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup well-shaken buttermilk
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa
- For the icing:
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon water
- 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons coffee liqueur, such as Kahlúa
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl sift together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, instant espresso powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and the sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until incorporated.
Combine the buttermilk and the coffee liqueur in a liquid measuring cup. Gradually add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the butter mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat just to incorporate after each addition, and scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Drop six large (about 1/3 cup) spoonfuls of batter onto each baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the tops of the cookies are puffy and the tops spring back when pressed lightly. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
To make the icing, combine the confectioners sugar, corn syrup, 1 tablespoon of water and coffee liqueur in a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon half of mixture into smaller bowl and stir in the cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of water.
Spread half of the flat "bottom" side of each cookie with the coffee icing and half with the cocoa frosting.

Having spent almost a year building nothing in Lego - including "missing" my own Lego Show in April - I decided to (over-)commit to five shows/events between now and next April. So it was time to resurrect my Castle Town from the sorting boxes.
With many shows to attend, my usual trick of destroying the castle at the end of a show was not really an option, so carefully planning was needed. I also needed a solution that was self-contained (as I can't rely on others being at all the shows), transportable, and viable in several sizes. The idea is also, over time, to rebuild sections as improvements suggest themselves.
I have a number of train baseboards, and the maximum I can comfortably fit in the car is three, so this determined the size of the biggest possible plan (240 x 160 studs). One board would be too small, so the same modules would also have to make a smaller castle on two boards (160 x 160 studs).
I now have the modules to make the town complete to a point that I can display it in either configuration
Inner Bailey - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2651637 (keep clicking "Next" - and no, I have no intention of animating this sequence, with or without the Bagpuss Mice!)
Large Castle - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2651648
Small Castle - http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2651660
(the small castle requires one 16x16 stud wall module not needed in the large castle)
Various market stalls will be used to fill in the gaps.

Gov. Hickenlooper on Thursday to deliver fourth State of the State speech
Fires, floods and first-responders, as well as the Broncos, are sure to be part of Gov. John Hickenlooper's State of the State speech on Thursday, a review of his past efforts shows.
This will be Hickenlooper's fourth State of the State speech. Republicans hope it's his last: Hickenlooper, a Democrat first elected in 2010, is running for re-election.
He's been present for almost a decade of the annual speeches, which are delivered on the second day of the session at 11 a.m. in the House chambers. When Hickenlooper was mayor of Denver, he was a guest at the State of the State speeches.
Here's a look back at Hickenlooper's three earlier State of the State speeches:
Republicans sat stoned-faced when Hickenlooper brought up tougher gun laws, but were helpless when the governor flubbed his last line and uttered, "Oh, Jesus."
"I think he's a wonderful man. He came off very well as our governor," Rep Carole Murray, R-Castle Rock, said afterward. "He shows his humanity. You might not like all of his positions but he is very likeable."

This is the first review of 2016, so welcome to the Annual January Movie Sh*tshow! We're kicking off the month with a really bad horror film starring Natalie Dormer called The Forest. What is it about? If you guessed a forest, you're right! More specifically, it's about the Aokigahara Forest, the so called "suicide forest", in Japan, a real place where a lot of people have gone to die over the years, including last year, as people still flock to Aokigahara to kill themselves. Full Story
Margaery and Lady Gaga
Game Of Thrones Episode 9 on Sunday. Will the Khaleesi marry that guy? Will Jorah die? Please let him die. I don't know what the point of that character is anymore. She has Tyrion now. Make Jorah go away. As for Margaery in prison…will old lady Tyrell bust her out of jail? And leave Cersei behind? Margaery, real name Natalie Dormer, is currently in Serbia evidently shooting a movie with Taylor Kinney, better known as Lady Gaga's fiancé. Full Story
"We Can Be Heroes"
Game Of Thrones. A trailer. Set to David Bowie. Well, not him, exactly, but that's who I associate with the song. And what do we have here? Margaery is getting married. Again. How many f-cking times is she going to marry a guy who ends up dying right after he marries her? Black Widow! Tyrion appears to be on his way to finding the Khaleesi which…good. Full Story
The women of Mockingjay

