Second flight for ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang
ESA astronaut Christer Fuglesang from Sweden has been assigned as a Mission Specialist on board the 11-day STS-128 mission, currently scheduled for launch with Space Shuttle Atlantis to the International Space Station (ISS) on 30 July 2009.
This will be Fuglesang's second flight after being a Mission Specialist on the 13-day STS-116 mission to the ISS in December 2006 in which he undertook three spacewalks for ISS assembly and additional duties as part of the European Celsius mission.
The STS-128 mission holds some similarities for Fuglesang when compared to his previous mission. When he arrives at the ISS on Space Shuttle Atlantis, he will again be meeting up with an ESA astronaut (Frank De Winne from Belgium) who will be a member of the ISS Expedition Crew. In December 2006, ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter was on the ISS as the first ESA astronaut to be a member of an ISS Expedition Crew and returned with Fuglesang on the return leg of the STS-116 flight.
For the STS-128 mission Fuglesang will also undertake two spacewalks as part of his mission responsibilities. The tasks include removing and replacing a materials processing experiment outside ESA's Columbus module and returning an empty ammonia tank assembly.
The STS-128 Shuttle Atlantis will transport a Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) in its payload bay, which will carry science and storage racks to the Station. The Italian MPLMs are pressurised cargo containers that travel in the Shuttle's cargo bay. Once at the Station the MPLM is transferred by robotic arm from the cargo bay and attached to the ISS as a pressurised module.
The mission also includes the rotation of an ISS Expedition Crew member. NASA astronaut Nicole Stott who joins the up leg of the Shuttle flight will replace NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra, who returns to Earth with the Shuttle crew.
"This is yet another mission that highlights the increasing profile that Europe has in human spaceflight", said Simonetta Di Pippo, ESA's Director of Human Spaceflight. "A mission that Europe can be proud of with a Swedish ESA astronaut helping to transport an Italian cargo module to the Station where a Belgian ESA astronaut will be serving as a member of an Expedition Crew. I am also glad to see that the ISS will have developed a truly international feel, befitting its name, with the six-person ISS Crew being made up of astronauts from four different space agencies: ESA, NASA, Roscosmos and the Canadian Space Agency. I think this is a shining example the great cooperation that ESA has with its international partners that shows the way forward also for the exploration of Moon and Mars."
In addition to Christer Fuglesang, the STS-128 mission crew consists of NASA astronauts Frederick Sturckow who will command Space Shuttle Atlantis, Kevin Ford who will serve as the pilot and mission specialists John Olivas, Patrick Forrester and Jose Hernandez.
Representatives of the media are invited to attend a press conference at the Swedish National Space Board, Solna strandväg 86, Solna Stockholm on Friday 18 July, starting at 11:00. The press conference will be attended by Christer Fuglesang who will present the mission along with the preparations and training. Following the official presentation of Fuglesang's mission there will be an open Q&A session.

I have a small studio setup which has run faultlessly for 25+ years.
Recently I had to relocate premises and everything has been re-installed
and the individual units are all working perfectly except the smpte
My system is an Atari 1040ST (2Meg Ram) running CLab Notator through
Unitor-N. This links via midi to my modules which are used for composition
etc. I also us an ADAT XT for vocals and acoustic instruments. The ADAT
syncs through a JL Cooper datalink2 unit to the Unitor which feeds the
smpte signal to the ATARI for recording and mixdown. At the moment when I
try to sync the Adat to the Atari nothing is happening at the Atari end.
The ADAT is sending a signal to the datalink2 as the sync light comes on
when play is pressed. The contacts have all been cleaned a number of times
and all leads checked. Individually the ADAT and ATARI & Notator is working
perfectly - just this final smpte is the problem.
Any ideas? Could the Atari be on the way out of the Unitor has a fault?

