Targeted Nanoparticle Tested in Patients with Cancer
The first trial to test a targeted nanoparticle capable of controlling a drug's release is now under way in humans. By packaging molecules of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel in nanoparticles, researchers aim to deliver a higher dose of the drug directly to tumors and to reduce the toxicity to patients.
In animal studies performed before the trial, the nanoparticle delivered a greater amount of the drug to tumor cells than could be achieved with the unpackaged (or free) drug. In addition, the nanoparticle did not show any more toxicity than docetaxel on its own.
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, BIND Biosciences, Inc., and their colleagues reported the development of the nanoparticle, called BIND-014, in the April 4 Science Translational Medicine. Read more > >

A Conversation with Dr. Lowell Schnipper about Cancer Care and the Choosing Wisely Campaign
Nine professional medical societies, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), each recently released a list of the five most commonly performed medical tests and procedures within their specialties that are not supported by published evidence and contribute heavily to unnecessary health care spending in the United States. The release was part of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign.
Dr. Lowell Schnipper of Harvard Medical School and chair of the ASCO Cost of Cancer Care Task Force, which spearheaded ASCO's contribution to the Choosing Wisely campaign, spoke with the NCI Cancer Bulletin about the top-five list and the larger effort behind it.

Matthew Birt says:
Valentino Rossi quickly brushed off the crushing disappointment of his first lap exit in his home race in Mugello recently to give himself a huge confidence boost on the opening day of practice in Catalunya.
The nine-times world champion topped the practice timesheets for the first time in 2013 after a best lap of 1.42.297 put him just 0.049s clear of...

It's called 'payback' bud. Get it? Obviously not. Your God's doing a great job in the t-shirt department though so be happy :) (I guess you bought one?)..........shame about his results though. That's gotta hurt ;)

Nos your a typicle arm chair racer. That was a big accident Rossi had last time out. So To set the fastest time today Was a test of charactor and ability. So why not give the guy a bit of credit and say well done. You obviously ride a 125 and dont go that quickly on it because other wise you would relize how skilful top riders like Rossi are. So next time you slag a rider of just remember they have more talent in their little finger than you have in your entire body

Very little in it if you only go by the fastest laps. Lorenzo was 1/20th of a second off and Pedrosa about 1/10th of a second behind. However Lorenzo was by far the most consistent with only 1.56 seconds between his fastest and slowest laps. He'll be the man to beat this weekend in my opinion. Rossi should do well as he's had brilliant results at this circuit, but he'll need to be a lot more consistent in his lap times. Put it this way, if he doesn't do well here I think he should retire so some younger, hungrier guy like Espargaro can have a decent ride.

Nostro , it's that very thing that makes you such a cunt.. Doing as well as you did/didn't(depending on your perspective) you should appreciate more than most what Rossi has done over the rest. Some folk need reminding that after two years in the wilderness he came back and totally dominated the very guys who were supposed to be the new generation and Casey arguably at the best he ever was with back to back titles it took serious injury for Jorge to get close, and Ducati(Rossi), for Casey to finally get his own back and on the finest motorcycle Honda ever built... Expecting Rossi to do the same 'again' 3 years further down the line in his mid 30's before allocating him any credit whatsoever is like asking Mick Hailwood to comeback now(?) and beat John McGuinness on an MV Brutiale.. Your are the perfect example of someone who doesn't realise how fucking stupid they are and can prove it.... Just being in the top 4 is pretty fucking amazing considering how much and many times, the bikes have changed since he started..

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Dr. S.M. Najm
The traditional paradigm of causality presupposed by the natural sciences is not equipped to handle the new ways of thinking coming in the wake of what has been called the "interpretive turn" in philosophy and the social sciences. This dissertation initiates a new paradigm of causality, one that seeks to be more adequate to the needs of twenty-first century philosophical and scientific thinking. The dissertation begins by reviewing the central problems of the old paradigm and attempting to indicate precisely how it is inadequate. Next, with the aid of David Hume's deconstruction of causality. this dissertation seeks to ground the proposed Paradigm in the meaning of causality as accessible to everyday lived experience (as opposed to basing it upon an a priori idea). Then, the analysis of causality so far achieved is brought within the phenomenological ontology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. which provides a non-dualist way of thinking the relationship between subject and object (as well as between objects and between subjects). The discussion seeks to show how a new manner of conceiving such relationships overcomes the intractable difficulties arising from thinking causality in traditional terms. Finally, the dissertation indicates some ways that the new paradigm might be deployed in both human and natural sciences and considers some of the implications of the new paradigm for changes in scientific thinking.