How's this for a great photo call and red carpet? Mockingjay is expected to be the biggest movie of the season. And it's being represented on the press tour by a predominantly female cast. The Hunger Games is in London. Yesterday was the photo call with Julianne Moore, Elizabeth Banks, and Natalie Dormer. Full Story
Natalie Dormer's "resting bitch face"
Natalie Dormer covers the December issue of FLARE. Dormer plays Cressida in Mockingjay: Part 1. You also know her as Margaery in Game Of Thrones. And you may have met her as Anne Boleyn in The Tudors. Or maybe you just love her look – she buzzed half her head for The Hunger Games. Full Story
Fassbender & Dormer
Michael Fassbender apparently had the day off from shooting The Counselor in Alicante, Spain today. He was photographed out for a walk with a friend. Since many of you are still really into him, those are for you. And these are for me -- Natalie Dormer unrecognisable as a blonde and not in costume as Anne Boleyn or half naked as Margaery Tyrell. Full Story
Jon Snow and the Wildling in real life
Wenn, Mike Marsland/Getty
TMZ has photos of Ygritte and Jon Snow a couple of weeks ago being all sweet and romantic at a London restaurant. Click here to see. Apparently they were kissing too. OK fine so they're probably dating in real life but more importantly...do they f-ck in the story? I really want them to. Full Story
Would You Be Jealous?
Last night in New York – the premiere of The Tudors Season 2. Wanna play "make a story"? The tabloids do it all the time, simply by looking at photos and conjuring smut from just one frame. In this case, several suggestive frames. Have a look… Jonathan Rhys Meyers and his ubiquitous medicated freaky eyes with long time girlfriend Reena Hammer. Full Story

Skip the gift card or e-card next time you want to send your thoughts and try Stitch, today's first app worth downloading. It lets you add music, images and your own text to your messages, as well as effects that can add motion. In the games department, we've got the role-playing title Sword & Glory, which is all about fighting guys with swords and being remembered through the ages, and Pinball Rocks HD, a pinball title that features tons of great rock songs.
Stitch (Free)
What's it about? Send messages exactly they way you want to with Stitch, an app that lets you add sound, text, photos and even motion to your sentiments.
What's cool? Calling Stitch an e-card app would simplify what it does, because while at a basic level it looks like what you're creating with the app is an e-card – it has text and a photo and is designed to send a message – it's more complex and involved than that. Stitch lets you add effects to create motion with your messages, all its text is fully customizeable, and you can even add your own music to create something of an e-card slideshow. When you're, done you can send the card via email, text, and through social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as well.
Who's it for? If you're looking for a better way to send a card for whatever occasion, try Stitch.
What's it like? Grab American Greetings eCards and justWink Cards for more options for sending your sentiments.
Sword & Glory (Free)
What's it about? Gain glory through the generations and build up your clan and your name in role-playing title Sword & Glory.
What's cool? Set in a time before civilization as we know it today, Sword & Glory is all about the two things mentioned in its title. As a member of a clan (or not), your only goal is to determine what kind of person you'll be and what you'll eventually die for. The goal is to help yourself be remembered among other people, and you'll be able to pass down what you learn and what you achieve to the next generation as you advance to become even more famous and glorified. Sword & Glory includes duels that you'll fight against other characters, in which you'll have to determine how to attack to best break defenses while protecting yourself with your shield. You'll also spend a lot of time in conversations as you wander the world and get yourself into adventures.
Who's it for? RPG fans, Sword & Glory keeps things simple but offers a lot of depth.
What's it like? Try the recently released Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for another great RPG with lots of choices.
Pinball Rocks HD (Free)
What's it about? Sony's take on Pinball focuses on some of the loudest and most often rock bands ever, featuring their music.
What's cool? Though there are a number of Pinball Rocks versions that are specific to particular bands such as AC/DC or Slayer, Pinball Rocks a broader (and free) approach. The game features songs from a number of rock bands and features some 20 missions for players to work through, plus three additional bonus games. As for the pinball portion, you'll be able to play Pinball Rocks in either landscape or portrait modes, and the game features multiple camera angles, allowing you to get the best, most comfortable view of the action for you.
Who's it for? Fans of pinball and rock should check out Pinball Rocks, as it's a great introduction to the other paid titles in the series.
What's it like? Try Sony's other Pinball Rocks titles, AC/DC Pinball Rocks and Slayer Pinball Rocks.