The Macallan Cask Strength
Whisky Review: The Macallan Cask Strength 84/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (AKA Arctic Wolf)
Posted on September 5, 2010
Grown on The Macallan Estate (and by special contract off of it) is The Macallan's own special strain of barley known as Minstrel Barley. This barley is used exclusively by The Macallan Distillery to serve as a proportion of the barley mash from which their whisky is distilled. But, it is not only the barley which makes their whisky unique. The Macallan Distillery also uses special "curiously small" copper stills to distill their whisky. The smaller stills are specially made, and their unique shape in conjunction with their copper construction helps to act as a catalyst to enhance the formation of sweeter esters while at the same time minimizing impurities in the distillation.
However, that is not enough care and attention for this particular distillery. The distillation is carefully monitored and The Macallan whisky will be made from only 16 % of the resulting spirit. This is amongst the smallest percentages of distillation utilization in all of Scottish Whisky. Only the best of the distillation is selected to fill The Macallan Casks. And still, that does not satisfy their desire for ensuring The Macallan is the best possible whisky.
The oak casks which ages the whisky have been selected from refill Sherry casks originating in Jerez Spain where they have previously held aged sherry for two years. Only these particular seasoned casks (which must be transported 2000 miles to The Macallan Estate) are considered sufficient to mature The Macallan Sherry Cask Whisky into a rich, complex spirit full of aroma and flavour.
The Macallan Website expands upon this information, and if you are curious I suggest you follow the link I have provided and take a look around. It is definitely one of the nicest and most comprehensive distillery websites I have visited.
Recently, I was given a bottle of the Macallan Cask Strength (Sherry Cask) Single Malt Whisky by Leslie J. Wheelock, the Scotch Brand Ambassador for The Macallan, Highland Park, and Famous Grouse whiskies. His hope was for an unbiased review of the whisky on my website, and it is time to begin.
In the Bottle 5/5
The elegant display box housing the Macallan Cask Strength is full of information about The Macallan Whisky, where and how it is made, and why this is important. The box adds a touch of class and ambiance to the occasion of opening the bottle for the first time. It also protects the spirit from the deleterious effects of light ensuring that when I sample the whisky, it is as close to the distiller's and blender's intentions as possible.
The box also contains important information regarding the expected nose, palate and finish of the whisky. When selecting a Single Malt for purchase, this information is very important to help you choose one which will be suitable to your particular palate. I deduce from this box that the whisky should deliver the classic Macallan style with rich sherry notes and strong complexity.
The glass bottle containing the whisky is of the same typical Macallan style which they use for most of their whisky range. It is a slightly wide shouldered whisky bottle topped with a solid high density cork and you can see it pictured to the right.
In the Glass 9/10
I poured a little of The Macallan Cask Strength into a small rocks glass to observe the colour and consistency of the whisky. It has a rich bronze colour with inky red highlights in the glass. Slender legs formed when I tilted the glass and the whisky seems to have a lightly oiled consistency which should be indicative of a medium to long finish.
Upon nosing the glass, smoke-filled sherry notes of raisins and dates present themselves mingling with the sweeter scents of baking spices and cherry chocolate pudding. There is a kind of rum-like accent to the nose of the whisky as the baking spices show evidence of caramelized brown sugar and vanilla.
In the Mouth 50/60
The whisky delivers a wallop of over-proof alcohol goodness and smokey sherry flavours as it enters the mouth. There is an almost leathery flavour and consistency which makes the whisky seem almost chewable. Spicy oak, dried fruit, cherries, and little pockets of cinnamon danish cookies cascade through the palate. This is an intensely packed flavour bomb. The spirit is a full 59.3 % alcohol by volume and the result is that the flavours and the alcoholic thrust are exaggerated considerably when compared to the 40 % alcohol spirits I am used to. I really like the flavour intensity but it is almost too much…
A few drops of water brings a nice demerara sweetness forward, and I can taste a ribbon of orange peel zest separating itself from the woody oak spice. Chocolate custard and holiday Christmas cake sit at the bottom of flavour profile with brown sugar and smidgens of cinnamon sprinkled lightly on top. The smokey sherry still permeates the whisky but the added water has made everything a little easier to handle. A cube of ice added in my third tasting session brought about an unexpected creaminess which I enjoyed immensely.
In the Throat 12/15
At full strength the burn from the hot oak spice is just a little too intense for my comfort level. Even with a little water added or an ice-cube this is potent stuff. The finish is all chocolate pudding and cherries mixed with fruitcake. I like it a lot, but I found I needed some way to tame the intensity.
The Afterburn 8/10
Each part of the experience of this whisky seems to me like I should have scored it higher. The whisky is rich, complex and full of wonderful flavour nuances. In a side by side blind tasting with other higher rated Single Malt Scotches, I might even find myself choosing this whisky each time. Yet, something causes me to leave the bottle on my shelf, and choose other spirits over this one time after time. An unconscious unsettling feeling or impulse which I cannot deny exists. In the end, I have come to the conclusion that this whisky, if it is possible, is too rich and intense for my everyday palate, it becomes a battle of wills to enjoy it rather than an easy going laid back experience.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Recipe Suggestion
In a rush of joyful experimentalism, I decided I wanted to construct a cocktail which I could enjoy when the winter turns cold. I came up with that and more. This bar drink has the potential to knock the frost out of your joints, while it washes your tonsils down you throat. A bracing cocktail which I call, Winter's Bane.
Winter's Bane
1 1/2 oz Macallan Cask Strength
3/4 oz Southern Comfort
tsp Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
2 teaspoons Honey
Stir whisky and honey until smooth
add fresh lime juice
add the Southern Comfort and (if desired) one ice-cube
stir and enjoy responsibly!
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Thanks for everyone's perspective – each is educational for a complete noob who just had his first shot Christmas Eve Eve – and quite the memorable experience! Thanks also for the couple drops of water approach – I had heard of this but forgotten. I can say this – I will look forward to the next round…
March 29, 2011 at 5:47 pm
I consider the alcohol level to be correct. The difference here is, I enjoy Macallan as a warmed after dinner drink. The intense flavors and alcohol level improve my quality meal experiences.
February 9, 2011 at 10:39 am
This is my favorite Scotch so far. I tend to like the stronger whiskies anyway, and of the Macallan 10 year, 12 year and cask strength, this is the most flavorful. A few drops of water do tame it considerably, but either way it is great.
February 6, 2011 at 8:52 pm
I bought a bottle of this a couple days ago without having read reviews and just wanting to try something new out. After reading this review I have to agree. I tend to drink my single malts "neat" but this was one that I had to add a heavy splash of water to. It was just too uncomfortable to drink as I would prefer to. Great flavors but the intensity is too much. This will be a bottle that stays in my cabinet for a while and only gets drank occasionally I think.
Thanks for the great on it!
October 2, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Originally cask strength whisky was meant to be diluted to individual tastes. I think – with no great scientific proof – that freshly diluted whisky is more aromatic or fruity than "pre-mixed" bottle strength whisky. Anyhow no one need suffer discomfort if they understand the meaning of a "splash of water". I have some issues with malts with heavy sherry cask flavors like this Macallan but it sure ain't boring
September 5, 2010 at 4:29 pm
Nice to see an honest review that is not gushing with praise.
I think the trouble with this single malt is its alcohol level is simply to high. There seems to be a trend in the scotch industry to promote "cask strength" bottlings as something exclusive and special. I avoid such bottlings as they are generally not meant to be drank neat and are simply way too powerful for the palate, the liver and sobriety. Some of these cask strength bottlings will intoxicate you far too quickly, which at least in my case is not the desired outcome.
Thanks for the review!

