"Considering what Section 3 is, the only drill is for biological specimen containment." He told her, thinking once again about how something like this is possible when absolutely no lab is performing an experiment that would result in such a reaction. In another project, in any other section. Arriving at Section 3, the only thing that was out of the ordinary was the fact that the monkeys in their cages were going berserk, not even the scientists were too alarmed and took the chance to record what was happening. Nathan glanced at his wife with a momentary look of confusion before it dissipated, "Somebody here is going to tell me what exactly happened."
She looked at her husband with some worry, "Is it dangerous?" Of course she was going to go with him, he was her other half. But Section 3? Wasn't that primates or something? Who knows, she didn't work there.
"I need to call Fargo and let him know that the tour has been canceled and that they need to go back to school."
She grabbed her phone, dialed his number and told him very swiftly,
"Fargo, Dr. Stark. Take the kids back to school, we're going to have to reschedule for another time."
She hung up and turned to Nathan,
"What's the drill?"
The director in charge of this section pushed through the group of over zealous researchers to explain, "This is such a rare occurrence, for a test subject to react as strongly as they are now while receiving daily dose of muscarinic acetylcholine recep-"
"That's enough." Stark said putting a hand on his shoulder. A small seed of realization began to grow, Section 5 scientists don't think any memo they receive applies to them. Fuck.
Research reveals possible reason for cholesterol-drug side effects
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and physicians continue to document that some patients experience fuzzy thinking and memory loss while taking statins, a class of global top-selling cholesterol-lowering drugs.
A University of Arizona research team has made a novel discovery in brain cells being treated with statin drugs: unusual swellings within neurons, which the team has termed the "beads-on-a-string" effect.
The team is not entirely sure why the beads form, said UA neuroscientist Linda L. Restifo, who leads the investigation. However, the team believes that further investigation of the beads will help inform why some people experience cognitive declines while taking statins.
"What we think we've found is a laboratory demonstration of a problem in the neuron that is a more severe version for what is happening in some peoples' brains when they take statins," said Restifo, a UA professor of neuroscience, neurology and cellular and molecular medicine, and principal investigator on the project.
Restifo and her team's co-authored study and findings recently were published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, a peer-reviewed journal. Robert Kraft, a former research associate in the department of neuroscience, is lead author on the article.
Restifo and Kraft cite clinical reports noting that statin users often are told by physicians that cognitive disturbances experienced while taking statins were likely due to aging or other effects. However, the UA team's research offers additional evidence that the cause for such declines in cognition is likely due to a negative response to statins.
The team also has found that removing statins results in a disappearance of the beads-on-a-string, and also a restoration of normal growth. With research continuing, the UA team intends to investigate how genetics may be involved in the bead formation and, thus, could cause hypersensitivity to the drugs in people. Team members believe that genetic differences could involve neurons directly, or the statin interaction with the blood-brain barrier.
"This is a great first step on the road toward more personalized medication and therapy," said David M. Labiner, who heads the UA department of neurology. "If we can figure out a way to identify patients who will have certain side effects, we can improve therapeutic outcomes."
For now, the UA team has multiple external grants pending, and researchers carry the hope that future research will greatly inform the medical community and patients.
"If we are able to do genetic studies, the goal will be to come up with a predictive test so that a patient with high cholesterol could be tested first to determine whether they have a sensitivity to statins," Restifo said.
Detecting, Understanding a Drugs' Side Effects
Restifo used the analogy of traffic to explain what she and her colleagues theorize.
The beads indicate a sort of traffic jam, she described. In the presence of statins, neurons undergo a "dramatic change in their morphology," said Restifo, also a BIO5 Institute member.
"Those very, very dramatic and obvious swellings are inside the neurons and act like a traffic pileup that is so bad that it disrupts the function of the neurons," she said.
It was Kraft's observations that led to team's novel discovery. Restifo, Kraft and their colleagues had long been investigating mutations in genes, largely for the benefit of advancing discoveries toward the improved treatment of autism and other cognitive disorders.
At the time, and using a blind-screened library of 1,040 drug compounds, the team ran tests on fruit fly neurons, investigating the reduction of defects caused by a mutation when neurons were exposed to different drugs. The team had shown that one mutation caused the neuron branches to be curly instead of straight, but certain drugs corrected this. The research findings were published in 2006 in the Journal of Neuroscience.
Then, something serendipitous occurred: Kraft observed that one compound, then another and then two more all created the same reaction – "these bulges, which we called beads-on-a-string,'" Kraft said. "And they were the only drugs causing this effect."
At the end of the earlier investigation, the team decoded the library and found that the four compounds that resulted in the beads-on-a-string were, in fact, statins.