Event detail
Sam Contis / MATRIX 266
Exhibit - Photography | May 3 – August 26, 2017 every Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
In her first solo museum exhibition, Oakland-based artist Sam Contis uses photography and archival research to explore the relationship of bodies and landscape and the shifting nature of gender identity and expression. The work in this exhibition was made at Deep Springs Collegelocated in a remote valley on the California-Nevada borderwhich is one of the countrys last all-male institutions of higher learning. In this body of work, Contis has included a number of photographs borrowed from the Deep Springs archive, including images made by some of the first students at the college nearly a hundred years ago. Contiss images of men incorporate both conventionally masculine and feminine imagery and attitudes. Against the backdrop of ageless mountain ranges, the historically constructed categories of gender seem to melt away like a desert mirage.
Organized by BAMPFA Director and Chief Curator Lawrence Rinder.

When Kelley Sperry falls, Kobi's there.
He'll try to ease her to the floor, lick her face, cuddle up by her.
The golden retriever brings her medication, drinks when she's thirsty and anything she's dropped. But most of all, he brings her security and love.
"Before this, Kelley was very depressed," said her mother, Donna. "He gave her a reason to to get up and get moving."
The family stayed recently with Kelley's grandmother, Ann MacVeagh, in Huntley as Kelley recovered from her latest treatment at University of Wisconsin Hospital. With Kobi curled at her feet, Kelley pointed out her leg twitching.
"That could turn into a grand mal seizure," said the 21 year old, who has epilepsy as a result of Parry Romberg Syndrome. Rare, the syndrome causes a slow, progressive degeneration of the soft tissue on half of Kelley's face.
She's had numerous reconstructive facial surgeries over the past six years at the Madison, Wis., hospital. After the surgeries, she stays with MacVeagh in Sun City.
"Grandma's house is like our hub, a place to heal and relax," Donna said.
As a result of the syndrome, Kelley sometimes has three to five of the grand mal seizures, which involve a loss of consciousness, and up to 40 focal, or partial, seizures a day.
Since January, Kobi has been there to sense and recognize the seizures and to warn Kelley's mother. Kelley has fallen out of a shower, shattered a mirror in her bedroom and broken a kitchen cabinet with her shoulder.
Kobi knows how to ring doorbells stationed throughout the house to alert others to Kelley's seizures.
If the seizures happen during the night, Donna can move the pillows away from Kelley's face, talk her through them.
Until Kobi, Kelley slept with her mother, about a foot from her face.
"It's that dangerous for her to be alone," Donna said. "I think the most important thing [Kobi] does is provide another set of eyes for us."
The family, which calls Windsor, Colo., home, wants to raise awareness of how dogs like Kobi can help. They've become advocates for the Chelsea Hutchison Foundation, which helped pair Kobi with Kelley.
Julie and Doug Hutchison created the foundation after the death of their daughter, Chelsea, who died in her sleep during a seizure at age 16. The couple wasn't aware at the time that Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy existed, and now wants to make other parents aware.
They've also worked with therapy dog groups to link up the dogs to those in need.
Many don't realize how life-changing the dogs can be and often assume service dogs are solely for the blind.
Kelley's been mistaken as blind so many times she recently bought a T-shirt that says, "No, I'm not blind," on the front. The back says, "He's my seizure dog."
She speaks in support of the foundation when needed, shares her story as often as she can.
"I just feel so strongly about her foundation. Her child died and she picked right up . . ." she said of Julie Hutchison. "You would never know. She always has a smile on her face. She works to raise money so others can have dogs. I'm right on board with her. That's my dream, to be just like her."
The dogs can cost about $20,000 more or less. Though efforts are made by nonprofit organizations to help pay for the cost, families must raise as much money as they can, as well.
Because Donna gave up her job to care for Kelley, the family wasn't sure they'd be able to afford a dog.
Two of Kelley's friends, Brittany Perich and Lindsey Wittal, stepped in and hosted a silent auction to help the family raise about $6,000.
Kobi is now constantly at Kelley's side, no matter where she goes. The dog has learned to sense when seizures might be coming and nudges Kelley or leans his body up against her.
The epilepsy has become consuming. Typically, those with seizures are told to go to the hospital after they have a few in a day.
"If [Kelley] did that, she would live at the hospital," Donna said.
For Kelley, more than 30 seizures a day trigger a hospital stay. The ambulance has been called to the family's home at least 30 times. Kelley takes about 30 pills a day, and she's continually trying new mixes of medications to ease the seizures.
As for the syndrome, there's not much more that can be done. Any further efforts to rebuild the side of her face would require extensive surgery, the actual breaking of bones in her cheeks.
"Now seizures are our priority," Donna said.
The seizures and Kobi, who like a toddler, Kelley said, needs to be dressed, played with and trained every day. He wears a sort of vest that tells people of his service dog duties.
Though it's tough some days, she continues to follow her grandmother's advice to get up every day and put on her makeup, even if she has no plans to see anyone that day.
Sometimes, she admits, she has days when she wants to be alone, when she'd like some space. But she can't imagine life without Kobi.
"I love him to death," she said, giving him a squeeze.

