While I was skimming the cream from my incredibly delicious raw milk from Bread & Butter Farm this morning, it occurred to me that I had too much milk. We had been drinking less than usual this past week, and it appeared that I had now accumulated about a gallon and a half over the past 10 days. Something had to be done. Normally I would just make a quick batch of ricotta and call it done, but I was feeling like I should do something different this time and settled on making one of our favorite snacks these days: string cheese! For those of you not in the know – string cheese is simply mozzarella shaped into long rods, usually they are in 1 oz. sizes. These, alas, wouldn't be wrapped in fun cartoon-laden easy-to-open single-serve plastic sleeves, but I planned on enjoying them just the same!
I entered the world of cheesemaking like most friends of mine (excepting, of course, the professional fromagers I happen to know), through the Ricki's Cheesemaking Kits. These are more and more available in grocery stores and cooking supply shops, but when all else fails, you can buy them online. OR. You could pull together your own cheesemaking kit with a few easy supplies:
- thermometer that reads up to 200°F
- cheesecloth
- citric acid
- rennet tablets OR
- liquid rennet
- large bowls
- fine-meshed strainer
OK, now you're ready to make some cheese! I had only made mozzarella one time before with mixed results, but decided that today was the day that I would master it and add fresh string cheese to my repertoire. Time to make me some string cheese! Luckily for me, it was simple, fun, and incredibly tasty! On to the super-simple steps:
First step: add 1½ teaspoons citric acid to a 5 or 6 quart pot with ½ c. cold non-chlorinated water. I just used the filtered water on the door of my fridge. Swirl around until citric acid is dissolved.
I get my citric acid from our local homebrew store.
Next, measure out 1 gallon of milk, and add it to your pot with the citric acid water.
Put citric-acid-water-milk on stove on medium heat.
While your milk is heating, get your rennet ready – I use liquid rennet, usually found in the yogurt section of my grocery store. It is vegetarian (made from cardoons, an added bonus for this cardoon lover, I tell you!). If you use liquid rennet, you will be using ¼ teaspoon for the 1 gallon of milk. If you end up using rennet tablets, crush up ¼ tablet in ¼ c. of water.
When your milk has reached the magic number of 88°F, take it off the heat, and stir in your liquid rennet or rennet mixture.
Stir it for about 30 seconds to make sure it is distributed evenly, then let sit for 8 minutes. If desired, while stirring, I would add 1 tsp. of salt at this time to give the cheese some flavor. I wish I had done that with this batch.
Using a long-bladed knife, cut up the curds. Your knife should reach all the way to the bottom of your pot.
Should look like this when you are done.
Time to take the curds off the whey! with a slotted spoon, ladle all the curds off the whey, and don't worry about busting up the curds too much. This will help them release the whey, which is what you are trying to do.
This is the whey leftover from the curds – before squeezing the curds out. As you can see, by volume, there is about ½ curds, ½ whey in this project – pretty interesting, I think.
At this stage, you have 2 options. If you have a microwave (I do not), put your curds in a bowl, in the microwave, on high for 35 seconds. If you do not have a microwave, fill a bowl with boiling water, and submerge the curds in that fine-meshed sieve in the hot water.
Heating the cheese makes it pliable, which is nice because you have to knead it like dough to get that classic stringy texture. I have found that you can let the cheese sit in the hot water for as long as you need to with no drawbacks. I am salting the cheese here – unsuccessfully – I would definitely do it in the aforementioned step instead.
Kneading the cheese. Just like dough. If it stiffens, just toss back in the hot water, or in the microwave for another 35 seconds.
Once pliable enough to break into nice pieces, you can start doing that – I wanted them fairly uniform, so I weighed mine out to 1 oz. each.
Then, I started the process of rolling them into shape. I kept dunking them back into the hot water bath to soften them for rolling out. This step is just like making playdough snakes!
As each stick is formed, and you've decided you are done rolling each one out, you can chill the cheese in a bowl of cold water. I just roll them out, shape them, then toss them in the cold water to firm up until I'm done with all the mozzarella sticks.
Sticks cooling
My recipe made 15 beautiful string cheese sticks, each around 1 oz. The recipe mentioned that a gallon of milk should make about a pound, so I am happy with this result.
I gotta say – I am thrilled with the stringy goodness that I created today! My only critique is that I would definitely salt it earlier. This batch is a little bland, but definitely edible.
A couple of things I forgot to mention:
- When making cheese, please use good hygiene. All tools and hands should be extremely clean. It would be so sad if all your efforts resulted in bad bacteria contamination and your hard-earned cheese went bad before its time!
- The recipe above is directly taken from the instructions for homemade mozzarella in Ricki's Cheesemaking Kit. Please support her and her efforts to get everyone making cheese at home!
- I am storing my string cheese in a plastic zip bag in the fridge for now. I am not sure if we can down nearly a pound of string cheese in a few days, but if all else fails, we DO have Super Bowl coming up this weekend… do I smell homemade fried mozzarella sticks, anyone?
- I am going to try making bocconcini next time, and marinate them in olive oil and spices for future cheese plates.
- It is clear that I have far too little milk now that I know how to make cheese!
- Thanks for letting me give a shout-out to a great jam band from my native Colorado – THE String Cheese Incident rocks, by the way.