"The 'beads' effect of the statins was like a bonus prize from the earlier experiment," Restifo said. "It was so striking, we couldn't ignore it."
In addition to detecting the beads effect, the team came upon yet another major finding: when statins are removed, the beads-on-a-string effect disappears, offering great promise to those being treated with the drugs.
"For some patients, just as much as statins work to save their lives, they can cause impairments," said Monica Chaung, who has been part of the team and is a UA undergraduate researcher studying molecular and cellular biology and physiology.
"It's not a one drug fits all," said Chaung, a UA junior who is also in the Honors College. "We suspect different gene mutations alter how people respond to statins."
Having been trained by Kraft in techniques to investigate cultured neurons, Chuang was testing gene mutations and found variation in sensitivity to statins. It was through the work of Chuang and Kraft that the team would later determine that, after removing the statins, the cells were able to repair themselves; the neurotoxicity was not permanent, Restifo said.
"In the clinical literature, you can read reports on fuzzy thinking, which stops when a patient stops taking statins. So, that was a very important demonstration of a parallel between the clinical reports and the laboratory phenomena," Restifo said.
The finding led the team to further investigate the neurotoxicity of statins.
"There is no question that these are very important and very useful drugs," Restifo said. Statins have been shown to lower cholesterol and prevent heart attacks and strokes.
But too much remains unknown about how the drugs' effects may contribute to muscular, cognitive and behavioral changes.
"We don't know the implications of the beads, but we have a number of hypotheses to test," Restifo said, adding that further studies should reveal exactly what happens when the transportation system within neurons is disrupted.
Also, given the move toward prescribing statins to children, the need to have an expanded understanding of the effects of statins on cognitive development is critical, Kraft said.
"If statins have an effect on how the nervous system matures, that could be devastating," Kraft said. "Memory loss or any sort of disruption of your memory and cognition can have quite severe effects and negative consequences."
Restifo and her colleagues have multiple grants pending that would enable the team to continue investigating several facets related to the neurotoxicity of statins. Among the major questions is, to what extent does genetics contribute to a person's sensitivity to statins?
"We have no idea who is at risk. That makes us think that we can use this genetic laboratory assay to infer which of the genes make people susceptible," Restifo said.
"This dramatic change in the morphology of the neurons is something we can now use to ask questions and experiment in the laboratory," she said. "Our contribution is to find a way to ask about genetics and what the genetic vulnerability factors are."
The Possibility for Future Research, Advice
The team's findings and future research could have important implications for the medical field and for patients with regard to treatment, communication and improved personalized medicine.
"It's important to look into this to see if people may have some sort of predisposition to the beads effect, and that's where we want to go with this research," Kraft said. "There must be more research into what effects these drugs have other than just controlling a person's elevated cholesterol levels."
And even as additional research is ongoing, suggestions already exist for physicians, patients and families.
"Most physicians assume that if a patient doesn't report side effects, there are no side effects," Labiner said. "The paternalistic days of medication are hopefully behind us. They should be."
"We can treat lots of things, but the problem is if there are side effects that worsen the treatment, the patient is more likely to shy away from the medication. That's a bad outcome," he said. "There's got to be a give and take between the patient and physician."
Patients should feel empowered to ask questions, and deeper questions, about their health and treatment and physicians should be very attentive to any reports of cognitive decline for those patients on statins, she said.
For some, it starts early after starting statins; for others, it takes time. And the signs vary. People may begin losing track of dates, the time or their keys.
"These are not trivial things. This could have a significant impact on your daily life, your interpersonal relationships, your ability to hold a job," Restifo said.
"This is the part of the brain that allows us to think clearly, to plan, to hold onto memories," she said. "If people are concerned that they are having this problem, patients should ask their physicians."
Restifo said open and direct patient-physician communication is even more important for those on statins who have a family history of side effects from statins.
Also, physicians could work more closely with patients to investigate family history and determine a better dosage plan. Even placing additional questions on the family history questionnaire could be useful, she said.
"There is good clinical data that every-other-day dosing give you most of the benefits, and maybe even prevents some of the accumulation of things that result in side effects," Restifo said, suggesting that physicians should try and get a better longitudinal picture on how people react while on statins.
"Statins have been around now for long enough and are widely prescribed to so many people," she said. "But increased awareness could be very helpful."
Image: Top - Of 1,040 drugs tested, only four caused nodules to form inside the neurites, resembling beads on a string. All four drugs were statins.
Bottom - Neurons whose mitochondria are labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) reveal that statins cause mitochondria to pile up inside the branches that neurons use to connect with each other.