It's past Christmas, and many kids have shiny new devices that access the internet. I figured it might be a good time to share some reminders for all of us to think about and share with our kids. We have to protect them and teach them to protect themselves! Here are 8 Internet Safety Tips for Kids, Tweens and Teens.
1. Never post your personal information (cell phone number, address, name of your school, etc) – even on Facebook. The same goes for your friends' or family members' information.
2. Be aware that anything you put online is online forever. Even if you delete it, it's accessible and can be used against you for many things – including jobs in the future!
3. If you don't know someone in real life, you don't know them online, so you shouldn't add them to your friends list. You might think you know them, but it's very easy to lie! Never meet someone in person that you've "met" online.
4. Keep your password private – nobody except you and your parent(s) should know it. Period.
5. Photos, photos, photos… your photos can be stolen and used for other (read: perverted) purposes. Also, someone could steal your photos and pretend that they are photos of themselves! So, when you post photos, keep that in mind. Never send photos to people (even through text) that you wouldn't want the entire world to see. Wouldn't send the photo to your parents? Then don't send it to anyone else!
6. Lock it down – if you're on Facebook, have your parent(s) check over your privacy settings to make sure nothing is public. You don't want strangers accessing your (or your friends') information.
7. Before you open an email attachment, be sure to scan it for viruses – or if you're not sure how to do that, talk to your parents about it so they can. Never open an attachment from someone you don't know.
8. If you receive a rude text or email, do not respond to it. Let your parent(s) know about it, so they can keep an eye out if it turns into something more serious. If someone posts something rude on your social networks, delete the post – and possibly delete the friend.

Drug manufacturers shouldn't be immune if products cause harm
The Portland Press Herald
Merely citing federal approval for some uses doesn't mean all possible ones are protected.
NAN ARON and SHARON TREAT
December 30, 2008
Imagine that you went to an emergency room for treatment of a migraine headache and were given a drug that caused gangrene so that your arm had to be amputated.
And then the drug company, supported by the Bush administration, claimed that the right to recover damages that has existed in your state for hundreds of years has been eliminated?
This is exactly what happened to Diana Levine, a professional musician in Marshfield, Vt.
Now, Maine's two senators, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe, will play a key role in the new Congress as it decides whether this could happen to any user of prescription drugs or medical devices in Maine and other states.
In Levine's case, a Vermont jury and the state's Supreme Court ruled that Wyeth Pharmaceutical, the company that made the drug, should be held accountable for its failure to warn doctors about the risk of gangrene when administering the medicine by an intravenous push injection.
This intravenous injection had led to serious complications in at least 20 previous patients.
The U.S. Supreme Court, however, has now agreed to rule on a new legal theory put forward by Wyeth. Wyeth claims that Levine can't sue because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the drug for marketing.
This isn't much different from saying that if your car is rammed on Tukey's Bridge, the other driver can't be held accountable in court because he or she has a driver's license giving permission to be on the road.
So far, the U.S. Supreme Court has sent mixed messages on whether it will take away our traditional right to hold the makers of unsafe products accountable in the state courts.
On Dec. 15, the court by a 5-4 vote upheld the right of three Maine residents to sue Philip Morris and its parent company for deceptive marketing of "light" or "low tar" cigarettes.
In that case, Attorney General Steven Rowe successfully argued that regulation of such sales falls under the state of Maine's public-health police powers.
The tobacco manufacturers had maintained that federal labeling laws pre-empt, or bar, such lawsuits at the state level.
This ruling was in stark contrast to a similar case decided earlier this year. In that decision, the high court ruled that Americans can no longer sue corporations that manufacture medical devices such as defibrillators, heart pumps, artificial heart valves, hips and knees if the FDA gave permission to market the product.
Corporations' attack on Americans' long-established legal rights has been supported by the Bush administration, even though the FDA's own experts wrote in a 2003 memo that agency approval to market is based only on the evidence available at the time. Much of that comes from the manufacturers themselves and is based on very short clinical trials.
Many drugs and medical devices that were marketed with federal permission were later found to have caused serious health damage, including Vioxx, Zoloft, Fen-Phen, Avandia and Celebrex.
The Bush administration has inserted this new "hit and run" protection for big corporations into more than 60 regulations during the past eight years – removing a powerful incentive for manufacturers to make sure a medication, car seat, crib, toy or other product is safe.
Fortunately, as soon as the new Congress convenes, Collins and Snowe, along with President-elect Barack Obama, will have the opportunity to help enact legislation to make it even clearer that federal regulators' approval to market does not relieve manufacturers of responsibility to make safe products nor remove their accountability in court for injuries such as those suffered by Diana Levine.
Obama also will have the opportunity to appoint – with support from Collins and Snowe – federal judges at all levels, including the Supreme Court, who understand that our legal system is supposed to protect the rights and health of everyone in Maine and the rest of America and not just corporate special interests.