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (Reuters) - Three New Jersey police officers were shot and wounded on Friday at their police station, and one was in surgery for his wounds, a hospital official said.
Local TV news reported that the suspected gunman was killed in the exchange of gunfire at the police station in Gloucester Township, New Jersey, about 16 miles from Philadelphia. The TV report said the suspect had been brought in for a domestic incident.
"A violent struggle occurred while the suspect was being processed," Gloucester Deputy Police Chief David Harkins said, according to Philadelphia TV station NBC10. The man was able to grab a gun and then opened fire.
The gunman was killed by police during the confrontation, Gloucester Police Chief W. Harry Earle said, according to the NBC10 report.
Gloucester Township Police declined to comment on the incident or to confirm the NBC10 report. An officer answering the phone said a press statement would be issued later, and a press conference was scheduled for Friday afternoon.
The three wounded police officers, two men and a woman, were brought to Cooper University Hospital shortly after 6 a.m. EST, hospital spokeswoman Lori Shaffer said.
Two of the officers suffered minor wounds, but one of the three, a male, required surgery, Shaffer said. She had no more information on the extent of the officer's wounds.
Part of the Gloucester Township municipal complex, which houses the police department, was cordoned off by yellow police tape on Friday. Residents described it as a quiet community.
"It's really a safe neighborhood," said Kim Kavanaugh, 47, who lives across the street from the complex with her husband and two grown children.
Her husband Don Kavanaugh, 49, said he arrived home from his overnight work shift about 5 a.m. "About 6 o'clock I saw a bunch of flashing lights. I didn't think nothing of it, I see flashing lights in and out of there all the time," he said.
The incident follows several recent multiple shootings in the United States, and comes two weeks after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 children, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
One week ago in western Pennsylvania, a man with a pistol fatally shot three people and then opened fire on police. Three officers were injured in that incident, one in a collision from a car chase with the gunman, another from bullet fragments to the face and a third who was struck with gunfire to the chest but survived because he was wearing a bulletproof vest.

I spent a couple of hours earlier at the Solent Overlord Military Show 2010 at the Horndean Showground.
Organised by the Solent Overlord Executive, a group of military vehicle enthusiasts, this annual show brings together hundreds of military vehicles from the Second World War to the modern era – plenty of WW2 jeeps, half-tracks (includking a German one), several guns, a host of Land Rovers, Bren Gun Carrier, a Scimitar light tank, and an FV432 Armoured Personnel Carrier. There was even a Rapier Unit to provide anti-aircraft cover![
It obviously takes real dedication to own and run a classic military vehicle. Obviously something like a WW2 military jeep is going to be harder to maintain than a Ford Focus. But there is usually something pretty redoubtable about a Jeep or a Land Rover. Military vehicle enthusiasts are a dedicated bunch. The only comment I would make, is that too few vehicles had any kind of information. I suppose I come from a museum background, but when I eventually get my Land Rover I will set up display boards about it, its history, the equipment, markings, and such like.
They might seem a bit nerdy but these kinds of shows are certainly popular, especially with the kids. And you can always see people huddled around vehicles, inspecting each others work and swapping notes. Throw in a host of military surplus stalls to rummage over, a beer tent and arena events and you've got a pretty good day out. And whats more, any surplus income from the show goes towards a suitable military charity, this year the Gurkha Welfare Fund.
Have a look at my flickr album of pics here – let me know if you can help identify any of the vehicles, or if I have made any mistakes!

Murphy, Rangers outslug Tigers
Arlington, TX – David Murphy stroked a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth and the Texas Rangers won a slugfest, 11-8, over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday in the finale of a four-game set.
Texas recorded 18 of the 31 total hits for the game, which featured five lead changes and saw Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera hit three home runs for just the second time in his career.
Murphy's blast off Jose Ortega (0-1) represented three of the 10 runs scored for Texas between the fifth and seventh innings, with the left fielder finishing 2-for-3 with four RBI and two runs scored.
Adrian Beltre had four hits and knocked in a pair of runs, while Lance Berkman and Mitch Moreland had two RBI apiece to help the Rangers take three of four in this set and collect their 12th win in 16 games.
Robbie Ross (2-0) tossed a scoreless seventh inning to pick up the win and Joe Nathan locked down his 13th save in the ninth.
Despite knocking in five runs and going a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate, Cabrera was unable to keep the Tigers from dropping their eighth contest in 12 tries.
Neither starter made it through five innings, with Texas starter Derek Holland getting tagged for four runs on eight hits and needing 106 pitches to get through 4 2/3 frames. Detroit's Doug Fister lasted just as long, giving up five runs on nine hits.
"You have to tip your hat to the guy," Holland said of Cabrera. "The guy is swinging the bat hot right now. You have to give a lot of credit to him."
After serving up homers to Cabrera in his previous two at-bats, Texas chose to walk the Detroit slugger in the sixth and load the bases for Prince Fielder. The move didn't pan out, as Fielder ripped a bases-clearing double into the gap in left center to put the Tigers back on top, 7-5.
The lead didn't last for long, though, as Murphy came to the plate in the bottom half with two men aboard. He pulled Ortega's 3-2 pitch into the seats in right field and supplied Texas with an 8-7 advantage.
"We just made some horrible pitches late in the game," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said. "We felt like [Ortega] was perfect for that spot. We were a little bit short, obviously."
Ortega continued to flounder, as he gave up another run after loading the bases and surrendering an infield hit to Moreland. Center fielder Andy Dirks prevented the inning from getting any worse, as he made a spectacular over the shoulder catch near the wall on Geovany Soto's fly ball to end the inning.
The Rangers added some insurance in the seventh off Detroit reliever Phil Coke. Leonys Martin led off the frame and his bloop into left went for a double after a misguided diving attempt from Matt Tuiasosopo. Leury Garcia reached with a sac bunt and Elvis Andrus' groundout put runners on second and third before a sac fly from Murphy and an RBI single from Berkman pushed Texas' edge to 11-7.
Cabrera stayed perfect at the plate and launched his third homer and second solo shot of the game with two out in the eighth, but the Tigers were never able to get any closer than three runs from there.
After Tuiasosopo got thrown out at the plate in the top of the second, the Rangers grabbed the early edge in the bottom half on a Moreland sacrifice fly.
Holland gave up three straight hits to start the third, with Cabrera ripping a three-run blast into right to stake the Tigers to a 3-1 lead.
Cabrera's next turn at the plate came in the fifth, and again made the most of it. On the eighth pitch of the at-bat, he slugged another homer off Holland, this one to straight away center, to give Detroit a three-run cushion.
Texas then roared back in the bottom half with its first of consecutive four- run innings. After pulling within two on an Andrus groundout, Murphy drew a walk to put runners at the corners and Berkman laced a two-out RBI single. Beltre then put the Rangers in front, 5-4, when his shallow fly ball dropped just inside the third-base line for a two-run double.
Game Notes
Fister has surrendered 19 runs and 28 hits in 13 2/3 combined innings over three starts at Texas ... Cabrera extended his road hitting streak to 17 games ... The last time Cabrera hit three homers in a game was a May 28, 2010 contest against Oakland ... The Tigers were just 3-for-14 with RISP ... Texas placed infielder Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday and recalled infielder Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.