What If It Were Today?
"And every man that hath this hope in Him purifies himself, even as he is pure." - 1 John 3:3
Two little girls were talking in school one day, and one said to the other, "I hear the school board is making an inspection of our school this week."
The other girl's desk was messy, so she said, "I'll clean it up tomorrow."
The first one asked, "But what if they come today?"
Her friend said, "You know, I think I'll clean it up right now—and keep it clean."
If you knew that Jesus was coming to your house this afternoon, would there be any cleaning you would need to do? Any magazines or videos you would need to trash? Any pictures on the walls you would need to take down?

The Goddess of never not broken.
In pieces, in a pile on the floor, with no idea how to go forward, your expectations of the future are meaningless. Your stories about the past do not apply. You are in flux, you are changing, you are flowing in a new way, and this is an incredibly powerful opportunity to become new again: to choose how you want to put yourself back together.
We were never a consistent, limited whole. In our brokenness, we are unlimited.
- Julie (JC) Peters

Haruki Murakami, on completing the Murakami Triathlon
You know how Nike use the catch phrase "just do it"? Well, saying/thinking that never really inspired me. But I just finished What I Talk About When I Talk About Running and I think that the above quote is the Murakami, long-winded version of "just do it." And this works for me. (Though I doubt it's as easily repeated while on a long run.)

I don't need to be convinced - I completely agree.

Process Analytical Technology currently becomes more and more important for food and pharmaceutical industry for example because of the increasing demand for more effective and efficient quality control. Therefore it is necessary to get timely and targeted responses of the different parameters in bioprocesses. To attain this aim, it is helpful to replace the conventional (manual) laboratory techniques with automated measuring processes via in-line probe.
Analyses of free amino acids in biological fluids?—?such as urine and plasma?—?can be useful in determining disease status in clinical diagnoses [1]. In the food industry, unique changes in amino acid concentrations are useful markers of freshness, nutrition, and taste.
This paper discusses the ACD/Spectrus Processor, the new all-in-one analytical data processing and chemical characterization software.
TNFa blocker biopharmaceuticals represent an important and successful class of protein drugs used in the treatment of several autoimmune diseases. Bioassays are indispensible tools in biopharmaceutical drug development and commercialization that are used to quantify biological activity and stability of drugs or drug candidates. The automation of these assays can serve to create an accurate, robust process which can allow the researcher to perform other more important functions.
Transcreener® ADP2 Assays are homogenous assays with fluorescent readouts that enable the detection and screening of established drug targets including protein and lipid kinases, as well as emerging targets such as carbohydrate kinases, triphosphatases, heat shock proteins and other ATPases.
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals have demonstrated that a practical automated verification system using HPLC, LC/MS, and 1D and 2D NMR can be implemented in an industrial/pharmaceutical environment. This system has proven to be robust, and provides added value to compound collection integrity and quality.
LIMS are useful in managing certain types of data for quality management and sample tracking. However, these systems are generally limited in the types of information they can process and store. A unique automated quality management system has been developed and implemented at a fragrance manufacturer to evaluate chromatographic and spectral data of samples during quality testing.
Interaction of a nasal spray product with the patients' body depends on key variables such as the particle size of the delivered droplets and the suspended active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The particle size of the drug can be an important parameter for the rate of dissolution and availability to sites of action within the nose.

We stayed there during Michigan Tech's Family Weekend, all other area hotels were full. The floor we stayed on had nothing but non-smoking rooms, but there was a very strong smoke odor that was worse than a bar. Perhpas because of the room shortage smokers went ahead and booked non-smoking rooms and then preceded to smoke up a storm in them, I'm not sure, but it was really frustrating and a little annoying. The doors to the rooms had about a 1 inch gap at the bottom allowing any smoke to enter our room as well, which made our stay very uncomfortable. We will not be staying here again..

