Interfacing Carbon Nanotubes with Biological Systems: From Biosensors to Cellular Transporters
Published on
This talk will discuss two relatively new topics in carbon nanotube research. The first is nanotubes for chemical and biological sensors, an exploration motivated by the ultra high surface area of single walled carbon nanotubes and the need for label free electronic detectors for a wide range of molecules in gas and liquid environments. I will discuss the fabrication of nanosensor devices, chemical functionalization schemes for imparting selectivity and the physical mechanisms involved in the detections. The second topic is about interfacing carbon nanotubes with living systems. I will show our recent observation of carbon nanotube internalization into living cells, and nanotubes as carriers for transporting proteins inside cells. The implications of these results will be discussed.

Name: Mary Comiskey
Last seen: In van on country road near Parachute
Investigative agency: Garfield County Sheriff's Office
Date missing: Dec. 17, 2005
Status: Missing under suspicious circumstances
Suspect: none identified
Mary Comiskey was a troubled mother of two young kids when she disappeared from a country road in rural Garfield County several miles from Parachute on Dec. 17, 2005.
What is most agonizing about the mystery is that a few key witnesses in the case including those who last saw her alive that dark, snowy afternoon have never been interviewed by Garfield County Sheriff's deputies, according to family members.
"I'm the lead detective," said Mary Comiskey's aunt, Peggi Comiskey, only half in jest.
She claims investigators in the case only interviewed some of the witnesses years after Mary Comiskey's disappearance when she recommended they do so.
Tanny McGinnis, spokeswoman for the Garfield County Sheriff's Office, said Mary Comiskey's case is considered a missing person's case, possibly involving foul play. She said it remains under investigation and disputes that it hasn't been a priority.

In 1999, we received an irresistible commission from Michael Bierut at Pentagram: to design a typeface for Lever House, one of New York's most significant architectural landmarks. In a neighborhood of skyscrapers designed simply to warehouse the maximum amount of rentable real estate, Lever House is a rare building with thoughtful urban values, featuring a grand public colonnade, a welcoming sculpture garden, and an enormous setback that showcases that rarest of midtown luxuries: the sky.
The typeface we created was an airy sans serif, patterned after the existing lettering on the building's Park Avenue window, and related to the style of its cornerstone inscription. The project revealed some interesting discoveries about the way architects use capital letters, and how a typeface designed specifically for architecture could serve designers especially well. A decade after completing the project, we set about creating a collection of decorative variations inspired the material and environmental qualities of buildings: the interplay of structure and surface, the effects of shadow and light, and the transformative power of perspective. Bringing typographic qualities to mechanical forms turned out to be a formidable challenge, but a fascinating one, ultimately absorbing our designers for more than a year. The result is the family of four new typefaces that we're delighted to introduce: Landmark Regular, Inline, Shadow, and Dimensional.

Curiosity Really Starts to Click
Aug 9, 2012 10:17 AM PT
Nasa's Curiosity rover has begun satisfying the curiosity of mission scientists by sending high-quality images of Mars' surface back to Earth. Although it's only had since Sunday night to collect data, following its touchdown in the Gale Crater, Curiosity has sent a batch of snapshots that are already allowing the NASA team to garner a good deal of information.
The rover's first pictures show where its hardware -- including the sky crane, a parachute, a heat shield and a back shell -- landed, giving scientists new insights about the Martian surface.
"Next to the rover, you can see where the rocket thrust blew away some of the soil and revealed a harder material underneath," said Mike Malaska, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory solar system ambassador. "That tells us that the firm material layer might not be very thick."
The rover wheel itself also helps scientists better gauge Mars' topography.
"The wheel is resting on the surface -- it hasn't sunk in at all -- so the surface must be pretty firm," Malaska explained. "It looks like the materials are a pretty uniform size. That's also a clue that it has been geologically sorted -- maybe either by wind or water in the past."
Images from Curiosity show a massive mound in the distance, dubbed "Mount Sharp," as well as dark dunes that scientists guess are made of volcanic sands. The plan is for Curiosity to explore the dramatic scenery as its mission progresses.
Looking for Life
Towering higher than Mount Ranier, Mount Sharp stores layers of rock and minerals that have accumulated over more than 2 billion years. Scientists handpicked the Gale Crater for Curiosity's mission because the massive rock layers at Mount Sharp can give the best clues about the water -- and possibly life -- that may have existed in Martian history.
"Curiosity's mission is to look for signs of one of the most significant things imaginable -- signs that life exists or has existed somewhere other than Earth," said James R. Webb, professor of physics and director of the SARA Observatory at Florida International University.
"Astronomers have known for many years that Mars used to have a much thicker atmosphere and that it undoubtedly had surface water, lakes and rivers," Webb told TechNewsWorld.
Now, liquid water would evaporate immediately on the surface of Mars, he said, but beneath its permafrost and polar ice caps, water still exists. Scientists knew that much about Mars before Curiosity's mission, from previous images gathered by orbiting crafts.
Curiosity will sniff around the planet for more clues about past Martian life -- although that life probably won't look like anything out of a sci-fi film, according to Webb.
"Curiosity is a large, car-sized rover which is fine-tuned to search for signs that Mars once, or perhaps still, supported some form of life," he noted. "If life did arise on Mars, and if evolution had the same pace on Mars as it did here on Earth, only single-celled creatures would have had time to evolve before Mars lost its atmosphere."
Curiosity is geared to explore that possibility of life over the course of its mission, transmitting clues about the planet's past back to Earth, little by little.
"As the mission progresses, we'll climb up that layer stack and read the stories in the rock like chapters in a book, one after another," said Malaska. "Each rock layer will give us clues how Mars developed. We'll start at the bottom, which are the oldest layers, and work our way upwards towards younger deposits."
Curiosity's Thrilling Arrival
The relatively relaxed photo-snapping follows what was perhaps the most grueling episode in Curiosity's adventure so far.
After traveling for eight months through space, the craft had just seven minutes -- dubbed the "seven minutes of terror" -- to touch down in a never-before-tried landing strategy called the "Skycrane maneuver."
Many of the landing's technical challenges hadn't been used before, but everything worked smoothly.
"This engineering success paves the way for the next and future missions," said Malaska.
Living Up to the Hype?
Curiosity's landing was unique in that it generated buzz even outside the world of science and exploration. It was broadcast through a live online stream, and also for the general public on large screens across the country, including at Times Square for a crowd that didn't seem to mind the middle-of-the-night timing.
Simply launching Curiosity and mastering the landing at a time when initiatives from NASA are some of the first to get slashed due to budget cuts is a major achievement, said Webb.
"This mission is already a success on so many levels, some that have nothing to do with the actual science it will perform. It represents a success for NASA, an agency that is being starved for funds," he said.
The collective spirit surrounding Curiosity's mission is a triumph on another level, said Malaksa.
"From a human perspective, this is a wonderful accomplishment," he remarked. "It is really neat to turn on the news and see a bunch of people excited because we've done something magnificent that moves human progress and exploration forward. And it is a true 'we.' MSL Curiosity contains instruments from several nations, and the images are available to everyone through the Internet. We are watching exploration history."