Ever wonder what us illustrator types do in our spare time?
Click for full size.
Commission piece. It was chartered for Storm but I hadn't drawn any Skrulls in a while so they got in.
Get this: I lost the piece while scanning and carrying a bunch of other stuff. Dumbass. At least I have the scan. I'm recreating it.
These are a few more explorations of classic characters. I'll be posting more of these a few at a time. While I'll never work at Marvel/DC again, I still enjoy these original characters. I stuck Hank Pym into one of these pieces twice, once as Ant Man and the other as Giant Man. I just wanted to draw both of these characters. -t.
Here's some new stuff. Just pushing forward with everything I know how to do. -t.
Hey all,
Here's a relatively new one anyway. New Silver Surfer and Galactus. The Silver Surfer has always been one of my favorite characters and I know I'm not alone in that. Enigmatic, tragic, powerful – one of the best from the legendary Kirby/Lee era. Enjoy!
These are rough line-art with PITT pens. Not my usual but I enjoy them. The finishes will be up when the lines are thickened/adjusted and the blacks are placed. There is always a bit of sadness in losing the pencils to the inks and the ink lines to the blacks. Se la vie
I may write more about this in the future but I want to put something down about it now.
In a nut shell, the politics in any group endeavor is present but especially in the will-nilly-silly world of entertainment; it is pernicious, petty and persisting. The egos are small and brittle and without reprieve, merciless once excited. Over the years I've seen a lot of falling-outs in comics and have, to my recollection, never seen one patched up. Once injured, they never get over it.
Think of it as High School with ashtrays and legal beer, or the 13th grade. "Who's Hot, Who's Not."
Marvel and DC are private parties. By invitation only. In unguarded moments they'll even put it in those terms. Talent, how hard you work, deadlines missed or made, all of it, aren't the most important thing. It's the connection with some one who can/will invite you to the party. If I listed the top (and I mean top) people who can't work at one or the other of Marvel or DC you wouldn't believe it. Top talent. Think of the best guys you'd like to see on titles but haven't for some times years. The reason probably is something like I'm describing. In the future I may go ahead and list some of them.
In comics, between Marvel and DC, there've only been about 30 people give or take who can authorize a living wage for working mainstream artists. That is if your goal is to work high profile with broad promotion for the project and your work. At any time, most freelancers have only 1 or 2 of these people in his corner to send them work. And God help them if they ever get 1 or 2 of these people on their neck over something real or percieved. It can poison the well for them at both companies.
To anyone coming into this business of comics, stay out of the offices as often as possible. Don't move to New York, Los Angeles, San Diego or anywhere else for the work. If your stuff is up to quality you can make it right from the town you live in, the farm in East Jesus or any other place where your best interests lay. Keep your house, your spouse and children where they are. The cities mentioned offer nothing that will add to your work or your chances.
Also, move cautiously at conventions if you choose to attend. When you do attend (I still do myself, though rarely) stick with people you already know and those you percieve to be at what you guess to be your own level of accomplishment, for the most part. Status is relative and all of perception in the business. Without trying, offense is imputed or percieved sometimes merely by seeking to make acquaintances above your station.
I haven't attended cons with any frequency in most of the last 20 years. They can be fun and enthusing, especially the fans. The pit falls of the offices are lessened here but still present.
When I started in this business, it was still recommended to move to New York. When I did, it was exciting and the city is wonderful but the trade off is the contempt of the office-goers that your familiarity can breed. This doesn't always happen. Accept what I write merely as a cautionary.
I'm not alone in this experience of the "community." In recent interviews where I lay out some detail on the matter I've later been contacted by artists from the same 10 years or so when I started work and they've confirmed and encouraged the description of things then as I have said. Some of them were contracted with the companies and did quite well under the Shooter reign and others. Nevertheless, they agreed with me as to the treacherous environment.