The bed itself was comfortable but the blankets and pillows made the bed so much better. I slept great on it. Check out time was very convenient at noon. We raced in the Canal Run and it gave us time afterwards to come back to the hotel and take a quick shower. Breakfast in the morning was enough. I only had a bagel and toast but it was a decent amount of food for a continental breakfast. The view of the water was great! It was so beautiful.

Read about the Raptors
What to look for
The Detroit Pistons will open up the preseason tonight against the Toronto Raptor,s who are fresh off a home victory against Real Madrid.
This will be the first opportunity to watch the Pistons and get an idea of how they will look this upcoming season.
They should get some chances to strut their stuff on offense against the Raptors' first unit provided they favor ball movement as opposed to isolation-heavy basketball.
Indeed, although it was merely an exhibition game, the Raptors starters looked slow on rotations defensively when Real Madrid ran pick-and-rolls; and also Toronto's first unit did a poor job of running through screens, which afforded their opponents a multitude of open looks.
Consequently, if the Pistons run their offense and get players running through screens, it should allow them not only to get open looks but also to break down defenders off the dribble — looking at you Rodney Stuckey — and get to the rim for uncontested shots.
It's worth noting that Raptors may well rectify some of these issues after getting exposed against Real Madrid.
Keep in mind though, as poor as the starters looked defensively, the second unit provided far more defensive resistance. The quintet of John Lucas, Terrence Ross, Linas Kleiza, Ed Davis and Amir Johnson fought through screens, rotated crisply on defense, clogged the lane, closed out on shooters, provided rim protection, protected their backboards and got out on the break.
Offensively, Calderon is currently the Raptors maestro as Kyle Lowry is nursing a leg injury.
It will be interesting to see how the Pistons compete defensively against a Raptors team that will essentially put the ball on the floor from every position on the court — literally every — in an effort to the get to the rim. The Raps drove with reckless abandon to the rim against Real Madrid and didn't necessarily always take good shots. This should be an opportunity for the Pistons big men to flex their muscles on the interior and show what type of defensive team they will be.
Although this is the Pistons' first preseason game, it may give us a snippet into what to expect from the team, particularly the second unit, considering that they may well in fact have a dog fight awaiting them against the Raptors bench players.

La roue The wheel ( Visual )
8 editions published in 2008 in English and French and held by 233 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"I know that Creation is a Great Wheel which cannot move without crushing someone!" - Victor Hugo. With this quotation begins the story of widowed railroad engineer Sisif. He finds an infant girl in a train wreck, and realizing that her parents are dead, rescues her and decides to raise her as his daughter, Norma. His wife died in childbirth, and Norma will make a good companion for his son, Elie. Knowing nothing of Norma's true origins, Elie and Norma grow up having an unusually close relationship, stopped from developing any further by their belief they are siblings. Haunted by his actions and resultant guilt, Sisif is driven to drink, making him all the more susceptible to the scheming of his wealthy boss, De Hersan, who wants to marry Norma. Though Norma refuses Hersan at first, Sisif's dismissal from the railway forces her to accept, which destroys both men. Elie realizing that he could have had the love of his life all along--once the truth comes out--is especially tragic. This seminal film introduced many innovations in set design and construction, location shooting, cinematic graphic effects, and particularly rhythmic editing. Gance's technique was years ahead of its time and influenced filmmakers all over the world, as his technical mastery is always in the service of the story

Tras la muerte de Beethoven, en 1827, se encontraron entre sus papeles tres cartas de amor escritas un mismo día (por la mañana, tarde y noche), a una mujer de la que no se indicaba su nombre, y a la que el compositor se dirigía como "Mi amada inmortal": la primera comenzaba con las palabras "Mi ángel, mi todo, mi yo: sólo unas pocas palabras escritas a lápiz..."