With limited space – for example, on a balcony – this tall plant box offers you the possibility to set up a small vegetable or herb garden (or a flower bed). On a large terrace, it can be a space divider and a small garden simultaneously – or, it can serve to protect privacy, because, on the trellis, which can be simply placed in the soil and covered (a string for this purpose is included), climbing plants can grow.
Thermotreated Elevated Garden Bed
Two things certainly come with owning a garden: first, the obligation to look after plants and lawns all year round and second, in return for all the work, the reward of enjoying a summer out of doors. For the former we have a range of tools on offer, suitable for all kinds of gardening tasks and easy to use because of their light weight and extraordinary quality – they won't wear you out. For example these small hedge shears with their lovely "feel". The blades are of forged, extra sharp carbon steel and give a very precise cut. They weigh less than 500 grammes and are a real pleasure to use, even after a couple of hours' shearing.
Gardening Tools
For home-owners who appreciate good workmanship and design a natural screen can be the perfect alternative to the conventional screening mat available in any chain store. Learn more about our other suggestions for decorating your garden or fencing in plants and ponds: for example our movable metal fence, flexible, multi-purpose and even suitable as shrub support; or the traditional hazel fences. Also in our range: large planting buckets made of oak wood and, for your rambler roses, a durable stainless steel climber trellis.
Garden Décor and Fences
Fresh from orchard to jar – our citrus fruit marmalades are a breakfast classic. One is prepared from bitter oranges and comes from Lake Garda, the other is a Sicilian mandarin marmalade. For both the fruit are hand-picked and concocted the traditional way – to preserve all the flavour. Or try our delicious Bonnat chocolates from France, made from regional cocoas: you can taste where they come from! Our French 'confiture de lait' adds a creamy and sweet touch to your breakfast waffles or crêpes – perfect for a festive start into the day on Boxing Day (when you've opened all your presents). For a Sweet Tooth. Confectionery
A useful bag of sturdy cotton weave (used otherwise for deck-chairs) with eight side pockets that give you enough room for the transport and storage of small garden tools. The Manufactum Ash Tool Stand is a piece of furniture and as such will find room for long and short tools alike using the absolute minimum of space. The three bigger compartments take forks and spades with T- or D-shaped handle ends; the six smaller ones are for ordinary long-handled garden tools.
Transport and storage of tools
Different options available: our classic nesting box comes in parts of pinewood for easy assembly. Othe nesting boxes, ready-built and suitable for direct use in your own garden, include models of larch wood, plaited fern, sea grass and coconut, or even breathable timer concrete. Squirrels and birds will always have something to nibble with our food dispensers – choose from a range of feeders made of wood, frost-proof terracotta or ceramics.
The Sensoboard has been shown to be an ideal training method. Standing upright on it requires active compensatory muscle effort encouraged by the board, which gives the impression of a shifting base. The board is equipped with a non-slip covering, and stands on a football which in principle should force the foot-board to tip over as soon as pressure is applied: however, this is prevented by rubber bands that do their best to return the board to its original position.

You can still get the Sport Automatic Watch from us in its original finish – with the date window at a quarter past. The raised sapphire crystal fits closely on to the bezel. The lozenge-shaped hands are of polished steel and – like the digits – have been coated with a green luminous point. The second hand has been given a luminous dot. The movement is the renowned ETA automatic calibre, and has been slightly modified and regulated in five positions by Mühle to give noticeably improved accuracy.

Everyday writing instruments are often subject to fashion. Manufacturers tend to take advantage of this and produce new designs with alarming regularity. This speaks volumes for pens which can rise above this and still be on the market after decades – as for example the Pelikan fountain pen M150. It has been on the market since 1975 and comes with the tried and tested Pelikan pump and a hand-made nip. The German company of Pelikan was founded in the city of Hanover in 1838 and has been a reliable source of pens and ink and water-colours for generations of pupils, teachers, and others.

The ball rolls and rolls, rolls into long channels, disappears in a tunnel, continues, concealed, on its way and finally appears from its hideout in a completely different place. The route taken by the ball depends entirely on the designer of the marble track - which may include children over the age of 4, who continue to discover new labyrinths even with simple constructions.
This building block system from Cuboro encourages children's mathematical and geometrical imagination through play; for ingenious tinkerers, this becomes a mental challenge when the additional building block sets are brought into play.

Since 1962 the Copenhagen watchmaker Ole Mathiesen has been crafting watches whose clean-cut appearance has long been held up as a peerless example of superb Danish design. Indeed, one of its exclusive outlets is the shop attached to the Museum of Modern Art in New York. We now offer the OM8 watch, which Mathiesen – who for a while only used quartz for this model – has now equipped with a hand-wind mechanism specially designed for us