Things and persons have no doubt altered since that time. But my small contact with Marvel and DC in the last 10 years have not deminished my wariness of the liablities.
It's the best job I or any one else could ever have. But it's a lousy business at the staff level.
For a more about this see this interview completed recently. There are a couple of more coming out shortly:
Materials for comics (for me): after years of experimentation the only paper I use is Strathmore Bristol 2 ply, smooth finish; 2H pencil (wooden), preferably Japanese Tombows; Windsor-Newton Kolinsky brush, Series 5, size 3 round; Ink, used to be FW but it's changed and most varieties are too thin to be really fun these days so whatever's on hand will usually do; points, nothing short of the classic Gillott 1290, the "Cartoonist's Point." For touch-ups I use the full array of PITT pens; size B (the brush) for small fill-ins and adjusting thicknesses from the 1290 and the other PITT pens for small faces, figures and some details, also BGs and rigid forms even if they're soft/rigid like vehicles, furniture, etc. Sometimes the 1290 does that job too but it depends on the piece and the feeling desired.
No coincidence that most of this stuff comes from England.
While I enjoy and have a great time with mechanical pencils and drawing with the point of any pencil, my primary method is with the side of the pencil using the famed kung-fu-artist-grip.
This allows for a greater range of tone and thick-and-thin in the line. It also frees the artist to draw from the elbow, not only the wrist. It takes some adjustment in technique but with some practice and experiment it reveals itself to be excellent. I render even very small figures and details this way. An added benefit is it promotes a gentler attack on the paper resulting in less fatigue in the hand.
I do miss that bump on my middle finger from the old scribe's pencil grasp. The bump from where my pencil always registered while drawing was usually stained grey from graphite and reminded me at all times what it was I would rather be doing no matter the current engagement.
I worked with a few inkers over the years, some quite good but even in the best arrangements something of the original intent and liveliness of the pencils was lost. Sometimes for the better but mostly a loss of what was promised in the pencils. Most artists will lament that the pencil is superior to the inks in any event even when they themselves do both jobs. For myself, tackling both is the best way to follow the image through to completion.
Over years I worked frustratingly for a method to translate the pencils into at least some faithful version with ink. There was lots of bad drawing and good drawings wrecked by bad inks. Often I inked on sheer vellum, tracing the original pencil drawing because I knew the inkse were going to kill it. Eventually I settled on a few impliments and a hand full of techniques that seemed to most perfectly sustain the subtlty and warmth of the pencils.
While I'm in among a large group of artists in that no ink job will match the aching and transporting beauty of a pencil rendering, I'm quite sattisfied with the combination of tools and techniques for ink that I solved for.
I could go on from these few ideas, they're spring-loaded like snakes from a trick can but this'll serve as a starter.
I've continued to experiment and enjoy the process. The results are surprising and pleasing once I adjust my expectations from the fantastic Gillot 1290. The Scatter Cat pages are mostly with the PITT pens and the difference is notable. I intend more of this. The ease of using these permenant India Ink pens facilitates speed, too. I averaged about a finished page a day. Unfortunately, most prospects for paying work expect the Gillott 1290 look in the finishes so I'm still primarily working with that.
I'm working on more full color stuff and developing a lettering style, inspired by purists like James Romberger, Erik Larsen, James O'Barr and others. The page looks more fully a comic page with the lettering on it. -t.
Sorry for the long delays in posting. Been busy with some new projects (more to come on that shortly).
Here's some sketchbook stuff I had squirreled away. Hope you enjoy it.
Iron Man, The Punisher and more. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Now – back to work!