At the end of a surreal week, even by Israeli standards, almost half of the country has been in the scope of rockets, targeted by Hamas. How did we get here and where are we going? Here's a theoretical discussion between the yin and yang of the Israeli psyche that concludes, unlike with most existential paradoxes, that there is a bottom line.POINT: The brutal terror assassinations of Gil-Ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrah and Naftali Fraenkel enabled Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to exploit the situation and go wild on Hamas in an attempt to weaken its presence in the West Bank.As a result, more than 400 of the organization's members, many of them released in the prisoner exchange for Gilad Schalit, continue to be held.

The police manhunt was raging for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when Trooper Mark Spencer flew his state police helicopter over a backyard on Franklin Street in Watertown.
Spencer's crewmate, Trooper Eric Mathurin, focused the helicopter's infrared camera lens over a boat in the backyard where the homeowner, a few minutes earlier, had noticed its covering was torn and blood-stained.
The police manhunt was raging for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev when Trooper Mark Spencer flew his state police helicopter over a backyard on Franklin Street in Watertown.
Spencer's crewmate, Trooper Eric Mathurin, focused the helicopter's infrared camera lens over a boat in the backyard where the homeowner, a few minutes earlier, had noticed its covering was torn and blood-stained.
From about 900 feet in the air, what Mathurin saw next in his monitor surprised him.
"It was like the plastic wasn't even there. I saw a perfect human silhouette. It was actually quite amazing," Mathurin said Friday in a briefing with reporters at the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing's hangar at the Plymouth Airport.
The crew could not confirm it at the time, but directly underneath them, Tsarnaev, 19, a sophomore at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, was hiding in the boat on the evening of April 19.
Before locating Tsarnaev, the crew had responded to a few false alarms of the suspect having been seen in the woods and underneath front porches. After receiving the 911 alert regarding the boat, the crew believed it to be a legitimate call.
Mathurin, an eight-year Air Wing member, entered the address into his computer's moving map system, which guided Spencer to the backyard within a couple of minutes.
Using the helicopter's state-of-the-art FLIR infrared camera technology — the kind used by the military in Afghanistan — Mathurin could see Tsarnaev lying in the middle of the boat, with his hands moving in the air. He appeared to be trying to look outside the boat, either at the helicopter or the police units on the ground, authorities said.
Unsure if the subject was armed, Spencer, the pilot, maneuvered the twin engine Eurocopter AS355 helicopter in a tight orbit as Mathurin kept the FLIR — or forward-looking infrared — camera positioned on the boat.
"We did feel a little bit like sitting ducks, but we felt as long as we kept moving, we were OK," Spencer said.
Meanwhile, Trooper Edward Fairchild, the newest member of the Air Wing, who joined the unit eight months ago, communicated with the police units on the ground, constantly updating them on the subject's movements inside the boat.
"It was intense," said Fairchild, who was challenged to monitor several busy police radio channels in his headset.
Mathurin said he had never before seen so many police cruisers' blue lights in any one location.
"This was probably the most unprecedented law enforcement environment I've ever seen," he said. "I didn't know Massachusetts had that many armored carriers."
Though the adrenaline was pumping, the crew's training took over. Spencer, a pilot with 11 years' experience with the Air Wing, focused on navigating through 16-knot winds — the gusts reaching 28 knots — while maintaining a steady platform for Mathurin to continue monitoring the subject.
"Everybody just did an outstanding job," Fairchild said.
After about three hours of circling the scene, the crew, with the fuel level running low, returned to Logan Airport. After they left, the police units on the ground moved in and seized Tsarnaev, who is accused of plotting and carrying out with his older brother, Tamerlan Tzarnaev, the bombings at the Boston Marathon on April 15. The bombings killed three people and injured more than 260.
Before being captured, police said the Tsarnaev brothers shot and killed MIT Police Officer Sean Collier and carjacked a man in Boston before engaging police in an early-morning firefight in Watertown, during which Tamerlan Tzarnaev was killed.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is charged with the use of a weapon of mass destruction and malicious destruction of property resulting in death. He was transferred Friday from Beth Israel Hospital in Boston to a federal medical detention facility at Fort Devens.
Despite the publicity and high drama of last week, the Massachusetts State Police Air Wing crew members said their training kept them focused during their mission.
"We were a small cog in a big wheel. ... We were at the right place at the right time," Fairchild said.
It was not until later, after they were told at Logan Airport that Tsarnaev had been captured, and as they were leaving Boston, did the gravity of the moment hit them.
"We just went, 'Wow,'" Fairchild said. "Wow."