The name 'Frankfurt' isn't an accident. It indeed refers to the busy city on the Main, where it's been established for years as 'the' shoe made by Red Wing. It's the perfect footwear for professional people who have to spend long hours out of doors. It looks as good as new after 20 years – but the best part is what you can't see from above, namely the 'supersole'. It's petrol-, chemical- and heat-resistant; it's wonderfully shock-absorbent (helped by the soft Poron insole) and 'holds the road' well thanks to its aerated rubber. Everything's been done to ensure foot comfort.
The Red Wing 'Frankfurt' Shoe
Neither a revival of an old model nor a piece of homage to the good old days, this watch will not only attract admiring glances but will serve your work-day needs for many decades. We mean 'work-day' literally: this watch has been the number one choice for Finnish lumberjacks since 1952 – since when its features have been continuously improved. It's exceptionally robust: the casing for example is of hardened stainless steel, not of soft precious metal. It's has a hand-wind Unitas 6497-1 mechanism and is equipped with Incabloc® shockproofing . It's pressure resistant up to 3 bar, a value normally reserved for wrist watches. Its single hand, like the hour and minute hands, is of polished rhodium. Swiss Pocket Watch 1952
In 1905, a small perfumery was founded in Paris. Since then, the name Detaille has become famous and is now held in high esteem in royal families as well as in the world of couture. The 'Escrimeur' eau de toilette comes with accents of lemon, bergamot and orange, an aromatic hint of rosemary and lavender and a sophisticated base note with accents of vetiver, cedar and sandal wood. It is discretely spiced with cardamom and a trace of musk.
Eau de Toilette Escrimeur
We've had in in our range for years – the "Giannina" espresso maker, which the company, founded by Carlo Giannini in Cellatica on the southern edge of the Alps, has been producing for more than 40 years. Now, the model is equipped with a base suitable for an induction stove. Beyond that, the caffettiera has hardly changed its external shape; form and material have remained the same (polished stainless steel instead of aluminum). The handle, cast with stainless steel and functioning simultaneously as a locking brace, is larger and therefore easier to grip than before. Giannina Induction Espresso Maker
Climbers confined by bad weather conditions to base camp in the Yosemite National Park, California (the legendary 'Camp 4') started to look for a sensible way of passing the time till the next ascent. Balancing practice seemed a good idea, and people tried this out on the ropes and belts in their climbing kit stretched out between trees or posts. In the 1980s someone came up with the more professional idea of the purpose-made 'slackline': a special belt that could be stretched to a variety of different tensions by means of a ratchet. Slackline
The leather we use is of hide cut from the neck – the sturdiest part that the animal needs in order to cope with continual movement and daily strain, and which in turn ensures that the neck hide has a particularly robust texture. Our specialist Westphalian manufacturer uses vegetable-tanned leather from French cows to make these briefcases based on classic models from the 1930s to 1960s. They have two outside front pockets and an adjustable all-round belt. The leather's deep brown colour comes from the cask-dye process using special fats to keep the surface grain 'open' and clearly visible. Manufactum Leather Briefcase
The town of Morioka is closely associated with the traditional production of cast-iron kettles and is also home to Iwachu, a family business of some 90 years now. The kettles are made using an ancient sand casting process. The finished products are sand-blasted and polished by hand.
This teapot is an unusual addition to any table - but that is not all. As it is made from cast iron, this teapot can also be used directly for boiling water and, by leaving it on the stove, it can also be used to keep tea warm. Initially, this takes a little bit of getting used to: fill the teapot only two thirds full of water.
Japanese Arare Tea Kettle
The Bonnat firm was founded in 1884. Today it still maintains personal contact to the cocoa farmers that supply the beans and imports them directly, avoiding middlemen. No outsourcers either: the whole production is in-house under one roof. Bonnat don't mix cocoa beans from different regions, preferring to preserve the typical character and flavour of each type of bean. Only the best ingredients are used – cocoa that's been slowly and carefully 'conched', cocoa butter and sugar, with light-coloured Indonesian beans for milk chocolate and with additional powdered milk for full milk chocolate.

Microsoft has made a change to its HealthVault health care records service that will let health care providers e-mail patient profile pages.
Rather than shuttering its online medical records service like its rival, Microsoft creates a tool to let Google Health users move their data securely to its HealthVault.
CVS customers will now be able to download their pharmacy histories to Microsoft HealthVault to maintain a complete record of their medications and treatments.
New HealthVault Community Connect will allow you to view your own medical records, lab tests, and prescriptions, and preregister for hospital appointments.
The famed health care provider will build a personal health record system, called the Mayo Clinic Health Manager, using Microsoft's HealthVault technology.
Starting off a race for developers, Redmond offers $3 million fund for health care applications that work on its HealthVault platform.
Google has added seven new languages to Google Translate. Google Health is also more user-friendly than Microsoft's HealthVault.
MSN releases beta version of a new online health information management service, called My Health Info, including widgets to upload and organize data stored in HealthVault accounts.
Customers of CVS' pharmacy will now be able to import their prescription records into Google Health.
General Electric, a giant in clinical settings, has turned out to be a key partner for Wintel's health care ambitions.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- Former Thaddeus McCotter aide Mary Turnball was sentenced Tuesday to two years probation and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service.
Turnball pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit a legal act in an illegal manner and one count of falsely signing and nominating a petition as circulator while working for the former U.S. Representative. Authorities say she asked someone to sign their name as a petition circulator, although that person didn't collect the names.
McCotter didn't make the 2012 ballot after a staff member submitted bogus petition signatures. Turnball was also ordered to pay over 1,400-dollars in fines and court costs.