12 Years a Slave
Time Out says
It starts in a field, as a group of men—all black—are huddled too-close together, looking as if the frame itself is going to crush them. They toil away, cutting down swathes of sugarcane; later, dinner is consumed in silence, and amid what seems to be 20, maybe 30 people practically sleeping on top of each other, a man named Platt lies on the floor. He shares a quick, unsolicited moment with a woman next to him, and afterward, you can see shame and confusion play across his face. Even a furtive stab at intimacy in this environment translates as deadening and abusive. His soul seems to be leaking out of his body before our very eyes.
Within five minutes of his adaptation of Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir, British filmmaker Steve McQueen has already put viewers on alert: This is what slavery, that peculiar institution that started a civil war and will forever compromise our nation's moral integrity, looks like. The images may be pretty at times—a visual artist before he was a director, McQueen isn't afraid to fixate on the way that blackberry juice runs across the lip of a dull tin plate, or how the dying embers of a burning letter fade into darkness. But this story of Northup, a cultured and free black New Yorker who was drugged by carnies, kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841.…His tale will not be pretty at all.
You will see how Northup, played with extraordinary precision and grace by English actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, is beaten with planks and whips, his shirt reduced to—as one character says in a singsong voice—"rags and tatters, rags and tatters." You will see him lose his identity ("You are now called Platt," he is told, a declaration punctuated by a slap across the face) as he and his fellow travelers are stripped naked and sold by an auctioneer (Paul Giamatti) as if they were livestock ("He'll grow up to be a fine beast"). You'll see children separated from their mothers, how a "nice" master (Benedict Cumberbatch) is still a master nonetheless, and how other slaves must go about their business while one of their own hangs from a rope, his toes brushing the ground just enough to keep him alive. You'll think that Platt/Northup is well on his way to being systematically broken, and then you'll meet Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender), our hero's new "owner." And you'll realize you've really seen nothing yet.
Systematically is the key word here, and not just because Ejiofor's character must endure methodical round-robins of pain and humiliation. Though McQueen continues to work his themes of suffering and spiritual transcendence (his debut, 2008's Hunger, dealt with activist Bobby Sands starving himself to death in prison; 2011's Shame looked at a sex addict's attempt to kick the habit), this unflinching, unforgiving drama is not about a slave, but about slavery itself. Northup plays the violin and is considered a pillar of society when he's a Yankee—but when he becomes part of the machinations of slavery, none of that truly matters; even his musical prowess, which wins him small favors, gets him no closer to freedom. He is simply another black man enslaved. His ordeal is nightmarish, yet it was not an uncommon one—and that is what is truly horrific. Beatings, abuse, rape—and being complicit in perpetrating those things on others—were a matter of course, and the power that one race held over another ended up tainting and corrupting all parties. If 12 Years a Slave underlines nothing else, it's that this system destroyed everyone's humanity, from the hand that wielded the whip to the back that was scarred by it.
One side of that equation did suffer a dehumanization far greater than the other, of course, and regardless of what most folks may have read about the horrors of slavery, it is another thing entirely to see them presented in such a visceral manner. In watching the film's physical and psychic violence unfold across the screen, however, you never sense that McQueen is trying to show off his filmmaking virtuosity or use these realistically re-created historical horrors to, say, add an edginess to a pseudo-cool pomo exploitation film (no names mentioned). Instead, there's a sense of honoring what so many Americans were forced to go through during a very, very dark period in our history, of trying to make a modern audience feel the weight and burden of an ancestral experience. In one of those odd confluences of timing, McQueen's movie opens after two other films this year—Fruitvale Station and Lee Daniels' The Butler—that examine race in America from numerous angles, measuring strides taken and distances to be covered. Here, we are shown the beginning of that journey, and bear witness to the hurt acquired along the way. There's a moment near the end of 12 Years a Slave where Ejiofor glances away from the horizon and directly into the camera; the look in his eyes conveys a legacy of anguish and several generations' will to survive. More than a century has passed since the events depicted onscreen. Yet in that second, as you sift through your own feelings of sorrow and rage, the movie does not feel like it's about the past at all.