Yamaha Motor develops exclusively, for every model, the complete intake system, including the air filter, to provide optimal air flow to the engine. This allows Yamaha to achieve the optimum engine characteristics for each model. It is therefore important to use Genuine Yamaha air filters to help maintain optimum engine performance.
Dust captured in any air filter causes a gradual reduction in airflow over the working life of the part, resulting in a loss of engine performance and poor fuel consumption. Genuine Yamaha Air Filters are designed in such way, so as to filter the air in the most efficient way, whist maintaining their flow rate, when compared with many after-market air filters.
Genuine air filters: a 'perfect match' to the engine!
Air filters elements differ greatly in shape according to design power, displacement, valve system, carburetor / injection system and intake passage. Other important factors that determine the filtering and filter life-time are humidity, temperature, dust substance, air quality and the ridingenvironment and Yamaha collates usage data in a number of countries and areas. Yamaha also conducts strict tests on individual engines and Yamaha air filters are designed to best suit usage, in the respective environments. Based on these tests, for example' machines intended for use in Greece – because of the dusty roads – and Switzerland – because of the mountainous terrain and higher altitude – may be equipped with different air filters. Only Yamaha, as the manufacturer, is placed to make a 'perfect match' of air filter and engine, taking all these different aspects into consideration.
Example of Intake Air System Developed Exclusively for the Vehicle
If we compare the YZF-R1 and FZ-1, which uses the same engine but have different design concept, we can see that the YZF-R1 supersport model is designed to provide sufficient air flow at high engine RPM, whilst the FZ-1 sport touring model has a lower power output and has been developed to operate more at the low- to medium-speed range. In the case of the former, the air filter case and air filter are large, whereas that on the latter is a completely different shape and smaller size.
Genuine air filters: outstanding filtering performance!
If you compare the Filter cross-section of the 3 filters in the pictures, you can see the effective filtration area of the Genuine Yamaha air filter is approximately four times that of the non-genuine air filters.

Given this information from his biography I searched for Leroy Kuhn and found that he had a membership in the Military Surgeon Association:
Yet another Google search yielded this gem from the History of Medicine and Surgery and Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago, 1922.
Army Medical Command (AMEDD). I had asked why I could find nothing on the term "Surgical Group." They explained that the peacetime Army medical structure (which was used upon our initial entry into WWI) was heavy on hospitals did not have the capability to push forward to be closer to the front. Thus the birth of Surgical Groups or Teams. The reason I couldn't find any information on Surgical Group No. 7 is that these groups typically were called "Teams."
However, numerous searches for Surgical Team No. 7 have yielded nothing. Presumably, Surgical Team No. 7 would have been attached to Hospital No. 7. I have found information on this hospital, but nothing about Dr. Kuhn. So it appears it is time to order his military service record. Records prior to 1950 are archival and are open to the public for a copying fee. They can be ordered here at the National Archives eServices website.

If stuff starts looking odd around here, it'll probably be because I'm in the middle of redesigning this site. I want to switch to a three-column layout so that the blogroll and categories are easier to access; I plan to redesign the logo (I just now noticed how much it cribs from the Imbibe logo); and I have other cosmetic changes in mind.
But that's going to mean testing design elements out on the live site, so if things shift about or just look weird, give me a couple of hours and I'll straighten it out.