Thinking Inside the Box: The Art of Andrew Krieger
Andrew Krieger's work has been described variously as whimsical and wistful, incisive yet ineffable. Careful examination of his art reveals a corpus that is alternately delightful and disturbing, equal parts mysterious and mundane. In many of these skillfully realized drawings and mixed media constructions the artist juxtaposes familiar references to daily life with profound ideas about the ongoing, and oft times deleterious, effects of technology. The Corcoran's exhibition includes early drawings, prints, and mail poems, as well as later architectural designs for kiosks, bus platforms and waiting stations, and three-dimensional box works. This retrospective affords the opportunity to trace the artist's development in the context of thirty years of work. From the beginning, Krieger created graphics and tableaux vivants en papier that integrated overt puns with a Dadaist sense of the absurd. Although continuing to utilize similar themes, the newer works demonstrate a greater use of color, and an evolving sense of energy and excitement. Krieger's lines and forms have an increasing potential for movement and the architectural spaces have a greater depth as he has continued his exploration of interior spaces.
The artist has lived and worked in the District of Columbia for more than twenty years. As a sculptor, draughtsman, and printmaker, Krieger uses a wide variety of materials but he has focused on both two- and three-dimensional works on paper. Among his most memorable pieces are the mixed media constructions within which he communicates complex ideas, concepts and social commentary. Critics and viewers often have commented on the three-dimensional aspects of Krieger's work, christening him a latter day Joseph Cornell and categorizing him as a box artist. He isn't offended by the tag, an easy entree into some of the more visceral issues, designs and commentary that his works offer as they unfold. Krieger's mixed media boxes are miniature alternative universes. They suspend objects in limbo, preserving them and the space they inhabit as precious memories fixed in time, alive with a spirit and breath all their own. Many of the works are presented as stage sets, open to the audience to join in: the curtains are drawn, the lights have come on, and another quirky world is calling for anyone willing to step forward and inquire.
Thinking Inside the Box: the Art of Andrew Krieger is organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and by Eric Denker, curator of prints and drawings. The exhibition has been made possible by generous support provided by the Gladys Nelson Smith Fund and by private donors. Additional thanks are due to the National Gallery of Art, Lorene Emerson, and Crane Rental Company for their kind assistance with the exhibition.

The location is on a somewhat industrial complex, not very inviting. But the atmospere is ok and with public transportation you can reach the inner city of Stockholm in app. 30 mins. At the hostel reception a person is present 24/7 which is excellent and made us feel secure. We liked the breakfast, staff took good care and we like it that there is no plastic waste at breakfast (jam, butter etc.).

The Vikings (2-1) scored on the first possession of the game and had a 20-3 lead at the half as Vanden quarterback Jason Brisendine passed for 189 yards in the first half, including three touchdown passes.
West (0-4) struggled on offense at first, collecting only 70 yards in the first half, and the Wolf Pack had to carve out its own opportunities to make any progress. Kepa Saaga intercepted a pass to start a first-quarter offensive drive that included a 48-yard pass play from quarterback Bobby Landrum to Kenny Silva. The drive got West close enough for Jackson Nott to kick a 25-yard field goal.
Vanden's Everardo Aguiar intercepted a Landrum pass at the start of the second half and ran it back 71 yards to put the Vikings up 27-3. West's defense gave the Pack its offensive opportunties in the second half. D.J. Villasenor picked up a fumble to set up a 9-yard touchdown run for Saaga in the third quarter.
Amrit Singh also picked up a fumble for West, and the following drive resulted in Villasenor scoring on a 4-yard run. Nott make his second point-after kick of the night to cut Vanden's lead to 27-17. Silva also snagged an interception and Cody Correia picked up a fumble to cut shot Viking drives, but Vanden scored once more in the fourth when Ren Littlepage got away for a 65-yard touchdown run.
"The second half our boys were very resilient," West coach Matt Loggins said. "One guy made a play and another made a play and it started rolling."
Loggins adding that he's starting to see consistency in the Wolf Pack offense.
"Our backs ran hard tonight. They didn't make any excuses and took the holes where they were at," Loggins said.
West finished the night with 216 yards on offense, including 85 yards rushing.
"We just knew we had to go out there and fight," junior fullback Kepa Saaga said. He ran the ball 20 times to grind out 34 yards, mostly right up the middle against a stubborn Vanden line.
"We looked good the first half but I feel like we could have done better," Saaga said. "We need to come out with more intensity, so that we set the pace and set the tempo for the game."
Landrum completed seven of 14 passes for 131 yards. Six of them went to Silva for 93 yards, and Hayden Ordone caught a 38-yard pass.
"We've got to go two times harder than this," Silva said, adding that West can build on this win for next week when the Wolf Pack hosts the Bulldogs from Tracy High in the annual Crosstown Classic. "We can't lose again and Tracy's going to get it."
Vanden won the sophomore game 19-0. West coach Robert Eccleston said the Wolf Pack defense held up well against a Viking team that is usually capable of scoring more. Daryn Higaki had 10 tackles and Austin Torma, Lenin Priego and Ryan Herrera has seven tackles each. It puts West at 0-3-1.
West's freshmen (1-3) traveled to Lincoln High in Stockton on Thursday, with the Trojans winning it 41-6.