An powerful and intriguing period piece. Beautifully directed by Steven McQueen, 12 Years a Slave paints an elaborate story about survival and slavery. With powerful performances across the board, this movie hits us like a bus with compelling details and realizations about slavery. This will a big Oscar winner and will snag some Oscars for the amazing performances included in this movie. The movie will be remembered for a long time and it finally gives us an altercation from the regular, blockbuster movies and gives us a stunning piece of act. This movie is a must-watch today and will be for years to come.
Excellent movie and as the author above described it. It was very disturbing to watch, yet I feel there was an obligation to watch. It was never preachy or in your face- simply the reality of our country's history. In terms of ratings, I suspect Meshach is using his bogus issue that someone has done this movie before as a reason to lower the ratings on this article and movie. Don't fall for it. This movie is awesome. Besides, there are countless stories, including many Shakespeare plays, that have been re-told over and over. Yet, the quality of the retelling is more significant than the actual retelling. And this retelling is of very high quality.
This is easily one of the best movies I have ever seen. Wonderful direction from McQueen, incredible acting by nearly all.
This movie was already done before in 1984 starring Avery Brooks called 'Solomon Northrup's Odyssey' by American Playhouse . . .

Look, maybe you've had your pocket picked a few times and are really paranoid about losing your wallet. But you're not Julian Assange and I doubt anyone is coming after you, so you probably don't need this biometrically secured wallet.
The Dunhill Biometroc Wallet combines a biometric finger reader with a bluetooth alarm and carbon fiber frame to ensure noone can crack into it without destroying it. If you have the Bluetooth alarm activated, the wallet will sound an alert anytime it is more than five feet from your phone.But the damn thing costs $825 and it's not even that great looking.

Ideal solution for Core-Shell electrospinning
The sealed coaxial needles are manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel and are assembled entirely by a laser welding process to guarantee maximum geometry precision and high levels of cleanliness in order to eliminate any risk of contaminating the solutions. Thanks to the manufacturing material, it is possible to spin any type of polymer, even with the most corrosive solvents, at a temperature up to 120°C in standard configuration.
Two standard versions are available with two or three concentric layers, which can be customized upon request. These needles are very compact and make it possible to create high productivity configurations, since they can be assembled in parallel up to tens of units thanks to a simple, solid mechanical structure and the distribution of the solutions through standard Luer Lock or UNF connections. The rear threaded hole permits both the fastening to the support structure and the stable connection of the high voltage.
The sealed coaxial needles can be integrated with the Starter Kit, with the RT Collector, and with the RT Advanced that have a number of pumps per syringe equal to the number of layers used.

On A Positive Note: Boulder nonprofit wins More magazine's Job Genius Award
The Boulder-based nonprofit BeadforLife is the winner of More magazine's 2012 Job Genius Award and will use the $20,000 prize to expand its mission of helping impoverished Ugandan women to change their lives through their own hard work, creating markets for their bead jewelry and shea butter beauty items.
The announcement appears in the magazine's December/January issue, which is on newsstands now.
Ten organizations that are creating jobs for women took part in the competition, with the winner selected by votes cast on the magazine's website.
"Thousands voted and BeadforLife came out on top, earning $20,000 to help Ugandan women overcome extreme poverty, disease, war and hardship by empowering them to rebuild their lives," notes BeadforLife executive director Devin Hibbard. "Impoverished Ugandan women achieve this through their own hard work rolling beads to create jewelry, harvesting shea nuts for butter to create beauty items and ultimately, launching their own businesses that will sustain them into the future.
"If we can educate a new woman to expand her business, that is the greatest gift we can offer, as it will sustain her family into the future," Hibbard adds.

Hello peeps!
I've been working on a programmer for Microchip PIC 8-bit microcontrollers that uses the GPIO connector and a simple hardware interface. All in all, it has reached a state where it's usable so I thought I'd write a page about it and put it online. Here's the link if you're interested: http://holdenc.altervista.org/rpp/ .
Any feedback is highly appreciated!