Yeah,so anyways,I just decided to dump most of the Lineart I did for another site here and see what you guys think about it. The Lineart here is for three factions all of whom are completely unrelated,a 2500-era nation called the Bajireyn (Who would also be my brikwars faction if I didn't give away all my lego two years ago), the Desert Rangers a group of post-apoc survivors and finally,the Auroran Empire ,a bunch of steampunks.
First up we have the Bajireyn MK7A2M Modular Armored Chassis.
Bajireyn Marines (Yes,they are based on those guys from Halo),still mostly a WIP.
An attempt at doing a scene
A Veteran Ranger
Some basic Infantry.
Some steampunk guys.
It should be noted that almost all of this stuff is a WIP.

Armored Cars: Driving with an Extra Dose of Security
Most cars in the showroom today offer a number of innovations and safety features. However, in some cases, certain people need to take their security up a notch. From prohibition-era gangsters to the pope and the president, these are some of the most notable armored cars to ever hit the streets.
Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac
As the oldest known armored passenger car still in existence, Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac is the granddaddy of them all. According to CNN Money, Capone's Caddy features roughly 3,000 pounds of bulletproof steel armor, as well as inch-thick bulletproof glass windows and a rear window that folds down, supposedly so passengers could shoot guns out the back. But Capone's Cadillac wasn't just designed for assault; it was also painted green and black, just like Cadillacs that belonged to the Chicago police department at the time. This Cadillac also had a police siren and flashing red lights behind the front grill, as well as the first known police scanner installed in a private vehicle, which allowed the gangster to monitor police activity.
Reportedly one of three similarly-equipped Cadillac sedans, rumor has it that President Franklin D. Roosevelt used one of Capone's Cadillacs for transportation after it was seized by the federal government. According to Yahoo, FDR continued to use the car until a 1939 Lincoln V12 armored convertible limousine, known as the Sunshine Special, was delivered for presidential use.
Pope Benedict XVI's Mercedes-Benz M-Class
Until 1978, the pope used to be carried in a chair, or sedia gestatoria, when he went out in public, but automakers have been making special limousines for papal transportation since the early 20th century. The first "popemobiles" were used by Pope John Paul II, which initially included modified FSC Star, Ford D-Series and Mercedes-Benz trucks. However, a number of different makes and models have been used in different countries.
Today, Pope Benedict XVI is most frequently seen in a modified Mercedes M-Class SUV, which features a special glass-enclosed room built into the back of the vehicle. Pope Benedict sits in a special chair, where he's raised into the glass box by a hydraulic lift. Security features on the modified M-Class include bulletproof glass in the windows and roof, as well as armor on the side panels and underbody.
The President's Cadillac One
For security reasons, the Secret Service put the brakes on revealing too many details about Cadillac One, according to car-culture enthusiast blog Jalopnik. However, General Motors has released a few details on the presidential limousine. Cadillac One sits higher off the ground than previous presidential limos for improved visibility, and features an executive compartment with ample seating and mobile office features. On the outside, Cadillac One is fitted with LED spotlights which illuminate its fender-mounted flags at night.
Although it looks similar to a Cadillac DTS sedan, Cadillac One is reportedly built on a four-wheel drive GMC Topkick truck platform. There's been widespread speculation on Cadillac One's security features, which are said to include 5-inch-thick bulletproof glass, military-grade ceramic armor and cell phone jammers. In reality, however, Cadillac One's special features are only known by the Secret Service and the small team who designed it.

Cmutel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
We are a small startup trying to make it possible to do environmental assessments of goods and services over the web, in a pleasant and easy fashion.
Traditional tools are difficult to use and install, ugly, and confusingly rigid. We believe that web technologies allow us to do more, more quickly, and at less expense for companies. We need a logo that communicates our core values: that we promote sustainability, that we allow companies to understand and improve their supply chains, and that we simplify complex environmental processes. One interesting possibility would be a simplified supply chain, which is just a graph with edges and vertices.
We are not interested in anything which is too stereotypical of environmental services companies, e.g. a strong green palette, a leaf.
The logo will primarily be used on our web page, and will be displayed at both large and small resolutions (in the application page, it is small and at the top left-hand corner).
Small to medium size businesses that are interested in making environmental assessments of their products, and who are interested in new technologies and approaches to integrated environmental information. In general, we are targeting a new market, as these are companies that can not afford to pursue a traditional consultant-based environmental assessment for cost reasons.
Our color scheme uses the following colors:
Red: #CE0000
Blue: #128DEB
Light green: #E4F199
Darker green: #ABC607
Light grey: #CDD6DB
Darker grey: #586B7A

Spectral karyotyping (SKY) is a laboratory technique that allows scientists to visualize all of the human chromosomes at one time by "painting" each pair of chromosomes in a different fluorescent color.
Many diseases are associated with particular chromosomal abnormalities. For example, chromosomes in cancer cells frequently exhibit aberrations called translocations, in which a piece of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to the end of another chromosome. Identifying such chromosomal abnormalities and determining their role in disease is an important step in developing new methods for diagnosing many genetic disorders.
Traditional karyotyping allows scientists to view the full set of human chromosomes in black and white, a technique that is useful for observing the number, size and shape of the chromosomes. Interpreting these karyotypes, however, requires an expert, who might need hours to examine a single chromosome. By using SKY, even non-experts can easily see instances where a chromosome, painted in one color, has a small piece of a different chromosome, painted in another color, attached to it.
SKY involves the preparation of a large collection of short sequences of single-stranded DNA called probes. Each of the individual probes in this DNA "library" is complementary to a unique region of one chromosome - together, all of the probes make up a collection of DNA that is complementary to all of the chromosomes within the human genome.
Each probe is labeled with a fluorescent color that is designated for a specific chromosome. For example, probes that are complementary to chromosome 1 are labeled with yellow molecules, while those that are complementary to chromosome 2 are labeled with red molecules, and so on.
When these probes are mixed with the chromosomes from a human cell, the probes hybridize - bind - to the DNA in the chromosomes. As they hybridize, the fluorescent probes essentially paint the full set of chromosomes in a rainbow of colors. Scientists can then use computers to analyze the painted chromosomes to determine whether any of them exhibits translocations or other structural abnormalities.