Lager and Hybrid Beers
How often do you go into a pub and find there is "lager, lager everywhere and not a drop you'd drink?" Quite simply: too often. Lager is the most consumed beer on the planet and as such it's been ripped apart by mass production methods focussed on reducing the cost per unit and jettisoning any concern for taste to make beery water.
As a result it's easy to dismiss as a style, but it shouldn't be. Lagers are usually crisp and refreshing when describing a Helles or a Pilsner style. Moreover, there's an exciting breadth of variety when you scratch the surface with dunkels, Vienna lagers, bocks, Märzens, and schwarzbiers. So, forget the idea that lagers are fizzy yellow water; when made with love, they're veritably clean, interestingly pure, and bear many unique flavours and aromas. We suggest giving a try some great lagers from the German juggernaut of Augustiner or the Mittenwalder microbrewery, or looking more towards home with Cumberland Breweries' Irish Lager.
Another interesting beer category are the hybrid beers made with lager yeasts but fermented at ale temperatures: Kölsch, Altbiers, cream ales, and steam beers. Each of these styles are a wonderfully easy drink but with varying degrees of maltiness and bitterness as well some interesting flavours--the Kölsch is sometimes known for its wine-like character whereas steam beers have a noticeably clean finish. Anchor Steam is the world's quintessential steam beer while the German breweries of Früh and Schlosser produce great examples of Kölsch and Altbier, respectively.

When you read about some of the additional fighting going on, you get a little nervous if it continues. Cromartie vs. Keller. Offensive linemen. Stephen Hill got in a small skirmish.
When guys are fighting all the time, it is showing signs of getting combative with each other. It's almost as if your teammates are getting under your skin. When plays upon plays are causing guys to fight, it goes past competitive to combative. Guys are trying to get each other, rather thank looking after each other.
A team has to be close, but not so close that they are getting on each other's nerves. It's not a problem yet, I am not accusing the Jets locker room of falling apart again. I am just saying be careful.
Maybe Rex is right, the team is ready to start hitting another team. Maybe that will be the cure all for the fighting.
Clearly, coach is not happy about it. He shouldn't be, because the team needs to be close. The team needs to be competitive, not combative.

PROVIDENCE – Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee said he selected Christiansen Capital Advisors LLC to conduct an economic impact study on Rhode Island's lottery, Twin River and Newport Grand as Massachusetts legislators work on a bill allowing casino gambling in the state.
"We are prepared for competition – whether it comes from Massachusetts, Connecticut, or New Hampshire – and I remain fully committed to protecting this vital source of revenue," said Chafee in a news release Tuesday. Proceeds from the lottery, Twin River and Newport Grand are the state's third largest source of revenue, he said.
The R.I. Lottery paid $354.9 million into the state's general fund for the fiscal year that ended June 30, Providence Business News reported Oct. 10.
The agreement with Christiansen closed Oct. 26, Chafee said.

Anwar bin Ibrahim (born 10 August 1947) is a Malaysian politician who served as Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister from 1993 to 1998. Early in his career, Anwar was a close ally of Prime Minister Mahathir bin Mohamad but subsequently emerged as the most prominent critic of Mahathir's government.
In 1999, he was sentenced to six years in prison for corruption, and in 2000, to another nine years for sodomy. In 2004, the Federal Court reversed the second conviction and he was released. In July 2008, he was arrested over allegations he sodomised one of his male aides, and faces new sodomy charges in the Malaysian courts.

28 7 / 2011
This idea came to me
somehow. wouldn't it be intense to think about what life would be like in your very own town that you reside in now but only with a bit of "post-apocalyptic" sprinkled on top? Where would you go? what would make into a weapon from your household items to fight off the radioactive beasts and zombies? how far would you go to save your pets? would the favorite hang-out spot become your safe haven? who would you eat first when you ran out of food? would you stay home and barricade yourself in, or venture out to find safety and a cure? or would you give up and find the person you love more than anything else in the world and tell them how you dream about them every night before downing an entire bottle of sleeping pills? these are all valid questions. When I put myself in the position of a bird flying over my fair town of Pflugerville, I picture all the familiar places. But instead of everything being colorful, everything has that weird blueish gray haze that scary movies get when something bad is about to happen. also, there are some cars crashed into poles and a few little fires. no people. hm, its a bit sad and creepy but entirely fascinating.
I would most likely find a golf club bag (or whatever they are called) and fill it with those metal things you use to poke fire by the fireplace, baseball bats, knives, and golf clubs. i'd text my friends to find out who was alive. I would fill my car with gas because i feel like driving is essential. i would probably try to get away from the city. Austin would probably get crazy. imagine all the weird people that live here as zombies. People in plaid button downs and skinny jeans listening to indie music with their Elvis Costello glasses and dreadlocks, except instead of wanting to talk about their tattoos they just want to eat you. I'd go to my old high school. It'd be the perfect scene for this imaginary tale to take place. Fighting beasts in the old theater. Finding someone to make out with underneath the bleachers in gym 3 because you think you may die and you don't want to die alone. Beating the shit out of the vending machines to stock up on junk food. But then that moment would come when it stopped being neat and started actually getting scary.
WOAH i watch too many movies