It could be months before Baker County voters cast their ballots for sheriff.
A judge ordered a new election last October because of evidence of voting irregularities and vote buying in the August election won by incumbent Sheriff Dana Meade.
He appealed that decision to the Georgia Supreme Court. A decision in the case could be far off, and it doesn't end there. A re-do election was set for January 8th. That's not happening.
The civil suit filed by challenger Tim Williamson contained testimony from voters who claimed their votes were bought with liquor and money. Those allegations are being looked into by the Secretary of States office and prompted a new election. But when that will happen is yet to be seen.
In the August primary runoff incumbent Baker County Sheriff Dana Meade edged out challenger Tim Williamson by 39 votes. What would've been an uncontested general election was contested in the courts.
Williamson sued. Testimony from voters claiming they were offered liquor and money for their votes and the mishandling of absentee ballots enough for a Superior Court Judge to order a new election.
'It's impossible to say when a new election will be," said Bake Co. Attorney Tommy Coleman. "The January 8th re-do is no more. An appeal of the ruling filed by Meade is now in the hands of the state's highest court which will either overturn the ruling or leave it as is."
"It takes months to get something scheduled before the supreme court. Once they have arguments it takes months for them to hear the arguments and make a decision."
While no official election has taken place, Coleman says Meade still has all the powers of sheriff. "He continues to have all the authority vested in the Sheriff of Baker County up until the time the court rules and there is a new election."
But it could be 60 days from the time the court rules on the appeal. Meaning it could be mid summer at the earliest before voters can head to the polls, or if overturned, whether an election will take place at all.
Because the election in contest was a primary race, it raises the question as to how the process will be conducted seeing as this was not a general election which would have still left the option open for write in votes.
And that election is still under investigation by the secretary of state's office.