Nan Aron Op-Ed Makes Portland Press Herald
Drug manufacturers shouldn't be immune if products cause harm


text:
Browder's book "Surgery on simply-connected manifolds" defines the Kervaire invariant in a very general setting. My question is: how does one get the more usual definition of the invariant for a framed (or Wu-orinented) manifold from Browder's general definition?
Browder's setting: For Poincare pairs $(X,Y)$ and $(A,B)$ with specified Spivak normal bundles, a normal map is a map $f: (X,Y) \to (A,B)$ that has degree 1 and is covered by a bundle map $b$ from one Spivak normal bundle to the other. Browder manages to define the $\mathbb Z /2$-valued Kervaire invariant $\sigma$ for any such map (no additional information needed), at least as long as $f^*$ takes the Wu class of $A$ to the Wu class of $X$. I find it hard to understand his definition.
Some simplification: For the sake of understanding, it should be safe to replace all the Poincare pairs with closed manifolds, and Spivak normal bundles with normal bundles. Then, a normal map becomes a degree-1 map of manifolds embedded in a high-dimensional Euclidean space that is covered by a bundle isomorphism of normal bundles. If the manifolds can be framed (or Wu-oriented), the Wu classes will be zero, so there's no reason to worry about them.
Question: How does this situation relate to the more usual situation of having a manifold with a framing or Wu orientation (which are, of course, necessary to define the Kervaire invariant in the usual way)? I'd imagine that there is some standard thing I could fix $(A,B)$ to be so that Browder's version of Kervaire invariant computes the usual Kervaire invariant of $(X,Y)$. I couldn't figure out what it should be. This choice of $(A,B)$ should somehow encode the Wu orientation on $(X,Y)$.
Please tell me if there are any mistakes in the above. Thank you!

Bare Feet Studios brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 32 Designs von 14 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're launching a New/Social media membership-based training site called "Know How Cafe." It's a site were entrepreneurs, professionals, and business owners can learn about all aspects of web 2.0 and the social web. Members will learn how to be savvy users of Twitter, podcasting, flickr, linked in, facebook, etc. The site is not yet live since we need a logo to guide the design direction.
There are lots of free applications and services on line that are great for business users. But knowing how to use them effectively is not easy for non-technical people. We've provided programming, development, and consulting services for 12 years to clients around the country. We're now taking all our experience and putting that into a single resource where members can learn what they want when they want. It will feature case studies, screen casts, webinars, forums, and more. We will program the functionality but do not yet have a design concept.
Members will be the leaders of their industries, the ones who want to be the smartest, fastest innovators, and who want to use the social web with savvy.
Based on the logo, we'll then design a complementary site around it and possibly come back to the winning designer for additional work on full-site color themes, callouts, details, etc.
We will also give the winning designer plenty of link love on our site as well.
- Professional creative style
- Primary colors: Blues or Greens or deep Purples
- If you have a color pallet that comes to mind, by all means express it. We tend to think professional colors run in the above ranges but plenty of companies use Reds and Oranges to great effect.
- Secondary colors: shades or tints of the primary
- Tertiary colors for links, callouts, rollovers ect can be more on the opposite side of the wheel to provide color balance and help with depth of the design
- Prefer a somewhat standard font (or font that is easy purchased and works on Macs) so variations, banners, badges, etc. are easy to create and reproduce.

text: Updated 2016 The tiny peninsula of Gibraltar sits off the coast of Spain, a pint-sized monument to the long-expired dominance of the colonial British Empire. Gibraltar's tiny size belies the number of sights and things to do on the island, however. An island shrouded in mystery and seen as a stronghold for centuries, Gibraltar is said to be a web of immense tunnels and caves and nuclear fallout shelters.