Back in 2008, a backup of an old hard drive from Sega's QA department from the 16-bit era managed to float onto the internet. Among the treasures in that collection were sixteen development versions of 32X Doom, throughout different stages of development. The Cutting Room Floor is currently documenting the differences here.
It's fascinating to see the cuts made to fit the game on the 32X as they are made.

Our objectives are:
We work to:
October 11th of each year is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the rights of girls in Manitoba and across the globe. To mark 2014s United Nations International Day of the Girl, Manitoba Status of Women is launching a new edition of its educational resource for girls, 4 Girls Only!
4 Girls Only! is a colourful, fun, and fact-filled guide for girls across Manitoba in grades 6 to 8 that explores real-life issues that Manitoba girls have told us are important to them. Topics included in this revised guide include empowerment, healthy relationships, education, community engagement and the celebration of diversity. This new and refreshed guide also includes a directory of resources that girls can access for assistance with their particular needs.
We hope that this new version of 4 Girls Only! will be useful in your work. Please consider ordering of copies of the guide, free of charge, to share with young women in your community. Please note that we may limit the number of copies ordered per organization/school.
If you have any questions or would like to order hard copies, please contact the Manitoba Status of Women office at (204) 945-6281 or 1-800-263-0234, or by e-mail at email@example.com.
The theme of this year's celebration hosted by Manitoba Status of Women is women and leadership. It will highlight women's contributions to and achievements in developing and growing our province's business sector. The event will feature Ms. Jodi Moskal - Chair, Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce and Co-owner, Moskal Electric - as this year's guest speaker.
The celebration will be held at the Manitoba Legislative Building on Wednesday, October 29, 2014 from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with official proceedings beginning at 12:15 p.m. in the Rotunda. A light lunch will be served before the formal program.
Please contact Manitoba Status of Women by Friday, October 24, 2014 at (204) 945-6281, toll-free at 1-800-263-0234, or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com if you plan to attend.
The United Nations declared October 11, 2012 to be the first International Day of the Girl (IDG) to provide an opportunity to recognize young women around the world as important citizens and powerful voices of change. Canada led the call to raise awareness about the particular challenges girls face around the world and to promote girls' empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights.
Manitoba Status of Women (MSW) encourages organizations and agencies from across our province to celebrate IDG in a variety of ways - big and small. Select a theme that is important to girls in your communities and run with it: plan a luncheon, a walk, a lecture at your school or in your community; get a group of girls together to participate in a service project in your community; or simply take some time, either individually or as a group of girls, to learn about the lives of girls in other parts of the world.
Minister Kerri Irvin- Ross will be making an announcement to commemorate the day. Please stay tuned to our website for more details.
Women have told us they want opportunities to connect on important issues, build networks for community and create change together. To help meet this need, MWAC introduced the Community Networking Grant for Women in 2011 to assist groups of women from across the province to network together as peers, share resources and information, and take action on issues important to them and their communities. This grant is designed for women in rural, remote and northern communities.
Please find attached more information about the Community Networking Grant for Women, as well as the application form. Applications are due by October 17, 2014 and may be submitted by fax, email, or mail.
Please join us on October 25th for updates on the UN Global Safe Cities Initiative.
Manitoba Status of Women was pleased to partner with the International Association of Women Police (IAWP) Training Conference organisers and the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Status of Women Forum to support Advancing Women in Policing at All Levels: A Discussion Forum. As part of the 52nd annual IAWP Training Conference, this dynamic forum brought together leading minds currently working to support and advance the participation of women in policing. Panelists discussed best practices and strategies for engaging women in policing occupations at all levels.
Manitoba Status of Women is pleased to release the discussion document: Women and Policing in Canada: A Status Brief and Discussion Paper.