Time to move on
One of the amusing ironies of the misguided attempt by a group of tea party Republicans in the House to defund the Affordable Care Act through a form of political extortion, is that news of the resulting government shutdown and near default ended up deflecting attention away from the troubled rollout of "Obamacare."
In the 36 states that chose the option of letting the federal government fully or partially run their health insurance exchanges - allowing individuals to choose among competing plans online - there were reports of serious and aggravating problems. In many cases the exchanges did not work, and some are still not working.
Interestingly in Connecticut, which chose to operate its own exchange - Access Health CT - the opening went fairly smoothly, with some problems, but not more than might be expected with the launching of any such complex program. Nearly 4,000 state residents signed up for insurance the first two weeks.
While national problems received media attention, it was dwarfed by the bigger issues of the closing of government services and the calamity global markets faced if Congress refused to lift the debit limit. After President Obama and Democrats stood firm in their refusal to abandon or delay the implementation of the health care program, Republican leadership buckled, agreeing to a plan to extend government spending and the debt ceiling for several months.
This situation exposes the most fundamental flaw among anti-Obamacare zealots. If the act is as flawed as critics contend, why don't they let it unfold? If their predictions of doom and gloom prove accurate, Obamacare will be so unpopular that Republicans will have a ready-made issue for the 2014 and 2016 elections, and ultimately gain the electoral victories they need to drastically alter or repeal the ACA.
The real fear, it seems, is that it will work, or at least set the expectation that government should play a role in helping assure that people have access to health insurance coverage. Even should Obamacare prove too unwieldy and costly, and fall short of its goals, the public will expect Republicans to come up with an alternative policy. No longer will it be acceptable to tolerate 40 million people without access to insurance.
Much of the opposition to Obamacare appears visceral. Republicans still chafe against the fact Democrats pushed through the ACA without any GOP votes and finalized it in the lame-duck 2010 session before Republicans, having won a majority in the House, could take control.
It's time to get over it.