Bike NYC announces a new change in it's tickets to the largest group ride in America, a lottery system.
Here is a New York Times article explaining how the TD five borough bike tour has changed its policy partly due to the popularity increase of cycling in NYC.
Bike Tour's Popularity Leads to Changes
By: Christine Haughney
Published: January 10th, 2012

Given the Bloomberg administration's continued push to have the city become more hospitable to bicyclists, it should come as little surprise that the TD Five Boro Bike Tour has grown in popularity — almost to its own detriment.
Last year, the registration period lasted all of 24 hours, freezing out many who had wanted to participate. And once the event began, about 3,000 riders were stranded for hours in a major bicyclist bottleneck on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

Ingredients for Glutinous Rice:(A)
i used to have this for breakfast or snacks in m'sia...really good!
I love pulut panggang but so far only made it once. Maybe with my sisters here I should make some so they can help me to eat :)
Much like those dumplings/Zongzi we eat at dragon boat festival...
Angie's Recipes
I love pulut panggang. This is simply the best and I can easily eat 4 of this.
Eaten this but did not know the name....oops!
Hmmm... at least now I know.
thanks for dropping by:) hope to see you again:)
oh yes,I remember you make this snack long time ago..I'm sure your sister will honor to help you to finish this snack:)
I guess you can said this snack like zongzhi but actually this snack is much much easier to make than zongzhi,atleast don't need the kungfu to wrap the banana leave..
eat 4 ?? hmmmm I must try too..
now you can eat this anytime in singapore..I bet the one sell taste better!!

Formula One racing season is in full swing, and so is production on Ron Howard's F1 drama Rush starring Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Brühl, and Olivia Wilde. The film chronicles the 1970s rivalry between Austrian F1 driver Niki Lauda (Brühl) and British driver James Hunt (Hemsworth). I'm not into racing here in the states since I'm more interested in the sport of paint-drying than watching cars go around a track 500 times. But in Europe, F1 is far more exhilarating since the cars travel around twists and turns rather than going left for 18 hours. Last year's documentary Senna made me more interested in the sport, and a new behind-the-scenes featurette for Rush has me hoping that Howard has captured that same sense of excitement.
Hit the jump to check out the featurette. There's currently no release date for Rush, but I wouldn't count on seeing it until 2013.

It begins to fall (free fall, as above), and as it does so it loses gravitational potential energy (since it is getting closer to the ground), but gains kinetic energy (since it is getting faster). This game helps the students to resolve their exam papers without any difficulty. You can move the ball on the computer by placing your cursor over the ball and pressing the mouse buttons to give the ball a nudge in the direction of the mouse button pushed. Life does not have mass, a pH factor, a temperature, an electromagnetic state, or any other physical property or characteristic. Specifically, the concept of free fall is built in to the operation of most roller coasters, as well as the Dominator. This causes the atoms to behave in the way that they do because they incorporate 11 spacetime dimensions, of which gravity becomes one of the more important forces to impact the atom, much like gravity in General Relativity impacts spacetime, the cosmological universe. Yet it is a shortage subject! Crayon Physics is a great game and a must have for any puzzle lover who likes things simple yet challenging enough to entertain for hours. As they enjoy the experiments, they are actually studying. On one hand, early in the poem, Prufrock thinks his "mind is enormous, stretching up from the argumentative streets, up through the licking fog, all the way up to the etherized sky," but later, when the women are mentioned in the stanza beginning with "And indeed there will be time," Prufrock "becomes, not infinite, but infinitesimal: a pair of ragged claws" (Albright, 230). Glauber (United States) Awarded for contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence. Put an egg into a bowl of plain water, wherein, but naturally, the egg will sink to the bottom of the water. Developers are rushing to take advantage of these tools and with the help of Box2D and the Corona Framework, the sky is no longer the limit. In the kinds of systems studied in physics classrooms and enjoyed at amusement parks, there is usually an exchange between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy once the object (say, a roller coaster car) is released. Even though to us gravity is very powerful, in the universe it is at the bottom of the force heap. It is presented in Stockholm at an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death. Hulse, Joseph H. The greater the distance between the club and the ball, the lesser is the distance traveled by the golf ball as the sand in between acts as the impact absorber.Weather also decides the physics adopted for a swing. happily this one survives probably because it got listed as a kook physics website. His only claim is that religion is compatible with science. It interprets gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of space-time. High school physics projects are most of the time, difficult to surmount as they require a piece of art, an original thought and sound knowledge 'n' interest in the subject.