It is interesting (to me, anyway) to note the similarities between different kinds of non-rational belief, and the way in which they seem to hang together. After all, if you're willing to suspend skepticism long enough to accept a Palestinian carpenter walking on water (at least when he's not turning it into wine for some reason), why would you suddenly throw up the logic shields when someone talks to you about the big evolution "hoax" being perpetrated by a nefarious cadre of high school biology teachers?
In the same way, if you're going to take the word of medical expert Joe Mercola when it comes to vaccines, then why would you think that psychics and tarot cards are nothing but silly superstition? After all, they both have the same amount of evidence supporting them.

At times like these I think that laughter might not necessarily be the best medicine, but it sure is a handy innoculation.

Defender Chad Marshall's job is preventing goals, not making predictions.
But the two-time MLS Defender of the Year knows how the Crew's elimination game at Colorado on Thursday (10 pm ET; TSN 2, watch LIVE online for free) will end if they play as poorly from the onset as they did last week in Chicago.
"We knew the situation going into Chicago and we came out flat," he said of the 3-2 loss in a game that, had they won, would have meant second place in the East and no appearance in the Wild Card round. "If we come out the same way we did against Chicago and the last few times in Colorado, then we're done."
The Crew have been shut out in their last three visits to Dick's Sporting Goods Park, including 1-0 in last year's first leg of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Rapids went on to win on penalty kicks in Columbus after the two-game aggregate goals series was tied at 2-2.
Marshall said there has been a theme to their failings at Colorado.
"We can't come out with the same mentality we've had there the last few times or we're going to be in for a long offseason," the Crew captain said. "I don't think the energy's been right. We've come out slow, making mistakes on the ball in bad spots and giving them dangerous opportunities. That's what cost us."
He doesn't believe the mile-high altitude that saps oxygen is the cause for the lethargy, but coach Robert Warzycha thinks being 5,280 feet above sea level might be causing his players to conserve energy at the start.
"It could be because you're always thinking about the end of the game, the last 10-15 minutes," he said. "Maybe that's the case."
The goal is to start fast and improve on a league-low nine goals in the first half. The Crew were an MLS-best 9-0-0 when scoring first but led only four times – winning them all – when ahead at halftime.
Another concern is remedying the lax defense that allowed Chicago a pair of early goals in last week's loss.
"Teams are scoring goals that are every easy," Warzycha said. "With a little more anticipation we could have avoided a lot of them.
"We have to be more aware on the field; talk and help each other," he added. "That's a simple thing to correct because it's not fitness. It's not attitude or anything else. It's just communication."
The Crew will be hampered by the red-card suspension of center midfielder Emmanuel Ekpo, who developed into an effective two-way player this season.
Replacement options include Danny O'Rourke, Tony Tchani and Rich Balchan. Or Warzycha might use Dilly Duka in Ekpo's spot and return wide midfielder Robbie Rogers to the starting lineup.
"We took a big hit in losing Manu, and we're going to have to readjust," goalkeeper William Hesmer said. "I think that's been a big problem for us as far as keeping consistency in the lineup."
His teammates have downplayed revenge for the way the 2010 postseason ended and Duka, who in his second season is making his first trip to Colorado, said such a large turnover in the roster this year makes it a non-factor.
"We have a lot of newer guys," he said. "We want to start something new and something fresh by starting off with a playoff win."

Glick picks on Hick
Martin Short as Jiminy Glick interviewed Mayor John Hickenlooper on stage during his show at the Paramount Saturday night.
The Mayor, welcomed to thunderous applause, told Glick that he once owned several taverns and as a result of this he was responsible for introducing a lot of couples.

You can ask the adult Sunday School class that I co-teach. Lots of times we dive into the topic for the day, hit lots of key questions, then I pop the question at the end of the lesson: "How do we make this real for our kids?" That's the kicker! Sometimes we learn things on one level as a student but having to teach a concept to someone else is a different story. One of those questions is, "How can I teach my kids about love?"
I think the answer starts with showing our kids a glimpse of what unconditional love is like. I say a glimpse purposefully because I get a bit squeamish when I think of all my imperfections. I may intend to show my kids love but by the end of the day I hear them saying, "Dad, why are you so grumpy?" It is difficult not to feel like a failure in that regard.
No matter the mistakes we make, thankfully, we all have a Heavenly Father who loves us in such a remarkable way. He sent His own Son to die for us! That is true love. Communicating God's love to your child is the best possible thing you can do as a parent! Take time this month of love to communicate how much you and God love your child!