Like many Hokkaido residents, Gregory Stewart is an avid sportsman who enjoys snowboarding, telemark and cross country skiing, hiking, paragliding and even ice climbing. Gregory has been living in Shihoro, Hokkaido, since 2005 working as an ALT Teacher, and I've known him for a few years, but just recently I found out he's been practicing yabusume, a traditional Japanese martial art that involves riding horses and shooting arrows.
More surprisingly, after taking up the sport for just a year, he became the Japan Yabusume Champion. Amazed, I met up with him to find out how it all happened.
First off, what is yabusume and how did you get into it?
I've been interested in martial arts since I was a kid. I did judo, some kung fu and a little aikido as a young man. I already had a vague interest in yabusume (traditional Japanese equestrian archery), because I'd been doing kyudo (Japanese archery) for a couple of years here in Hokkaido.
Someone told me there was an annual yabusume tournament in nearby Memuro, and I wanted to check it out, so I asked my Japanese teacher about it. She happened to know Hiroyuki Kawahara, the guy in charge of the tournament who also owns a horse ranch in the Hidaka area. My teacher asked Kawahara if I could come watch the tournament, but he asked if I'd be interested in participating in it.
At the time I was recuperating from an ice-climbing fall that messed up my shoulder and didn't think I could do it, particularly since the tournament was only four weeks away. I told my friend Adam Cook about it, and he was keen to join, so I went along to the horse ranch to see what it was all about.
The yabusume bows were a lot lighter than what I used in kyudo, and you didn't have to stretch your shoulders as forcefully so, swept up in all the excitement, I decided to give it a try.
"( Kawahara) lined us up on the yabusume track and told us when we dropped the reins, the horse would bolt. He advised us not to fall off."
I was not a horseman in any way, so I was pretty nervous about the riding aspect of yabusume. I figured there would be a gradual learning process, maybe leading up to galloping by the fourth week. However, Kawahara was having none of it. He lined us up on the track (馬場) and told us when we dropped the reins, the horse would bolt. He advised us not to fall off.
On our second or third gallop, he handed us bows and told us to try a shot at the target. My first shot missed completely, disappearing into the forest...that's where it all started.
Did it help being thrown in the deep end like that?
I think the only way to do anything is to go at it as hard as you can, so it was OK for me.
How did that first tournament go?
Not too well, actually. I didn't fall off my horse, an accomplishment in itself, and I got all my arrows fired off, which is one of the hardest parts of yabusume. You only have a few moments to pull an arrow out of your obi (belt), notch it on the string and draw the bow to shoot. This is made even more difficult while trying to maintain your balance, standing up in the stirrups as your horse goes full speed down the track.
It's common to still be trying to get your arrow on the string as you go flashing past a target and only firing one or two arrows instead of all three. Adam and I spent as much time practicing notching arrows as we did riding, and it really paid off.
The other big challenge in yabusume is absorbing the horse's up-and-down motion with your legs, thus keeping your upper body relatively still, so you can make an accurate shot. It's pretty tough to make a good shot if your upper body is bouncing up and down.
Adam was a more skillful and experienced rider than me, and he did really well in that first competition. He was tied for second place at the end and had a "shoot-out" ride to decide second and third place. He did brilliantly, but the other guy did just a little better.
I think good riding technique is the most important skill in yabusume since the shooting is at a pretty short distance. The winner that day was a woman who is a fantastic rider. There's also a pair of junior high school girls competing in the tournaments; they're both phenomenal riders and, once they get their shooting down, the rest of us might as well pack up and retire.
Where did you place in that first tournament?
I don't remember, but it was well down in the rankings; the same with my second competition in Hakodate. I was on a borrowed horse from another ranch which I had only ridden once before the competition, so I didn't have a chance to get used to his running style. My horse also arrived late, so I didn't get a proper warm-up. It really messed up my shooting. The Hakodate tournament was cool, though. They hold it on a little island sticking out into the harbor.
Fast forward and a year later you are the Japan Champion…!
The All-Japan Championship is held at a different venue each year, conducted concurrently with a local tournament. This time the event was at Eniwa, and Kawahara brought horses from our ranch. He hadn't brought the horse I'd been training on the most, though. That horse had thrown Kawahara badly the weekend before and was generally misbehaving, so he benched him. Good thing, too. He'd also thrown me once, and I wasn't too fond of him.
The All-Japan Championships and the local Eniwa Yabusume Tournament were held that day. All the horses seemed to be running slowly and everyone's scores were low. At the end of the day, somehow I was in a tie with an iaido (a Japanese martial art using a sword) sensei from Tokyo. But rather than having a shootout, the officials declared me the winner, because my last ride had been a second or so faster than the other guy. No one was more surprised than me.
One of the officials said all the other competitors were going to gang up and kill me after the awards ceremony...I'm pretty sure he was joking. Actually, one of the best things about the tournaments is seeing the same group of faces. They're all very cool, interesting people, and I look forward to seeing them again this year.
How does it feel to be the first international champion?
Well, I should point out that, although I won the All-Japan Tournament, I didn't win the Eniwa event that day. I'm not sure how the scoring was calculated, but a guy from Kita-Hiroshima won it.
Honestly, I don't know how legitimate is the "All-Japan" title, since I doubt anyone farther west than Tokyo even knows there is a championship.
There are yabusume demonstrations and ceremonies in western Japan, but I'm not sure there are any competitions. In fact, if someone from the Takeda-ryu Yabusume School in Kamakura came to compete, I doubt the rest of us would have a chance. But, you never know; it would be interesting to find out.
Most Japanese think of yabusume closely associated with ceremonies and festivals at shrines and temples, rather than a sport. Personally, I hope the competition aspect of yabusume grows until people are competing from all over the country – maybe even all over the world.
They do a slightly different form of yabusume in Korea as well as in Mongolia, and I would imagine Native Americans have some kind of horseback archery competition. Various armies from the Middle East employed horseback archery in the past. Wouldn't it be cool to see a tournament where all these different styles of bows and riding were being used?
"I spend the whole season badly bruised and unable to sit or walk comfortably. I'm pretty sure I have permanent tail-bone damage."
What about the outfits you wear? I hear yours is unique.
One of my favorite aspects of yabusume is the gorgeous costumes the competitors wear. They really go all-out. The two junior high-school girls have several beautiful kimono they wear, and the woman who won the Memuro competition, Tomoko Ono, arrives at each competition in a different kimono; they all look wonderful. But the costumes of the women in Aomori are really colorful. They look Chinese-Mongol to me, but I'm told they're actually Japanese. Some of those ladies even color-coordinate their bows and their costumes…they're amazing.
The best men's costumes I've seen are worn by the iaido guys from Tokyo; deerskin leggings, bearskin covers for their katana (swords) and wonderfully dignified kimono. I wish I could afford a fantastic costume like that, but I'm just a poor, underpaid teacher, so I make do with my kyudo uniform.
However, my mom used an Australian flag to make my imote, a half-jacket we wear on our bow-arm. It has a Southern Cross and Federation Star on the front and the Union Jack on the back. It's not very traditional, so perhaps it's a bit out of place in yabusume, but I'm proud to wear it. I also have a hachimaki with the Australian flag on it. My kyudo sensei made that for me.
And the horses…
They receive nearly as much attention. Most of the riders use a traditional Japanese wooden saddle—an evil invention. The rider sits between two high wooden ridges at the front and back of the saddle (sort of like the saddle horns on a western saddle, only less user-friendly).
My legs are too long, so the ridge at the front cuts into the inside of my legs and, if I lose my balance momentarily when I'm standing in the stirrups, I fall back and land on the rear ridge. I spend the whole season badly bruised and unable to sit or walk comfortably. I'm pretty sure I have permanent tail-bone damage. Some of the other competitors use western saddles which are super-comfy. I think they're cheating but, of course, I only say that because I'm envious.
Would you like to introduce the sport back in Australia someday?
Absolutely. I fully intend to. I'm told there are a couple of people in Sydney who have practiced yabusume. I'm hoping to hook up with them when I get back and start up a school or something. One day I'd like to bring a team of competitors back to Japan to compete. Not sure when that will be, though. I'm not ready to leave Japan just yet.
What was the reaction from the yabusume community in Hokkaido after you won?
There wasn't much of a reaction at all. I haven't seen most of the people since the competition and, with my meager Japanese skills, I wouldn't know if they were talking too much about it anyway. But, from the start, the yabusume community has been very welcoming and supportive.
I think they appreciate there are some non-Japanese interested in this aspect of Japanese traditional warrior culture and willing to train and try their very best. It's a sign of respect, and I think they are pleased by that. I did get a wonderful reaction from people in my town when they found out about it.
Also, I don't think yabusume gets a whole lot of attention from the general public. Most people to whom I've spoken have never seen yabusume and virtually no one has tried it. I find this amazing. Personally, I'd try everything once if I had the chance.