Project Inform's Position on When to Start HIV Treatment
May 2010
Project Inform is concerned that nearly half of all HIV-positive people in the United States do not know their HIV status or have not engaged in care and treatment that could prolong their lives and prevent new cases of HIV infection. We believe this results, in part, from a lack of understanding of the benefits of treatment, the fear of side effects of HIV drugs, the need for support services to make care and treatment possible, fears about disclosure of HIV status, and the belief that care and treatment services are unavailable to low-income people.
Although researchers continue to gather evidence regarding the optimal time to start treatment, federal guidelines have shifted in favor of earlier treatment. These guidelines allow for varied interpretation by HIV providers. In this document, Project Inform -- a trusted provider of HIV treatment information for 25 years -- presents its position regarding HIV testing, when HIV-positive people might consider engaging in care and treatment, and important considerations for starting care and treatment.
Project Inform has developed this position from current study results and expert opinions. We encourage all individuals to consult with their medical providers to make informed and cooperative decisions about their health. The information found in this paper is intended to support, but not be a substitute for, the relationship with these providers. Please email us with any questions regarding this document.

Putting the drug companies' research to the test
The Irish Times - Saturday, September 29, 2012
MARK HENNESSY, London Editor
Millions of drugs are being prescribed every day on faulty evidence, claims a new book on the pharmaceutical industry
THE FIRST medical test recorded is recounted in the Bible, when Daniel, imprisoned by Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon, refused orders to eat the food and wine from the king's table. Instead, he demanded that the Jews brought from Jerusalem should eat only fresh vegetables and drink fresh water and then be compared with those who ate the king's offerings. "At the end of the 10 days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food," Daniel 1:12 records. Two thousand years on, the writer, doctor and journalist Ben Goldacre believes the example has much to recommend it.
Following his success with Bad Science, a book that sold 400,000 copies, Goldacre has turned his attentions to the world's pharmaceutical industry in Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients. The public believes that drugs are tested over years in carefully-run trials before being prescribed by doctors familiar with the research that led to their creation. Much of that image is a fiction; drugs are often tested against placebos filled with sugar, or against drugs that have been shown repeatedly not to work, while results are often manipulated, says Goldacre.
However, Goldacre moves to dispel myths of "cartoonish evil", or conspiracy theories of the "they have the cure for cancer, but they won't tell us" variety. "This is not just a book about bad people. In fact, it is possible for good people, in perversely designed systems, to casually perpetrate acts of great harm on strangers, sometimes without even realising it.
"Drugs are tested by the people who manufacture them, in poorly-designed trials, on hopelessly small numbers of weird, unrepresentative patients," he writes.
Academic papers "are often covertly planned and written by people who work for the companies without disclosure", while many diseases are ignored because the potential rewards of developing a treatment for them are insufficient.
Regulators have failed miserably, with the European Medicines Agency worst of all, refusing, as it does, to publish information gathered, it says, in the interests of transparency.
Pressured by lack of money, governments could be about to make the situation even worse by giving pharmaceutical companies a greater role in deciding on patients' treatment, he warns.
"Companies are perfectly entitled to conduct seven studies, but only publish the two positive ones, and this behaviour is common-place," he writes.
"Because so much trial data is withheld from patients and doctors, we can have no clear idea of the true effects of the treatment that we use every day in medicine."
Some of the problems are created by the ties of friendship. "If you are a regulator, who can you talk to about your work at the home, or in the pub? Nobody will understand it.
"So you end up having more in common with people you know who are working for pharmaceutical companies' regulatory departments," he tells The Irish Times, sitting in the lobby of a London hotel. "If you are a young doctor, you go to the drugs company's dance in the hospital. Your colleagues are going, so you want to fit in. And there'll be nurses there."
Years later, the drug sales reps call to clinics, pushing one new product over another, with doctors unable, on the flimsy evidence available, to decide which is best for patients.
Goldacre points to the case of Tamiflu. "Governments around the world have spent billions of dollars to stockpile this flu drug in fear of a pandemic. Yet the evidence on whether it reduces the rate of pneumonia and death is being withheld right now, to this day," he says. adding that its manufacturer, Roche, "said completely different things in different jurisdictions".
Vioxx, a painkiller that provoked multi-billion euro lawsuits, was tested against an older drug to see if it was less likely to cause stomach problems, but also more likely to cause heart attacks. However, the test did not run for long enough for the heart attacks to appear, so the results were skewed and the data gap was never declared clearly in subsequent publications.
"If the raw data on patients was shared, games like these would be far easier to spot, and people might be less likely to play them in the first place," he contends.
Regulators get too close, leaving them "reluctant to take [a drug] off the market in case it is seen as an admission of their failure to spot problems in the first place".
Even if regulators are prepared to act, other problems appear. In 2008, the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Agency in the UK published a note in its Drug Safety Update, a little-read journal. Statins, used by tens of millions to lower cholesterol and prevent heart attacks, had been shown, it said, after a review of clinical trial data, to cause adverse reactions in some. Patients should be made aware that "treatment with any statin may sometimes be associated with depression, sleep disturbance, memory loss and sexual dysfunction," it said.
Very rarely, statins might be associated with interstitial lung disease, a serious condition, it went on. The public note to doctors was to be made in February 2008.
In end, the note did not go out until November 2009. Why? Because one drugs company "did not agree with the wording", a fact that was not revealed by the agency, but, rather, by a medical journal.
"So, a drugs company was able to delay the inclusion of safety warnings on a whole class of drugs prescribed to four million people in the UK for 22 months because it didn't agree with the wording," says Goldacre.
Nevertheless, he remains hopeful of change. "I think this could be like the MPs' expenses scandal, where things that were seen as normal changed when it came into the light." .
Three things motivate people, he believes: shame, violence and love. "I believe that shame is a very powerful motivator. If people are given clear explanations they will demand change."