Creating an iPad / iPhone Web App using Informix and PHP.
- Web Server with PHP and Informix PDO.
- XCode – Dashcode
- Informix Database Server with the stores_demo database.
- About 10 minutes of your time.
In this example we will be using the Apache/PHP stack that is provided by the IBM OpenAdminTool for Informix.
Assumptions and Glossary.
The following assumes you have OAT installed in /Applications/OpenAdmin.
The term WEBROOT will refer to the /Applications/OpenAdmin/Apache_XXX/htdocs directory.
The application we are going to create will display a list of customer names , selecting a particular customer will then display further information about that customer like their address , contact details etc.
Creating an iPad Application that pulls data from your Informix Database is a simple 3 step process.
Step 1. Create a web service in php that pulls out your required data.
Step 2. Create the application that consumes that data.
Step 3. Sit back and marvel at how cool you are.
Lets get started.
Step 1
We need to create a web service in PHP. The service will get all the customer records from the database.
In the WEBROOT directory create a new directory called 'custdemoapp' .
Now lets create our service within that new directory.
Create and edit a file called service.php with the following code.
<?php # setup some variables for our connection. # change the following for your environment. $host = HOSTNAME; #Hostname of where Informix is running. $port = PORTNUM; # port # that Informix is listening on. $server = SERVER; # The INFORMIXSERVER. $database = stores; # Name of the stores_demo database. $protocol = PROTOCOL; # Protocol for the connection. $user = USERNAME; # Username to connect as. $password = PASSWORD; # Password for the user. #setup our 'dsn' $dsn = "informix:host={$host};service={$port}"; $dsn .= ";database={$database};protocol={$protocol}"; $dsn .= ";server={$server}"; # connect to the database. $db = new PDO($dsn,$user,$password); # create the select statement $sql = "SELECT * FROM customer"; # perform the query. $stmt = $db->query($sql); # fetch all the data. $rows = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); #close the query. $stmt->closeCursor(); # we are going to output this in an xml format so # lets tell the browser to expect xml header("Content-Type: text/xml"); #create a simplexml. $xml = simplexml_load_string("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><cust/>"); # loop thru our records adding each one to our xml. foreach ($rows as $key => $value) { $node = $xml->addChild("customer"); foreach ($value as $k >= $v ) { #fix up any special characters. $v = htmlentities($v); $node->addChild($k,$v); } } #display the xml; print $xml->asXML(); ?>
We now have a URL that will give us the customer records in a XML format.
Step 2
In this step we will create our UI and 'hook up' our newly created service to provide the data.
To begin, launch the application Dashcode.
You should see a screen similar to the one shown.
If not select File -> New Project from the Dashcode menu
Select the template type 'Browser' and also be sure to uncheck the 'Safari' option.
Click 'Choose' to create the new project.
The next step is to define our data source.
Dashcode gives us a nice easy to follow work flow.
The option we are looking for is 'Customize data' .
Clicking on the 'Customized data' tab will show us the options available.
With the expanded Customized data tab select the 'Data Sources' option.
The template we selected comes with some sample data , which is loaded from a javascript file.
We want to use the service we created above so we just need to change the URL to point to our web server and the location of our service.
Below the URL we should now see the first customer record.
So we have our data , lets modify the User Interface to be more applicable.
To get back to the 'work flow' click the icon located at the bottom left. The elements of the UI are laid out in a 'tree' form , expanding a level shows each part of the UI. The part we need to change is the 'detailBox' under 'detailLevel' .
Selecting the element in the 'tree' also selects the element in the UI preview , so with the 'detailBox' selected lets make it a little bigger . We also need to delete the existing text boxes as we want to create our own. To delete an element just selected it and hit the delete key.
To add our fields open up the Library panel . To open the Library panel either select the Library option in the Workflow panel or use Window -> Show Library from the Dashcode menu. ( The keyboard shortcut SHIFT->CMD->L also opens the panel )
The Library Panel shows the various UI elements we have available to use.
Find the 'Text' part and drag it from the Library into the 'Detailbox'.
Modify the Text to say 'address1' .
Add 4 more 'Text' parts changing the text to 'address2' , 'city' , 'state' and 'zip' .
Align them up using the 'guides' that appear.
Next add a 'Rounded Box' underneath the existing one.
Add 2 more text fields , label them 'fname' and 'lname' .
Finally , to the new box , add a 'Call Button'.
For completeness add 2 more 'Text' boxes labels 'Address' and 'Contact' and position above each box accordingly.
You should now have something that looks like this :
Lets switch to the 'list' view by selecting 'list' just above detailLevel and wire up our data to the UI.
Once again select the 'Data Source' option from the workflow.
What we need todo is connect our datasource to the itemList as a data array.
To achieve this click on the 'customer' , you will notice a 'circle' appear at the end. Hovering over the circle and it changes to a plus sign. Clicking and dragging reveals a blue line.
Draw the line up to the Item list , as you move over the item list it will highlight and the word 'list' will appear in a grey box towards the bottom right .
Releasing the mouse button will then show a dialog asking what 'element' of the 'list' do you want to connect too , click on the 'dataArray' .
Next to the customer should now be an additional box saying "list.dataArray" ,
Now we need to connect the 'company' field to the 'itemRow",
Following the same as we did above , this time hover over the 'company' field , select the circle , with the mouse button held , draw up to the Item box.
Move over the Item box till it highlights with rowTitle , releasing the button shows another popup , this time select the 'text' option.
Next to 'company' should be an additional box that reads "rowTitle.text" .
We now have our customer data hooked up to the list part of the UI . Setting up the detail view is very similar so lets do it .
If not still active , switch back to the Data Sources in the flow control , you should notice an additional element listed there now called "list" . Select 'list' , with list highlighted select the 'detailBox' to show our detail UI .
Just as we did with the 'listItem' , we connect a 'dataField' (eg: ADDRESS1) to its corresponding UI Element ( The Text we added and called address1 ) by clicking the circle and dragging. Be sure to select the 'text' element from the popup to make sure we bind to the text part of the text box.
Connect all the remaining customer fields.
The 'CallButton' can be connected to the PHONE datasource element and when running on an iPhone this will actually 'dial' the number when pressed. When connecting Phone to CallButton be sure to select the 'phoneNumber' element of the dialog.
When everything is hooked up it should look similar to the picture on the left.
Now all we have todo is Run our application. Selecting the Run option at the top or press the shortcut COMMAND R .
You may see some dialogs warning you about running in the simulator just click continue.
The iPhone simulator should start and launch Safari and load your application.
Tapping a customer name will slide in the customer details.
Step 3.
In the simulator change the hardware to be an iPad .
Files for the app can be downloaded here

Table of Contents
Tar River Basin Precincts and Counties
The area of present-day North
Carolina was included in several English grants and charters beginning in 1578.
In 1585, Sir Walter Raleigh made his first attempt to form settlement on
Roanoke Island but the settlers returned to England in 1586. A second
expedition came to Roanoke Island in 1587. John White, the governor, returned
to England for supplies and when he returned in 1590, the colony had
disappeared. Gradual settlement continued as early inhabitants of southern
Virginia areas, and later, New England, drifted down into North Carolina to
explore, trade, hunt, and trap. The area was hospitable with its temperate
climate, its several navigable waterways, and its fertile land.
The first North Carolina County was
Albemarle which originated in 1663 when Charles II issued a charter granting
Carolina to eight of his friends: John Berkeley, Sir William Berkeley, Sir
George Carteret, Sir John Colleton, Anthony Ashley Cooper, William Craven,
Edward Hyde, and George Monck. The original charter included the area from
Virginia to Florida (between 31o and 36o north latitude). By the end of that
year, Albemarle County had been formed including settlements on the Chowan
River and the Albemarle Sound and extending forty miles to the east and north.
When it was discovered that the original charter did not include the majority
of the settlers to the north, a second charter was issued in 1665 extending the
territory one-half degree north, which was about 35 miles, and two degrees to
the south.
The final formation of the 100
counties that make up present day North Carolina involved many complex boundary
changes. A researcher is well advised to search adjoining counties if the
desired information is not found in the expected county. Moving from east to
west, the development of the eight counties comprising the Tar River/Pamlico
Basin is briefly outlined below:

Smoking: Taxing Health and Social Security
Economic Review Q3 2007
Because they have shorter life expectancies, smokers incur a higher net marginal Social Security tax rate than nonsmokers. This higher tax rate could affect both labor supply behavior and the Social Security system's funding.