Cook Children's Home Health only treats newborns, children and adolescents, so of course it is our specialty. We will be there every step of the way to ensure that your child is getting the correct medication through the best medical equipment. Our staff works with families to create a treatment plan that is unique to your child and his/her condition and surroundings. Cook Children's Home Health will be there to:
Phototherapy is the process of using light to eliminate bilirubin, a substance that is produced when the liver breaks down old red blood cells. Physiological jaundice, caused by an elevated bilirubin level, is the most common cause of newborn jaundice and occurs in more than 50 percent of babies. Babies have an immature liver, so bilirubin is processed slower. An initial sign that your might have jaundice is a yellow skin tone. Through phototherapy, your baby's skin and blood absorb the light rays and change bilirubin into products that can pass out of their body.
The length of time for phototherapy treatment can vary from one baby to the next, as each condition is different. Your health care provider will prescribe the amount of time your baby will need each day.
Most babies have phototherapy treatment for several days. Your baby's bilirubin level will be tested during treatment, usually by a small sample of blood taken from the baby's heel. These tests will determine when normal levels of bilirubin are reached and phototherapy is no longer needed.
Phototherapy in the home can be provided in multiple forms.
Are there side effects of using phototherapy?
Babies under any type of phototherapy treatment will have frequent and loose bowel movements that are sometimes greenish in color. This is normal since this is the way the body removes the bilirubin. This will be temporary and should stop when treatment is completed. Contact your doctor if it persists after treatment is completed.
Can my baby sleep on a biliblanket?
Yes. Your hospital will outline the schedule for your child's treatment. However, the biliblanket can be used 24 hours a day for as long as necessary. With this convenient form of phototherapy your child can be diapered, clothed, held and nursed during treatment.
Why is my baby's skin 'bleached or reddened' where the biliblanket pad has been in contact with the skin?
The skin in direct contact with the pad is the first area where bilirubin is broken down. This breakdown process is not harmful; in fact, it contributes to the treatment of your baby and causes this portion of skin to turn to its normal color. As the treatment process continues, bilirubin is removed from the blood and the rest of the skin. As the bilirubin is lowered to acceptable levels, all of your baby's skin will return to its normal color.
Will my baby be rotated on the pad to treat all of his/her skin?
No, only a small portion of the bilirubin is in the fatty tissue of the skin. The majority of the bilirubin is in the blood. The circulation of the blood will bring the bilirubin to the lighted area where it will be broken down. It is important that the plain lighted area of the covered pad, the area without writing, is against the baby's skin at all times during treatment. Clothing can then be applied over the system.

PCI DSS Compliance
Security of payment card data is crucial in the online world. The standard to protect card data is the
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)
. This is a joint venture between Visa and Mastercard, supported by all banks.
Compliance with this standard is compulsory for all merchants who accept payment cards. You must be PCI DSS compliant if you handle, process or store payment card details either on computer or on paper. Broadly speaking, PCI DSS covers rules about encryption and protection of card data from hackers, but it also has rules on physical security of your buildings.
There are severe penalties if card information is compromised as a result of non-conformance with PCI DSS. As part of your agreement with your acquirer, you agree to these penalties. If you are discovered to be non-compliant, but have not lost card information, you may be fined or may have your percentage charge increased drastically until you become compliant.
Who is responsible for complying with PCI DSS?
The responsibility for PCI DSS compliance rests with you, the merchant and your card acquirer. If they have not already done so your card acquirer will be taking steps to ensure your compliance. Suppliers such as Actinic or SagePay are not responsible for your compliance.
How do I become PCI DSS compliant?
You can become PCI DSS compliant in one of two ways:
Use Actinic Payments or an alternative payment service provider (PSP). Your customers and employees only ever enter card details into the site of the PSP. That way, the PSP does most of the worrying about compliance and you are left with some straight-forward actions. Actinic strongly recommends this route. Actinic Payments is PCI DSS Level 1 certified.
You can try to make your infrastructure compliant yourself. This is complicated, difficult and expensive. For the majority of small businesses, achieving proper compliance will probably not be practical or cost-effective. Actinic is unable to help merchants achieve compliance through this route due to the inherent risks and costs involved.
Are Actinic software products PCI DSS compliant?
All Actinic software products when used with a PCI DSS compliant payment service provider (PSP) such as Actinic Payments are either immediately PCI DSS compliant or can easily be made so.
If card details are captured at the merchants site then you are not PCI-DSS compliant.
Am I truly
PCI DSS compliant
The confusing thing about PCI DSS compliance is that it is possible for the bank (or the bank's recommended security company) to imply that you are compliant when you are not. If you look at the small print you will find that it's you that is stating you are compliant, not any third party service.
True compliance i.e. where you would pass a proper audit of the standard, is almost impossible for a small company to achieve unless a compliant Payment Service Provider (PSP) is used.
Although you may pass a security scan, if your security is compromised the banks will check everything, and anyone who stores card data, whether using Actinic or another system, will end up by being declared non-compliant and will then be fined and forced to follow the most stringent rules.
It is also important to consider that the activities of hackers. They can now be organised gangs of criminals targeting companies who store card data. As the big guys get more on top of things, their attention is moving down the market.
Therefore, because of the threat from hackers and the impossibility of properly securing servers without spending huge amounts of time and money, our position is that no small business should capture card data on their site and they definitely shouldn't store any card data. Instead they should use a PSP for web orders so their servers never see the card details. It's the quickest, safest and cheapest way of becoming compliant.
Can I capture card details and re-key them into my PDQ machine?
It should be noted that card scheme rules state that each of CP (card holder present), CNP (card holder not present) and ecommerce payments are required to be flagged separately. If you take card details online through a PCI DSS compliant system, but then manually re-key them into a CNP PDQ machine, you will not be compliant with card scheme rules and 3D Secure cannot be supported. This is why Actinic does not supporting such configurations.
If you wish to pursue this route, follow the standards at
Note that even if your buyer enters their payment details into a page on your website and then passes them to a PCI DSS compliant PSP, your website must still be fully PCI DSS compliant, as you are collecting the card details and passing them on. This is because any compromise of your website could lead to a rogue third party being able to acquire the card details.
What paperwork do I need to complete to become compliant using a PSP?
If you only take card payments for ecommerce orders using the web page of a compliant PSP, your website does not need a security scan, although it is still good practice to do one. You are SAQ validation type 1, and need to complete SAQ form A.
Details of up-to-date SAQ forms can be found at:
If you use a compliant PSP to capture all card data, when completing your SAQ tick "Yes" and simply put the name of the PSP in the "Special" column for the requirements that are fulfilled by the PSP (so for Actinic Payments you would put "Via Creditcall", who provide our service, in the "Special" column).