For the past week or so I have been at the point in pregnancy where I get dressed for work in the morning in my pre-pregnancy clothes and am all "Nice, still fit!" but by the end of the day, after my stomach has swollen, I'm all "Ugh, why did I not wear something with an elastic waist". Well today it is 7:30AM and I've already unzipped the top of my pencil skirt (its covered by a cardigan and blazer). Guess I'm crossing into a new stage.

Next Knoppix Release to Feature GPL'd FreeNX
michael posted more than 10 years ago | from the x-for-everyone dept.238
linuxtag-reporter writes "The first day of LinuxTag, Europe's biggest Free Software event (expecting 25,000 visitors) already has one big highlight. It seems that Fabian Franz from the Knoppix Project hacked up a 'FreeNX Server' based on NoMachine's NX technology (poor NoMachine might lose business now). Fabian Franz presented a first preview of the 'GPL Edition' in a live demo together with Kurt Pfeifle. The demo showed sessions going from Germany to Italy just based on a slow WLAN connectivity (shared with hundreds of visitors). A connection lost due to bad network conditions was easily re-connected to, and a deliberately suspended session was revitalized too -- it was just like 'screen' with a GUI! A report on the official LinuxTag webpage says FreeNX will be publically released for the first time as part of the upcoming Knoppix-3.6 release. The Kalyxo project is building and hosting Debian packages of FreeNX and NX/GPL for everyone to use."

Obama is a foreign policy lightweight who has offended our allies and emboldened our enemies, and Biden is just a bad joke. They're the Frick and Frack of foreign policy. Romney's friendship with Israel's leaders, his understanding of our ties with England and the rest of the Anglosphere and our shared values with Poland and other Eastern European democracies is light years better, and his position is strengthened by Ryan's understanding of our position in the world and the necessity of maintaining that position in order to maintain our country.

Please know that if you date me, I am a very touchy person. I will like to pet your head and hold your hand, rub your shoulders or hug you a lot. Simply put, to physically feel you in some way is very comforting to me and I can't really apologize for it, it just feels natural to me and makes me happy.

Semi-fail run?
Today was my 20mi and I only got to 15. ._.;
I think it's because,
- I ran the 15 miles solo (I'm use to having a pacer for my last 7.)
- I started my run at 730pm, it got too dark too fast.
Good thing about today's run,
- Some guy told me he sees me run all the time and he thinks I run a lot! I'm taking this as a compliment :D
- After 15 miles, i'm barely tired! My endurance must be increasing :)
- No stomach or leg pains!
I can't expect it all to be ponies and rainbows, especially after my three consecutive successful long runs (12, 15, 18). I'm not going to let this bring me down, i'm trying again on Tuesday at 6pm WITH a pacer for my last 7. I refuse to give up! 20 miles.. you will be my bitch. Kay, time to shower, stretch, and eat. Bye!
15 more days till the Pasadena Marathon.
**I'm starting my taper on Wednesday, gives me about a week and a half to lower my mileage.