Mark Prior knows it would be "easy to cash it in."
"Too easy," he said last week. "The reality is, I could have made my last pitch in the major leagues. But I need to know for me. And I don't think it's over.
"I've always been a guy who likes to control my environment. I want to control how I go out. I don't want to give up. And the other reality is, I could pitch again. Wouldn't it be something to be back on the mound in a major league game?"
It could happen, although it's been 20 months and two rounds of major shoulder surgery since Mark Prior last pitched in any game.
Later this week, Prior will report with other pitchers and catchers to the Padres spring training camp in Peoria, Ariz.
And the former All-Star is "cautiously optimistic" he'll be pitching for the Padres this season.
Yes, we've heard that before.
Last year, Prior was days away from facing hitters in his first bid with the Padres when he felt a sharp pain in his surgically repaired shoulder, "like I had been stabbed."
On June 4, Prior underwent his second round of surgery in just more than 13 months. A second straight season had been wiped off the books.
But the longer he is away and the longer he spends in rehab seems only to strengthen Prior's desire to pitch again in the major leagues.
"I've played this games since I was 5," said the 28-year-old product of University of San Diego High. "I love the game. I respect the game. I want to get back to what I love to do.
"I want to get back into a game. I've missed that, no matter what the level. People say it's about the money. It's not. There is no money."
Not for Prior at the moment. Although he had offers elsewhere last winter despite his medical history, Prior opted to sign a minor league contract with the Padres – who paid him a $1 million base in 2008.
"I didn't put a 'for sale' sign out," Prior said. "In September, (agent John) Boggs asked me how I want to handle the situation. My first goal is to be healthy. My second goal is to pitch.
"San Diego was the best place to do it. The Padres have been great with me during what I've been going through. I knew they cared and the training staff has been great.
"Baseball is a small percentage of the process. My wife (Heather) has always said, 'If it's time to leave, it's time to leave.' Ultimately, though, we're coming back here.
"So when we talked about where was the best place for me to get healthy and take another shot, San Diego was the answer."
As for answers, Padres General Manager Kevin Towers is hoping Prior is his.
"If he's healthy, and all the reports thus far are encouraging, Prior is my ace in the hole," said Towers, who has two gaping holes in his rotation.
When he was healthy, Prior was one of the best pitchers in baseball. In 2003, his first full season in the majors, Prior was 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 30 starts. He had 245 strikeouts and a 5-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 211 1/3 innings.
At 22, Prior was an All-Star. But his career had already taken a wrong turn.
"It's been an interesting career. Who'd have known I'd be tackled by Giles'brother (Marcus) on the basepath and hit by a line drive," Prior said, referring to two incidents that led to injuries.
By 2006, Prior's problems were mounting.
"I tried to fight through being hurt," Prior said. "I tried making starts when I was hurting; it was a helpless feeling."
In April 2007, famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews performed arthroscopic surgery on Prior's right shoulder – completing three procedures in one operation, including the repair of a 180-degree tear of the labrum and a split in the capsule.
"None of the three parts of the surgery were new," Prior said last year. "But Dr. Andrews said it was the first time they had all been packaged in one operation."
The extensive rehab process continues to this day.
"I've had 20 months of addressing the issue every day," said Prior, who felt he was close to pitching last spring.
"I felt I was getting close in my pitch count. Looking back, it didn't feel right ... it didn't feel like where I needed to be."
And when he re-injured himself, it was a major incident.
"I ripped the capsule off the bone," he said. "I was throwing with no pain and on one pitch, I knew I had done a lot of damage."
Back to surgery. Back to rehab.
And although Prior believes he's further along this year than last – "I am throwing free and easy with no pain and without thinking about what I'm doing" – he knows it can again end abruptly.
"I have no crystal ball," Prior said. "I know what I want to do, but I am at the mercy of what my arm says I am. As to when, where and how, I don't know and I make no promises. But my shoulder feels 95 percent normal again, and it works properly.
"In reality, the second surgery could have been a blessing in disguise. ... And a lot of good things came out of it. I spent quality time with my daughters and developed an appreciation for where I was and what I wanted.
"Rehab is a test of everything you have, mentally as well as physically. The gains are so small that you can't gauge them day by day. And the setbacks can be crushing. There were times that not only could I not see any light at the end of the tunnel, I didn't know where the tunnel was going."
Now there's a glimmer. Prior is already thinking of how that first/next pitch to a hitter will feel as it leaves his hand.
"I have no idea where it might go," he said last week. "I know there will be nerves involved. The competitive juices will be flowing. I'd like to get that first pitch out of the way ... then start pitching."
And once he starts pitching ...
"If Kurt Warner can disappear for five years, I can disappear for three," he said.