Certificates for sustainable palm kernel oil for laundry and home care products
|Download: web print
Henkel advances sustainable cultivation of palm oil
"We are committed to sustainable business practices across the entire value chain. This includes the sustainable management of raw materials and the conservation of natural resources," says Bruno Piacenza, Executive Vice President Laundry & Home Care at Henkel. "To support the concept of sustainable palm oil and palm kernel oil cultivation and to underline Henkel's leadership in sustainability we decided to purchase palm kernel oil certificates to cover the full range of laundry and home care products as of 2012 – as the first company within this industry on a global scale."
While palm oil is predominantly used in the food industry, palm kernel oil serves as one of the major renewable feedstocks for the production of surfactants (cleaning active agents) for laundry detergents and household cleaners.
A strong partner for the sustainable cultivation of palm oil
In order to foster a sustainable palm oil economy, Henkel has been participating in the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) ever since its very beginning in 2003 and became an official member in April 2008. Furthermore, Henkel, in close cooperation with the trading platform GreenPalm, initiated the certificate trading system for palm kernel oil and was the first company in the world to purchase palm kernel oil certificates in 2008.
To promote the concept of sustainable palm oil and palm kernel oil production even more effectively, Henkel engages in dialogue with other partners above and beyond the RSPO. In October 2009, Henkel joined the "Palm Oil Coalition". Its members include representatives of globally operating companies in the consumer goods and food industries as well as of non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace, Oxfam, The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and others. Their common goal is to enforce the protection of rainforests by shifting their sourcing of palm oil entirely to sustainably managed sources by an agreed date.
Furthermore, Henkel initiated the "Forum on Sustainable Palm Oil" jointly with industry partners, the WWF and the German Association for International Cooperation (GIZ). The goal of this platform is to promote the use of sustainably produced palm oil and palm kernel oil. The standards defined by the RSPO serve as the basis for developing and amending them further by the Forum.
External recognition
Henkel's leading role and the company's contribution to the sustainable cultivation of palm oil is recognized by external stakeholders, as well. The WWF has ranked Henkel in the top category of its global Palm Oil Buyers' Scorecard in November 2011, awarding the company the maximum score of nine out of nine.
Henkel provides extensive information on sustainability and corporate social responsibility, and its contribution to the sustainable cultivation of palm oil, on its website at www.henkel.com/sustainability.

Today is launch day for space shuttle Discovery as it goes into space for its final mission. This launch is particularly significant for St. Petersburg College because former SPC student and Clearwater resident Nicole Stott will be on board as a member of the crew.
She was SPC's commencement speaker at last June's graduation.
Stott has invited several members of the SPC family to attend the launch at the Kennedy Space Center, and we plan on running a story about the experience in this week's Blue & White. Meanwhile, be sure to follow the launch, which is scheduled for 4 p.m. today.
Astronaut Nicole Stott's commencement address to St. Petersburg College graduates