Oceanic experts at North Carolina Maritime Museum share exhibits, artifacts, and artwork documenting the history and ecology of the sea near Beaufort. Your Groupon helps support the Museum Friends Group, a 501(c)3 nonprofit working to recover and display the infamous pirate Blackbeard's flagship, Queen Anne's Revenge. The group aims to bring the remaining half of the shipwreck into the sunlight, preserve all the historical booty they discover, and salute the accomplishment with proud hook hands. A membership treats fans of the briny to a one-year subscription to the museum's e-newsletter, as well as invitations to members-only previews, including the Blackbeard unveiling in June, a 10% discount at the museum store, advance notice of special events, and more. Other salty exhibits include The Coastal History and Heritage display, boasting artifacts on pirates, shipwrecks, boatbuilding, the seafood industry, marine science, and the tidal properties of large grilled-cheese sandwiches.
At The Children's Museum of Wilmington, kids have so much fun they won't even know they're learning. In each and every hands on educational exhibit, children take a central role, scanning purchases in the grocery store, giving teddy bears their yearly checkups, and experimenting with art-making media in the studio. Children are allowed to roam freely, as they direct their own learning experiences. Here's what you need to know before you go.
Size: 17,000 square feet
Eye Catcher: Ahoy Wilmington! features a pirate ship, where kids can fire the cannon, swab the deck, and dig for treasure
Permanent Mainstay: the Toothasaurus Dental Exhibit keeps kids up-to-date on dental health as they care for a dinosaur's enormous teeth
Don't Miss: the Grocery Store, where tots can role-play as customers or staff, even filling orders for the play diner upstairs
Hidden Gem: at the Forest Friends Toddler Treehouse, kids four and under don animal costumes, carom down slides, and put together puzzles
Pro Tip: the museum hosts birthday parties that include an educational activity and free admission for all guests
Special Programs: in addition to the hands-on exhibits, the museum hosts activities such as preschool science experiments and cooking classes for kids
Rather than relying on lectures and stuffy articles, Imagination Station Science and History Museum engages visitors of all ages in the sciences with a range of dynamic exhibits and interactive programs. The museum—housed in Wilson's former federal post office and courthouse—thrills guests with rotating displays as well as 22 permanent exhibits. These hands-on galleries house animal collections, which include live specimens such as turtles and albino lizards. A range of educational programs such as field trips, themed science day camps, and science demonstrations complement these exhibits. The interactive center is also a resource for local information—a small, regional history exhibit on the third floor detail local history and culture.
Ava Gardner was studying to be a secretary at the Atlantic Christian College when 12-year-old Thomas Banks met her while playing at the school's campus in 1940. A year later, the young boy learned his friend had signed a movie contract with MGM to become a movie star. From then on, he collected newspaper clippings and memorabilia tracing her film career, from her breakout role in 1946's The Killers to her lauded work in 1953's Mogambo with Clark Gable. Tom and Ava remained friends over the years, and, at her request, he unveiled his collection—more than 50 years in the making—in 1979 in Smithfield, her birthplace and eventual resting place.
Tom amassed more than 20,000 artifacts from Ava's career and private life, which now, among other pieces, fill the 6,400-square-foot Ava Gardner Museum. Among movie posters and awards stand the silk satin cape that Ava wore in publicity shots for The Barefoot Contessa and the black dress she donned in The Great Sinner. Her personal items include china, jewelry, 40 portraits of her by Bert Pfeiffer, and the engraved watch she gave to her third husband, Frank Sinatra. In addition to its permanent collection, the museum celebrates the starlet with its annual Ava Gardner Festival, which includes screenings of her classic films and heritage tours.
Within 93,000 square feet, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores manages to fit all of the state's and most of the world's main aquatic environments into five galleries. A 30-foot waterfall throws a cool mist over guests as they begin a journey that brings them to the Piedmont gallery, where the aquarium's three spunky river otters?Neuse, Pungo, and Eno?frolic and play poker underwater. Further exhibits promise other memorable encounters, such as the Dinosaur Adventure where visitors come face-to-face with the lifelike extinct creatures, and the Tidal Touch Pool where handlers let visitors touch skates, rays, and select invertebrates. At the epicenter lies the ocean gallery, anchored by a 306,000-gallon tank with a 65-foot viewing window. Sand tiger sharks and moray eels swim about the Living Shipwreck exhibit, a replica of a German U-boat that sank off the United States' East Coast in 1942. Behind the glass of another tank, a young loggerhead sea turtle named Nimbus flashes its gold-toothed smile and rare white coloration.
Divers host live shows twice a day in the ocean tank, answering visitors' questions via special equipment. They've also been known to assist with proposals, unveiling engagement rings as an unsuspecting fianc? peers through the glass. Beyond overseeing the standing exhibits, the staff also ventures outside for numerous educational programs and activities. Participants can catch crabs, fish in the surf, explore the marsh, take a paddleboarding class, or even explore the water on canoeing and kayaking outings.
The tall grass parts and small fish scatter as Barrier Island Excursions, LLC's stand-up paddleboards glide gently through the marsh. The outdoor adventure company specializes in tours designed to give people an up-close look at the Barrier Islands' delicate marine ecosystem without leaving a foot or fin-print. During the day or after the sun sets, a 38-foot 1936-model cruiser ferries groups out to the pristine beaches of Southport, Oak Island, and Bald Head Island, where everyone disembarks and steps onto their boards. Experienced guides give advice on how to maintain balance on the water and can lend assistance throughout each trip. In addition to ferrying paddleboarders, the cruiser also gives themed scenic tours, such as bird-watching expeditions, historical tours, or wine-tastings with food-pairings.