The X Factor could be about to welcome a fifth judge to the panel to mentor a 'wild card' category.
Bosses at the ITV singing contest are said to be considering the surprise addition to shake up the panel again and look after four wild card acts, according to The Sun.
Potential judges thought to be in the running to take on the new category include Rita Ora and Mary J Blige, who would join the already confirmed line up of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Mel B.
The odd number of judges would mean that there would always be a judges' choice when it came to the elimination vote, taking away the possibility of the decision going to deadlock where it is left up to the public vote.
X Factor boss Simon is said to be keen to boost the show's flagging ratings, which have dropped since he last appeared as a judge in 2011.
A spokesman for the programme said: "No decisions have been made regarding the live shows at this stage."

Have you heard of the Henri Bendel Open See? For more than 40 years, the legendary Fifth Avenue accessory and beauty boutique has opened its doors to new and emerging talent from around the world.
Held twice a year, the Open See has launched the careers of countless young creators including Anna Sui, Todd Oldham and Pamela Dennis. Admission is open on a first-come, first-served basis, which has men and women lining up around the block the night before ready to pitch their jewelry, hair accessories, handbags, beauty products and even some cookies and a sequined walking cane in the hopes of making it into the Henri Bendel Flagship store on Fifth Ave. Open See is sort of like the American Idol of the fashion world, so I decided to go down and see what all the fuss is about.
I showed up very early in the morning, almost an hour before the doors opened,�?on a very cold winter day,�?and, sure enough, the line was wrapped up around the next block.
I went to the front of the line and met Autumn-Lynn from Arizona, who staked her place at 11 the night before for a shot at getting her two:peas jewelery line picked up. Needless to say, she was freezing. A quick pop down the line found entries from Columbia, Puerto Rico, Alabama, Hawaii and my hometown, New York City. Almost all had flown the previous night to make the renowned event.
My stylist's eye caught sight of an adorable girl from Hawaii, Alice Kim[, rocking a pink wig and lei to promote her Lash Card, a handy dandy doodad which helps prevent mascara from lumping and clumping.
Already covered by The Girls in the Beauty Department, Alice made it past the brutal judging panel and over thousands of entries, was picked to sell at Bendel on their Quick Fix Wall. While they choose so few from so many, it was an incredibly exhilarating experience to see Alice from standing in line freezing to New York City success. I wish all the budding entrepreneurs on line that day, the best of luck with their brands. And here's to next time.
Let's play a game: if you were a designer hitting up the Henri Bendel Open See, what "fantasy" product would you be pitching?

Chameleon: African Music Star
In this trade like any other area of business, there are people who are jealous. Whenever, they see you in a better position they don't feel well. Not everybody is happy with what I'm doing.
With seven recorded albums already under his belt, the East African start known as Jose Chameleon is on fire, with fans in Rwanda, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and, of course, globally. He's the winner of many music awards in the region and recently was recognized in London as among the top three best African artistes. Ever since his début "Mama Mia� album in 1999, he's never looked back. He recently teamed up with another Tanzanian, Professor Jay, to form the BIG Js and produced a new album, which officially launches next year. He found time to speak with The Black Star News while in London.
BSN: How did you manage to travel—yet your visas were revoked?
JC: Man, I was innocent and everybody knew even the thinnest atom of the whole saga—And I was not afraid of anything because right from the beginning I was certain that, God will prove to them all were fabrications man. These people are not stupid. Thanks for their democracy and rule of law. The law applied and now I'm traveling as a freeman.
BSN: Is it true your fiancé was arrested in a drug scandal in the US? What do you say about that?
JC: Yes, Dorotia was my fiancé, but we separated more than three years ago man. That was exactly what helped me. You know these white women like to associate their names with fame. She retained my name and when she was arrested, they of course thought that, I was still with her. But everything was sorted out. The British High Commission was querying how the US gave me the visa. They took my passport but when I proved that I have no relationship with Dorotia any more they had to back off man.
BSN: What do you have to tell those who were giggling about your failed travel because your visa had been revoked?
JC: Those who laughed and said what they have said, I have proved to them that, I was innocent. I have challenged them. Let 'em set another challenge.
BSN: What do you learn from such an incident?
JC: I get a better lesson to deal with all sorts of challenges man. Whenever I get a challenge, I try hard to improve on my performance and how to over come such challenges. So, I should say that for those who want me, they just set challenges. I request them to set another challenge, because it helps me to improve and get better for my fans. For example things were published and after I was proved innocent, I got the same publications. So, I benefited a lot.
BSN: You say them not mentioning the names, who are these 'em?
JC: In this trade like any other area of business, there are people who are jealous. Whenever, they see you in a better position they don't feel well. Not everybody is happy with what I'm doing. As a person who is prominent. There are challenges that I'm likely to undergo. But the more I'm pushed against the wall, the more I think and plan to overcome such hurdles. With God's mercy I can possibly overcome whatever comes into my way.
BSN: Why all this on your head?
JC: As a person who is prominent, I have to face all kinds of challenges. I have to accept that, but it's good on my side.
BSN: Who would you like to emulate or be compared to?
JC: I can see Jamaicans, Congolese and Americans going beyond—that is where I would be interested to be. They are human beings and I'm convinced I'm a soldier fighting for the name of my country. I'm fighting to promote the name of my country, so they should have supported me instead of fighting for my downfall. They have to support me rather than discourage me and pile all sorts of foul-mouthed things to destroy my image. I told you that I have already jumped that hurdle and waiting for yet another—This kind of life we are moving in, sometimes it's good that you get challenges to perfect your performance. Because it gives me courage to think ahead and you know when pushed against the wall is when all my brain starts working at rocket speed.
BSN: What are the differences you have noted here in comparison to your home?
JC: Man, if these people had not thought wisely, they wouldn't have been at this stage. They plan ahead after encountering such hurdles and they make sure that such disaster doesn't come any more. The most important thing is that people here in Europe and America, they had to think a lot, that is why they reached where they are now. Really they are miles a head of us.
BSN: Lastly, as far as you see things going on in your career, do you think there are enemies against you?
JC: I don't consider 'em to be my enemies but my friends because when they make such criticisms, they open-up my brain to start thinking hard. It's fair to get criticism. It gives courage to find means of over-coming or solve where you went wrong to the satisfaction of my fans. If you don't think, you can't overcome such problems. Possibly, they knew not that God was on my side.