text: The National Aquarium truly values every volunteer who lends us his/her time, and some volunteers go far above and beyond what we could ever ask of them. In fact, we begin to wonder, how would we get by without them?! Chuck Erbe is one such volunteer. Chuck was no stranger to animal rescues when he first came to our National Aquarium Animal Rescue team several years ago; he volunteered in Delaware with the Marine Education, Research, and Rehabilitation Institute and actually assisted National Aquarium Animal Rescue with rescues and releases even before he came to be part of our program. He was drawn to the compassion of the Animal Rescue staff and the contributions they made to the stranding network, and when he pursued the opportunity to become involved in Animal Rescue we knew he would be a perfect fit! Chuck's contagious passion for healthy oceans has helped make dozens of National Aquarium Animal Rescue outreach events successful, and he has the rare ability to get through to people and really make an impact. He mentions "participating in the educational outreach workshops and seeing the enthusiasm of the young children as we talk to them" as a source of inspiration to continue his volunteer work. Chuck is generous with more than just his time, and he is always donating to our cause – take, for instance, the larger-than-life sea turtle model that he decided our Animal Rescue outreach display simply could not do without! When its rescue time and marine animal lives are on the line, Chuck never hesitates to lend a helping hand – when a stranded animal needs to be transported to the Aquarium, he finds a way to be there. And you can bet he is there when all the hard work comes together for a successful release! When asked about a favorite Animal Rescue moment, Chuck replied, "Each time we are able to rehabilitate and release an animal, it brings joy to my heart." Naturally, he was unable to really nail down a favorite animal experience, but he was proud to have been an integral part of the rescues of both of the National Aquarium Animal Rescue animals released in 2009, a seal named Hamilton, and Flight and Release, a loggerhead sea turtle. The Aquarium Conservation Team (ACT!) works closely with National Aquarium Animal Rescue, so it was only a matter of time before ACT! realized that they too could benefit from Chuck's passion for the environment. ACT! recruited him as a boat captain, and there are numerous restoration planting projects that could not have been completed without Captain Chuck cheerfully running people and supplies to some of our island sites. We asked Chuck why he keeps coming back for more – "Easy answer," he replied, "The really great people I get to meet and associate with. They are just fantastic, caring, compassionate individuals both from National Aquarium Animal Rescue and ACT! I am thrilled to be able to work along side them…There is nothing I'd rather be doing than volunteering with others to help our environment." Clearly, he does not realize that we are the ones lucky to have him. Chuck is truly an inspiration, so as a closing we asked him to provide a bit of advice to help encourage folks who might be considering volunteering in the future: Do you want to feel great about yourself? Do you want to help make a difference? Do you want to spend time around great people? Do you want to challenge our younger people to participate in conservation? If you do, then please become a volunteer. It is something that you will be glad you did, and our animals and the environment will benefit from your experiences.