Distance Learning | News
Wellesley College has joined edX, the online learning program started in May by Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The private women's institution, the first liberal arts college to participate in edX, will offer four massive open online courses (MOOC), known as WellesleyX, when it launches fall 2013.
"Wellesley is ready to contribute our liberal arts perspective to help shape online education, particularly as colleges work to figure out how to bring the small classroom experience to the online learning landscape," said H. Kim Bottomly, president of Wellesley College, in a statement released today by edX. "This is a grand experiment, and what we learn will benefit Wellesley students as well as students all over the world."
The courses, taught by Wellesley faculty, will be offered at no charge to any students with access to an Internet connection. Wellesley joins MIT, Harvard, Berkeley, and the University of Texas system in this initiative.

Mahābharata, Ramayāna, etc., these great epics are written classical Sanskrit.kalden yungdrung wrote: - Would be the books from the Hara Krishna written in Vedic or Sanskrit or a mix of both?
Vedic Sanskrit is the language the Vedas are written in. These texts are quite ancient, and the brahmins claim they have no author, they are self-manifested.- What is then the difference between Vedic Sanskrit and Sanskrit ?
It dates from the great classic of Sanskrit grammar written by Pāṇini, sometimes in the 6th century BCE.- What is formal Sanskrit?
The somewhat artificial term "Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit" is the language of the sutras and tantras from India. Most of these tantras have legendary origins in Oḍḍiyāna as well.So when io understood it well then is there a great difference between Sanskrit and Sanskrit so are the related translations.
Very difficult to get insight into the right translations here due to the many Sanskrit languages.
From an academic point of view, even one beleives the Dzoghen tantras were largely written in Tibet rather than India, etc., they articulated the teachings in terms of a terminology predicated on Sanskrit and for example, the Rigpa Rangshar has a whole chapter devoted to terms which are presented in an Indic form, such as dhātu for dbying and so on. Therefore, since these texts cleary reference Sanskrit, keys terms are better backtranslated.In case of Indian Dzogchen, understandable that you do prefer Sanskrit instead of Tibetan, because of the exact used Sanskrit terms.
In terms of bon texts, I beleive it is better to use Kuntuzangpo and rigpa. Also bonku, longku, etc. However, since these terms identical to usage in Buddhism, also there is no fault of the Sanskrit equivalents are used.

Buffett Moody's stake may have plunged $292 million on S&P suit
Bloomberg News
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, owner of the largest stake in Moody's, may have lost almost $300 million on the holding this week as shares of the credit-ratings company plunged.
Moody's, the second-biggest provider of credit ratings, dropped 19 percent through Wednesday after larger rival Standard & Poor's said on Feb. 4 that it could face a U.S. lawsuit over inflated mortgage-bond ratings. Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire held 28.4 million Moody's shares, or about 13 percent of the firm, as of Sept. 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Berkshire remained Moody's biggest shareholder even as Buffett, 82, pared his stake from 48 million shares in 2009. He told the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in 2010 that Moody's wasn't alone in missing the collapse of the housing market and that he invested in the business because of the pricing power it gets from its "natural duopoly" with S&P, a unit of McGraw-Hill.
"He believes it's a good business with a wide economic moat and he's held onto the position for quite some time," Tom Lewandowski, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co., said Tuesday. He generally looks at such occasions as opportunities "to increase his stake."
Moody's tumbled $10.26 this week, the biggest two-day drop in almost four years, but it rose $2.40 to $47.49 in trading Wednesday. If Berkshire continues to own the same number of shares that it did at the end of September, the value of its holding in Moody's dropped by $291.5 million. The shares still have climbed 17 percent in the past 12 months.
Financial Crisis
The U.S. is seeking as much as $5 billion in penalties from New York-based McGraw-Hill as punishment for inflated credit ratings that Attorney General Eric Holder said were central to the financial crisis. While Moody's wasn't sued, a victory by the government would spur other lawsuits, according to Robert Piliero, a lawyer at Butzel Long in New York who's worked on structured-finance litigation.
Michael Adler, a spokesman for New York-based Moody's, declined to say whether the company may face a U.S. lawsuit. Buffett, Berkshire's chairman and chief executive officer, didn't respond to a request for comment sent to an assistant about whether the S&P lawsuit has changed his view of Moody's.
Buffett, in a 2010 Bloomberg Television interview ahead of a scheduled appearance before the FCIC, said Moody's had lost some of its competitive advantage.
`Bulletproof Franchise'
"What was once a bulletproof franchise may not be bulletproof," the billionaire said at the time. "It's still quite a franchise."
Moody's made the same error as competitors and investors in assuming that housing prices couldn't fall nationwide, Buffett said. "They made big mistakes, but who didn't during the housing bubble?"
Other top Moody's shareholders include Vanguard Group, ValueAct Holdings And Capital Group Companies, which also was the largest owner of McGraw-Hill as of Sept. 30, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
McGraw-Hill shares plunged 23 percent this week, wiping out almost $4 billion of market value.
David Einhorn, who runs the New York-based Greenlight Capital hedge fund, said in a May 2009 speech that he was betting against Moody's because ratings are "shunned" by investors. Einhorn, 44, declined to comment for this story.
Berkshire stock has gained 9.5 percent this year as Buffett's larger equity bets rallied. He has accumulated stakes exceeding $13 billion in both Coca-Cola and International Business Machines, and each stock has advanced more than 5 percent since Dec. 31.