reading a lot on encopresis and wondering if anyone knows someone that has been 'cured' or grown out of it? There are so many extremes out there as a treatment yet no cure and some of these treatments I think could be psychologically jarring not to mention more invasive. I am finding that many who have it grow out of it especially being treated with probiotics and fiber, minor change in diet. I am praying it can be so.
Anyone with experience?

text: A good plan would be to get MPICH2, which is an all-new implemantation of MPI by the MPICH team. It replaces the whole old p4 library, and has better diagnostics on system configuration, as well as being an implementation of 100% of the MPI-2 standard. Get it from http://www.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/mpich and if there are problems email mpich2-maint at mcs.anl.gov. There are some significant differences in how the new version starts processes, so look at the documentation in the User's Guide on moving from MPICH1 to MPICH2. - Rusty Lusk > Recently took on a project doing a Beowulf cluster and I have configured the > files necessary to run MPICH-1.2.6 to run on 3 computers using Red Hat > 7.2(following directions).

This was my first time to Defcon and it was a great time. There are over 7000 people there and there are so many things to do you have to pretty much choose a path and go for it. You could spend all your time in the presentations or participate in the contests and compete for the glory and maybe even the esteemed black badge. There were a few that struck me. The hack the badge contest is for people to hack Joe Grand's badge. The team that won managed to turn their badge into a frequency analyzer and pump music through it! They sent off to a rapper and had Joe Grand's poem about the badge made into a rap that rocked. Video by Dan Kaminsky
For the robot contest, Team Octopi won for the second year in a row with their robot. In this contest you make a robot that can shoot 22 targets within two minutes. It's a head to head double elimination tournament. My team proudly won third place! The video above is a little snapshot of the event!
After Defcon, 38 other hackers and I took a 24 hour journey by plane and bus to go to CCC camp, a huge, once-every-four-years, hacker conference North of Berlin. I'll update you on that soon!

Missoula City Firefighters Train at Washington Grizzly Stadium [AUDIO]
Several weeks ago a technician fell while working inside 'Griz Vision', the giant screen at Washington Grizzly stadium and needed to be rescued by a Missoula fire department crew.
On Thursday, Missoula city fire crews returned to the stadium to recreate that rescue scenario in a training exercise.
Senior firefighter/paramedic Philip Keating said crews spent several hours using various equipment and techniques to initiate a successful rescue inside the confined space of the 'Griz Vision' enclosure. They used special high-angle rescue gear coming in from the top of the enclosure with the ladder truck to gain access.
Keating says crews train about once a month in various venues, trench rescue, water rescue, high and low angle rescue, and wilderness rescue, as well.
Keating said the University of Montana was instrumental in allowing city fire crews access to the stadium and 'Griz Vision' for their specialized training.

NJ Transit Expects Delays On Afternoon, Evening Commute
Delays are expected for Wednesday's evening commute on three NJ Transit rail lines due to signal problems.
The problem is centered on tracks owned by Amtrak south of Newark Penn Station. NJ Transit says the Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast and Raritan Valley Lines are affected.
Trains are delayed 20 to 30 minutes in both directions, and the delays are expected to remain into the evening commute. NJ Transit spokesman John Durso Jr. says travelers should allow extra time to get their final destination.
Amtrak says its trains are experiencing 10- to 20-minute delays but that those could lengthen as the evening commute arrives. Amtrak crews have been working on the problem since late morning.