Rep. Jim Kerr and Austin Powers — Quiet!
Rep. Jim Kerr's admonishment to a witness to "Shut it!" during a committee hearing Wednesday evoked memories of Austin Powers and his "Zip it!"
The witness, Kimberly Bodin, a nurse in the Department of Corrections, testified on HB12-1321 and HCR12-1001, measures to modernize the state personnel system. She said Kerr wanted to take away her pension benefits, a reference to Kerr carrying legislation opposed by the Public Employees Retirement Association.
Kerr is a Littleton Republican who chairs the State Veterans & Military Affairs Committee. Here's the exchange between the two, as reported by Rocky Mountain Community Radio.
(A hat tip to Joe Hanel of the Durango Herald for remembering the scene in the Austin Powers movie.)

The concept of losing weight quick that will have been gradually gained over many years isn't solely foolhardy, it might preferably be unhealthy, and possible to be unachievable and therefore ultimately 'de-motivating'. Therefore one in all the simplest recommendations on losing weight is, to reiterate, be sure to line realistic targets and you will get long-term results, plus maintained weight loss motivation!

Make: Asks is a weekly column where we ask you, our readers, for responses to maker-related questions. We hope the column sparks interesting conversation and is a way for us to get to know more about each other.
This week's question: When and how did you find out about Maker culture? Whether it was through MAKE or some other avenue, how did it make you feel when you made this discovery?
I was hanging out with some geek friends of mine about five years ago and was trying to hash out a plan for a guitar pedal. One of them went into the other room and slapped a copy of MAKE on the table and said "here, try this." That was the moment when the world of makers unfolded for me.

TNA Tag Team champions The British Invasion vs. The Motor City Machineguns
Doug Williams and Chris Sabin started the bout with Sabin getting the better of him with several mat moves and takedowns. Alex Shelley tagged in, as did Magnus.

One hell of a fun opener. This was good stuff from bell to bell. Magnus has to be one of the most improved wrestlers of 2009.
Some Notes: They have a lot of yellow Hulk Hogan shirts in the Arena, including right across from the hard camera...I popped for the Kermit the Frog color green ropes in honor of X-Mas.
Mike Tenay and Taz, in their new announcing position, talked about how important 2010 is going to be for TNA and pushed the 1/4 Impact special and Hulk Hogan debut. They discussed the PPV card.

ODB tried to kick Tara before the bell but was caught. Tara began firing away on her. ODB charged Tara in the corner but was caught by the Tarantula. Tara nailed a slingshot legdrop into the ring.