Astronaut Nicole Stott speaks to graduates at St. Petersburg College's commencement exercises on Saturday, May 8. Stott is a Clearwater native who graduated from Clearwater High School and attended SPC. Her first NASA space mission was last year, when she spent about four months on the International Space Station.
Text of astronaut Nicole Stott's commencement speech
Posted in astronaut, graduation, nicole stott, St. Petersburg College on May 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Astronaut Nicole Stott delivered the commencement address Saturday to SPC graduates. Afterwards, she answered some questions on a range of topics. The text of her speech follows. It is interspersed with some short videos from her interview.
Good morning and greetings to all of our honored guests, to the college faculty and administration, families, friends and of course most especially to our graduates.
First I'd like to thank you for inviting me to share this day with you. It is a real honor to be here. It's hard for me to believe it was almost 30 years ago – over a lifetime ago for most of you – when I was attending SPJC. The Aviation Administration program at the time is what I believe gave me the first real solid steps towards pursuing my passion for flying and preparing me to later study aeronautical engineering and ultimately to be standing here before you today as a NASA astronaut.
I'm pretty sure that you all have some celebrating planned after today's ceremony so I'll try to be brief.
I'd like to start a slideshow to play in the background as I speak. I was blessed with the opportunity last year to spend 3 months living and working on the International Space Station. Aside from the launch, landing and pictures from my spacewalk, these are some of the pictures I took while I was on orbit. I apologize because it's another case of the picture not doing what you see justice. Our planet and I think our spacecraft are really just too beautiful to capture with a picture.
So I stand here before you today as an example of what can happen if you follow a dream. It's still very surreal to me that I had the opportunity to see our planet from a 200 mile vantage point and circling it once every 90 minutes.
For some reason I always thought that seeing the Earth from space would make it seem like we're all pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things. But instead it surprised me to feel the total opposite. Instead, every time I looked out the window I had this sense of everything having its place and reason. Here we all are riding on this planet that is situated at the perfect distance from the sun and providing us with everything we need to survive. And each of us has a place and reason. Sometimes that place and reason aren't all that easy to figure out, but I guess that's what life is all about.
I thought I'd share some of the things that have stood out for me as I've been figuring out my place and reason. My apology in advance because none of these are new.
Pay attention to the things you enjoy and let them guide you.
I was so happy when I realized this simple thing. It was like the lightbulb turning on — Wow, maybe I can have a job that has something to do with the things I think are fun….
I think there's a reason why each of us enjoy certain things and that very different things can bring each of us joy. It's having a real passion for something. And it's great when what you have a passion for can be part of your life – to feel its influence over all kinds of choices you make like career and family.
For me, flying was the passion that influenced my choices the most. I was really fortunate to grow up with a dad who loved to fly and build planes. As a family we spent a lot of time when I was growing up hanging out at the local airport (some of you may know it – Clearwater Airpark off Hercules). My dad shared his passion for flying with me and I believe it was the single biggest influence on the path I took for school and a career. So I've found it's important to be true to yourself and let the things you enjoy help guide you.
There are sometimes people that know you better than you know yourself.
Along the way through school and work I have found there were people that seemed to see and appreciate things in me that I wouldn't necessarily see or appreciate in myself. These are the people that I think of now as my mentors. For me, the biggest example of this was deciding to actually apply for the astronaut office. If it wasn't for the encouragement I received from these people I never would have believed enough in myself to even apply. It takes a lot sometimes to trust in yourself and what you're capable of. You can do yourself a big favor by trusting in the people who know you best.
Be happy – be positive – have a good attitude
There is pretty much no situation where this won't serve you well. Even when things aren't going like you planned. I was so fortunate to spend 3 months living on a space station with a happy crew of 6. We worked hard and we had a good time.
The only easy day was yesterday (think this is a Navy Seal motto).
And I don't mean it quite as strong as it sounds.
But simply to say that every day will present you with its own unique challenges. I think someone said once that we should look at these challenges as opportunities. Opportunities to learn more about ourselves, about our own capabilities and about the world around us. I don't know who that someone was, but I think they're right.
Take the high road – Do your best – Don't forget the golden rule to "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you". These are the simple things that will always serve you well. Be true to your word and always remember that the things you say can have a huge impact on others.
And of course the old, stop and smell the flowers. Whatever path you're taking after you leave here today, you should feel confident that you have prepared well and you should take the time to discover and enjoy the little surprises that will meet you along the way. It's these little surprises that really seem to make life's experiences an adventure.
I know when I went to space I had very high expectations of what the whole experience would be like. I found that every expectation I had was exceeded and it was because of the surprises / the little things that I didn't expect. There were things like the smell of space that was encountered any time the airlock was opened up after a spacewalk or on the hatch of an arriving spacecraft. Things like how quickly and almost effortlessly our bodies adapt to a new environment – how floating and pushing with your fingertip gently off a wall and grabbing the next handrail becomes natural for getting around and you don't even think about walking as the way to go. And for me, like others before me, I was totally surprised and in awe of the overwhelming, glowing beauty of our planet. Everyday up there I was blessed with the opportunity to spend some time looking out the windows towards home and seeing things I never would have expected. Moving around the planet every 90 minutes, with the orbit slightly shifting and taking you over someplace new, with the sun rising and setting gracefully across the horizon every 45 minutes, the moon brilliantly popping into view and then squishing as it set into the thin glowing blue line of our atmosphere. I couldn't help but look at the Earth and see anything other than this living, beautiful thing, that always seemed to be sharing some changing emotion or different side of its personality – sometimes very calm and peaceful and other times very dynamic and aggressive.
I'm really thankful for the special surprises I've encountered along my way and while I was living on the space station, and I'm especially thankful that the design of the space station included windows.
Well I hope you enjoyed the pictures from space that played in the background. I hope they helped you discover something new about our planet and maybe something new about the journey you have ahead of you. For me, there's always some new surprise every time I look at them.
There are amazing opportunities out there.
I wish the best for all of you — Success and happiness and that all your dreams come true.

For less then 20$ cant go wrong had a week already left out side in rain still happy for less then 20$ if stays out 5 months im very lucky but still cant beat price wal-mart wanted 22 think saved 3-4 bucks ... cant beat it very happy
Just opened, havce not had a chance to use, but looks great. Should hold targets fine.
Assembled with no issues. Will work great for site in on the new weapons.
The included clips for holding the targets are a joke, they allow the targets to blow right off the arms. It's easy to set up and store. Just buy yourself some other clips to hold the targets.
Seems to be what I wanted. Will find out later at the range.
What an easy set up and break down assembly. Comes with plastic hooks for targets or cans and small metal clips.