Mark Byrnes
Mark Byrnes is a former senior associate editor at CityLab who writes about design and architecture.
Built in 1969, Buffalo's Main Place Mall was intended to help save a downtown already reeling from the steady flight of people and stores to the suburbs. The two-story shopping center, designed by famed architecture firm Harrison and Abramovitz, sprawls out nearly two blocks, cutting off the street grid and anchoring what is now the city's fourth tallest building.
The mall failed to keep retailers downtown, but it did present itself as a respectable, albeit modest, shopping center, conveniently attached via skybridge to what became the city's last remaining department store. When that department store closed in 1995, the mall began to lose stores at a fast pace. Eventually, a glass-enclosed restaurant and nightclub along the tower's base, owned by former NFL star Jim Kelly, closed too.
Today the mall is hardly what its name implies, hosting only a small collection of stores on its first floor and a food court on part of the second. It regularly draws scathing online reviews from bewildered and disappointed shoppers. Its current appearance feeds into negative perceptions of the city – a dead mall for a dead downtown. But it is hardly empty.
Behind the white walls and secured, beige doors that have replaced so many former storefronts is one of the region's biggest data centers, where an international collection of telecommunications firms is successfully reusing an outdated architectural concept. Their racks of servers benefit from the city's cold weather, lack of natural disasters, proximity to surrounding cities and an international border.
The building's owners make more rent off the servers than they would from retail storefronts, not to mention empty space. The tenants are more reliable. And the region gets more tax revenue, as well as proof to show other companies looking for data storage facilities that Buffalo is a proven good choice.
As a piece of urban infrastructure, though, the Main Place Mall is a superblock eyesore, one so significant it has been featured in local parody videos and meme extensions.
The actual shopping experience today in Main Place Mall can be disorienting. During a typical workday, healthy foot traffic outside and a busy food court inside gets interrupted by blank white walls with mysterious beige doors facing the remains of the building's shopping infrastructure. The first floor still includes a small collection of retailers. On the second, only the food court remains in use while vacant storefronts face opposite the blank walls. The average shopper has no idea what's behind them.
As a space that's part-mall, part-data center, it winds up functioning particularly poorly as far as humans are concerned. That disconnect illustrates the challenge of inserting data centers – more often built as nondescript mega-boxes in the middle of nowhere – into existing urban environments.
Still, it makes a lot of sense to try this: Plenty of post-industrial cities like Buffalo and aging retail chains like Sears are sitting on vacant real estate in bulk. And while other industries have dried up, our demand for ever more data, and more places to store it, will only grow from here. By 2016, the International Data Corporation projects that the physical data-center space devoted to all of our virtual needs in the United States will expand to some 700 million square feet. That's the equivalent of more than a hundred Pentagons.
We've already built a lot of the kinds of places that could serve this demand – if not for the NSA (which demands intense security), or for mega-companies like Facebook (which require massive space), then for smaller businesses or hospitals storing things like electronic health records.
Sears announced plans last month to turn some of its more than 2,500 stores (including Kmarts) into data centers and disaster recovery spaces. A 127,000-square foot location on Chicago's south side closes this month and will be turned into the company's first data center. Underperforming malls in Baltimore, Indianapolis and Pittsburgh are being converted into server storage facilities as well.
"Warehouses, department stores, old manufacturing buildings all make wonderful physical structures for data centers," Dudley Lacy, the president of the North Carolina-based design services firm O'BrienAtkins. "A data center, if you think about, it's basically a warehouse. It's just a warehouse that happens to have active machines in it."
But how do you make a good urban neighbor out of a building full of machines? Will the more cat videos we download and Google docs we create lead to a trade-off in public spaces designed for actual humans? By definition, data centers don't contribute much to the "life" of any area. A 100,000 square foot facility might employ fewer than a dozen people.
In fact, for security reasons, most data centers don't even want you to know that they're data centers.
"A term that's often used is 'hidden in plain sight,'" says Bernie Woytek, with the architecture and design firm Gensler. "No identification, no signage. It's not a flashy building. People are not going to think twice about it."
Data centers primarily need tons of power, space, and good fiber connections. Because a lot of old manufacturing facilities also required at least the first two, they make for good reuse candidates. A data center that goes into a former manufacturing site also poses few of the complications of a downtown mall or a department store.
"Obviously, if it's a Sears store that's renovated adjacent to a residential neighborhood, it's probably not going to work well," says Ray Trevillian, the vice president of advanced technologies for the architecture, engineering and interior design firm Baskervill. Data centers, which overheat easily and require lots of AC, also need backup generators. "It really boils down," Trevillian says, "to the noise from the generators."
With enough money, Lacy says, engineers can dampen some of that noise. But he also points to another set of potential data centers that neither butt right up to residential neighborhoods nor sit in the industrial part of town: big-box stores.
"In my mind, Kmart is not Walmart's rival. Walmart's rival is Amazon," Lacy says. We've been building all of these big-box stores, he says, but now that people buy more and more stuff online, many communities will need to find new uses for empty big-box stores in the future. They would ironically make great places to store all the data from the online purchase of that Father's Day gift you decided not to drive to Walmart to buy.
There is at least one hitch, though. Data centers are more efficient when they can be naturally ventilated with outdoor air, but the air in cities tends to contains more exhaust fumes. That polluted air "can corrode the metal inside a server or the computer equipment," Lacy says. So the air we breathe may not be good enough to cool our computers?
"That's another one of those ironies."
(Mark Byrnes)
There probably won't be so many data centers coming that you have to worry about losing your mall, your church, your office and your closest store to them (Woytek says people have been predicting a massive spike in new development for 20 years: "I heard that in the mid-1990s, I heard it in 2000, I heard it in 2006. And it's never happened.") But inevitably there will be more in our midst, particularly as local governments actively try to lure the appearance of high tech, and as companies like Sears realize they have little left but their real estate.

Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
There's a fatal history behind the claim that African Americans are more resistant to diseases like Covid-19 or yellow fever.