BASSO Bikes
Basso, the Veneto framebuilding company that is celebrating 35 years, has launched a new website and new models. They have also added a brief section of history:
The meeting between Alcide Basso and the world of professional road cycling happened very early: as a child he had the good fortune to live in a family where day by day he saw how his brother developed to become a world champion, Alcide himself then competed at a high level as an athlete whilst forming an even stronger passion for the sport, he now continues as the creator of winning bikes for those who, like him, love cycling so much they make it an important part of their lives.
The force that pushes the company Basso to search for innovative solutions is the true tradition of Italian cycling, where the history of cycling is alive and runs every day in the passion of its characters. One of our first creations, the Gap, was a bicycle dedicated to a Basso of the past, Alcide's brother, who won the World Championship in 1972. Since then, "Basso racing bikes" is the goal and the faith behind each and every one of our new products.
"For the bicycles that bear my name I use only the best materials, mainly derived from the aerospace industry, which are developed and engineered specifically for bicycle use. With these materials we have created the new Diamante, the Astra and the Laguna, all capable of outstanding performances. Every customer must have the certainty to receive a bike that is 'tailored for him' in every detail and component. By having the best tool, controlled with extreme care by our technicians, each individual can achieve their best possible performance."
Alcide Basso
This photo shows Alcide Basso (right) with Sante Pogliaghi:
"Sante Pogliaghi was one of the acknowledged masters of post war Italian frame builders. He was sought after by top Olympic and Professionals alike. While his track bikes, both solo and track are most famous, he also made superb road bikes. Sante passed away in the mid 1980s and the rights to manufacture frames under his name had been passed to Marc Rossin, then to the Basso brothers. Bikes from the 1970s and earlier, made by Sante himself, are highly prized by knowledgeable collectors." (Source Pogliaghi chapter in "The Custom Bicycle").

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea, Episode 2 Trailer: Familiar Faces
Fresh off of the drill-tip ending of BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea, Episode One comes a preview of Episode Two entailing Elizabeth's part of the tale. Unfortunately, it looks as if Elizabeth is off to a very poor start when it comes to her quest in looking for dear, little Sally. Luckily, she's got Booker to help her.
Irrational Games has just released an exclusive preview for Episode Two of its Burial at Sea downloadable content for BioShock Infinite. Burial at Sea first put players in the baptismal boots of Booker DeWitt as he ventured down into Rapture. Looks like Booker really does have bad luck with water because, for now, Elizabeth will have carry her weight of the warfare. As you would expect, this underwater dystopia doesn't really match its descriptions in the travel brochures. Irrational's preview features a video which continues past the ending of Episode One as Elizabeth finds herself being held captive by someone fans of the original BioShock are going to be glad to see. Well, maybe.
Burial at Sea, Episode Two puts you in the Elizabeth's shoes as she encounters splicers, bouncers and the other dangerous inhabitants of Rapture just before it completely goes to hell. We anticipate that Elizabeth will play differently than Booker, offering a more direct sense of control when it comes to managing her Tears in time and space to alternate realities.
While an official release date hasn't been set, Irrational Games claims that this continuation of BioShock Infinite's Burial at Sea DLC is coming soon.

What do we know?
1. Disney, Haskel and Heden document that 50% of productivity growth in UK manufacturing over a decade is driven by the batting average effect of entry and exit of high and low productivity firms respectively.
2. The FT have a recent feature, with some interesting work cited from the Bank
"The Bank of England recently lent the theory some weight, pointing out that about 30 per cent of companies were lossmaking in 2010, a bigger proportion than in the 1990s recession, yet corporate insolvency rates during this downturn have been much lower than in previous ones."
3. The ONS have an important new paper looking at changes in firm productivity up to 2009, using their very comprehensive data. Since they have access to the company register, this is a very large sample of firms.
Their data suggest there may be something to the Zombie view. The figures below shows , for market services , the average productivity of firms in the lowest and highest quartiles of the labour productivity. There is a fall in 2009 and a hint that the lower tail of firms are lower in those years than before. Note that before the recession the upper tail had been widening. So the recession seems to have cut off the very highest performers and lengthened lowest tail, widening the productivity distribution.
One thing that is very puzzling however, is that small firms in market services are much more productive than large ones as their Figure 3 shows (size class 4 are above 250 and class 1 below 20).
And the averaging effect is shown here:
This shows that over the 2000s most employment growth was in the low productivity firms (Quartile 1). the left hand bars, which should have retarded productivity. So what's going on? My guess is this: large service sector firms employ likely a lot of part-timers (e.g. large retailers). So per labour hour they are more productive, but per employee as shown here, less so. Thus the interpretation of Figure 42 is that the sorting effect has beeen working in the 2000s to raise true productivity since its been working in favour of the large firms. So what's been happening in the recession? In 2008 and 2009 it looks like the smaller firms, that is the right hand lines, are gaining employment relatively more than the larger ones. That is, the left blue line is lower relative to the right hand lines. This agains suggets the sorting effect is working less well.
More puzzles but credit the ONS for using their considerable data resources to try to figure out this problem.