She said she thought the peak of her career was beating Kong in the Cage but this was what it was all about. She sounded like she might break down. They showed an angry ODB watching from the ring.
They aired a promo for the 1/4 Impact special.
Feast or Fired Battle Royal
The match featured Samoa Joe, Kevin Nash, Jay Lethal, Consequence Creed, Kiyoshi, Rob Terry, Cody Deaner, Sheik Abdul Bashir, Beer Money Inc., Homicide, Eric Young.
Creed pointed out his mom and dad as he walked around ringside. Nash had a new valet named Brittney, who they said won Nash's forgotten valet contest. Everyone started brawling. Due to the nature of the bout, a play by play is useless, so I'll only note major occurrences.
They noted a rumor that Young told the other members of World Elite not to go for any of the briefcases but Bashir was trying to get one. Deaner fought him off. Taz admitted Deaner had been off the radar in TNA of late.
The fans were really behind Samoa Joe as Joe beat down Young outside the ring. Lethal Consequences worked over Homicide with their double team maneuvers.
Davari and Deaner battled over a case, which fell to the floor. Deaner grabbed it but Daivari pulled it free and nailed him with it. Bashir was announced as the recipient of the first case.
Rob Terry grabbed a second case. Eric Young looked upset. Kevin Nash and the others surrounded Terry. Beer Money hit the ring and jumped them. Beer Money nailed Young with a double suplex. Homicide came off the top but was caught by Roode and catapulted into a Storm DDT.
Nash took out Beer Money and retrieved a third briefcase.
Lethal Consequences battled with Samoa Joe. Creed hit a missile dropkick on Joe. Roode took out Creed. Young piledrove Roode. Lethal went to the top for the last case but Homicide leapt to the top rope and nailed an Ace Cutter off the top rope. Deaner went to get the case but was kicked to the floor by Joe.
Samoa Joe retrieved the last case.
So, the winners are:
Jeremy Borash came to ringside and said we will find out right now who won what prizes in a few minutes.
Christy Hemme interviewed Kurt Angle and TNA champ AJ Styles. Hemme said that Desmond Wolfe claimed he's going to end Angle's career. Angle said Wolfe has his head up his a** and he won't be ending his career when Angle has so much unfinished business to attend to. Styles commented that Angle was real subtle and said Angle will get his shot and get it soon. There's your tease for 1/4. Styles said that tonight he was going to finish off Daniels and then, he'll take care of his unfinished business.
They played dramatic music as Jeremy Borash opened the first briefcase for Kevin Nash. Nash won a TNA Tag Team championship shot.
Samoa Joe was next. He wins a TNA championship shot. Joe vs. AJ sounds good to me. Joe looked at the camera and said, "I told you!" and looked intense, before he leaves.
They opened the final two briefcases at the same time. Bashir had a big smile on his face. Rob Terry won an X-Division championship shot. Bashir was fired. Bashir was pissed and threw both cases down. Borash wishes him the best in his future endeavors. Tazz claimed it wasn't part of the show.

We've seen a number of matte-black camera cars before, but never a Panamera. This one even has a little tail gunner hatch in the back and we can't get over how cool it is.
The car was spotted by a Rennlist reader in LA last week. We want one.
We're not sure what company uses this Panamera for filming, but it looks like it was wrapped by Premier Wraps in Hollywood. Their site describes the build.
Here's the latest matte black wrap that's come out of our shop. A Porsche Panamera. What makes this Porsche unique is that it's used for movie shoots. They call it a camera car. There's a rack that bolts to the roof that hold a 16′ boom with a camera on the end. The inside of the car has been modified so a camera operator can operate the controls where the back window use to be. You're probably thinking a $160,000 Porsche, really? Ya, we thought the same thing. Because of the high horsepower engine, the racing suspension and the big brakes, the Panamera makes a perfect chase car. It can hold the extra weight of the boom, camera and equipment. Has the brakes to stop all that extra weight, the power to get that much weight up to speed to capture the perfect shot. Wrapping it matte black makes it less likely to give off reflections that would other wise show up in the shot. Only in Hollywood.
While this car might be exclusive to Hollywood, we still want one. The weird hatch makes the car not only more practical, but more attractive, too.

New research from UAB identifies two genes that may play a role in insulin resistance, opening a new avenue for researchers searching for treatments for Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. In findings published this week in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, the UAB team found that two genes, NR4A3 and NR4A1, seem to boost insulin sensitivity in muscle tissue.
Insulin lowers blood glucose, or sugar, by moving it from the bloodstream into skeletal muscle where it is metabolized for energy or stored for later use. Type 2 diabetes results from either a shortage of insulin or from de-sensitized muscle that does not respond well to insulin, allowing elevated glucose levels to remain in the blood stream. The latter is called insulin resistance.
Our findings show that these two proteins help sensitize muscle to insulin, promoting glucose uptake and thus keeping glucose levels within healthy limits, said Timothy Garvey, M.D., professor and chair of the Department of Nutrition Sciences at UAB and the lead investigator of the study. This gives science a new target for diabetes research by suggesting new pathways for drug development that will help boost the presence or activity of NR4A3 and NR4A1.
Garvey and colleague Yuchang Fu, Ph.D., assistant professor of nutrition sciences, also found that both genes were under-expressed in animal models with diabetes, leading to increased insulin resistance.
In simple terms, the abundant presence of these proteins in the body is a positive factor for avoiding diabetes, while their absence is associated with increased incidence of the disease, Garvey said. By better understanding the biologic underpinnings of the disease, we can begin to find novel therapeutic targets to decrease insulin resistance.
Garvey said the next step will be a methodical search of promising molecules that may interact with and promote the presence of NR4A3 and NR4A1.
There are more than 20 million Americans living with diabetes, 7 percent of the population. According to the National Institutes of Health, the incidence of diabetes is likely to increase due to the aging U.S. population and to the prevalence of obesity in America, both of which are risk factors for diabetes.
According to recent estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes will affect one in three people born in 2000 in the United States. The prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in the United States is expected to increase 165 percent by 2050. Diabetes is widely recognized as one of the leading causes of death and disability in America.
