Promega is changing the solution used to prepare the 10X Primer Pair Mix in the PowerPlex® 16 System from water to TE–4 buffer. We show that the amplification results with the 10X Primer Pair Mix prepared in TE–4 buffer are comparable to those with the 10X Primer Pair Mix prepared in water, even when we varied reaction parameters (the amount of DNA template, volume of TE–4 buffer, the thermal cycler used,amount of AmpliTaq Gold® DNA polymerase used and primer concentrations). Because the performance with both primerpair formulations is comparable, users of the PowerPlex® 16 System should see no adverse effects on amplification results.

The animal on the cover of Interactive Data Visualization for the Web is a long-tail tit or bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus). The bushtit is a common species of bird found throughout Europe and Asia. The caudatus group of the species has a pure white head.These birds are known for their tiny size, measuring at around only 13-15 cm in length, including their tail. The long-tail tit is recognized by its stubby bill, contrasted to its long, narrow tail. Females and males are indistinguishable, both undergoing a full moult before their first winter. Their adult plumage is primarily black and white with accents of grey and pink.The bushtit inhabits deciduous and mixed woodland, feeding on insects with a preference for eggs and larvae of moths and butterflies, and favoring oak, ash, and sycamore trees. They tend to nest in scrub areas usually closer to the ground.The cover image is from a loose plate of Hungarian origin. The cover font is Adobe ITC Garamond. The text font is Adobe Minion Pro; the heading font is Adobe Myriad Condensed; and the code font is Dalton Maag's Ubuntu Mono.

About Me Developer
Comments about oreilly Interactive Data Visualization for the Web:
This book will take an absolute novice to proficiency with D3.js. Not surprisingly the reviews are all positive on this site, and even though I'm an experienced developer, I can appreciate just how well-written it is for people new to javascript, or even without any prior programming experience - it's that good. Thoughtfully written, with masses of useful examples, the writer slowly builds up the complexity, without skipping steps or assuming familiarity with unspoken concepts. If there is one area I would have liked to have seen expanded, it was the chapter on pie charts, but what was given was certainly good enough for anyone new, and everyone who'd followed along to this point would certainly feel confident about tweaking the examples to suit their own purpose. I have over 100 programming books, and this slots easily into the top three.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great first book for D3js
By CindyJH
from Fort Lauderdale, Florida
About Me Designer, Developer, Maker
This is the first book that I have read on D3js. It was written exactly like I take notes. Gives description of topic, example of code, and line by line explanation of what is happening. I also went through the book with sample files very helpful. I would definitely read additional books by this author Scott Murray. I know that D3 can get very complicated but he wrote the book with the beginner in mind, simply describing the basic concepts. The format gives you the confidence to think "I can do this".
Great introduction to D3

Solid book

Very good hands on book!
By ovau

Very good for beginners in D3 - i also like the easy going way of explaining - sometimes it's hard to understand for foreigners where the teaching ends and the joke begins, but that will keep you awake;)

Excellent for beginners to intermediate
By Tim
from Netherlands
About Me Developer, Sys Admin
This book give great insight and a good start for people just beginning with D3. The examples are great and ramp up in difficulty over time. The only thing not so great is that it ends to early! Also, maybe some more adventures examples could be given. Charts and graphs are just one application of D3.
Very well constructed
By S. Peddenton
from Scotland
I have had this book for quite a few months now and I didn't think I'd want to leave a review but I can see others have taken the time so here I go.I have done some web development in the past and only recently picked up some HTML 5 books and now this book. I find it well constructed as I said int he title and well written.However, at times, I found it difficult to follow. I don't think it's the style of writing. It's just that sometimes the material is deep and I find myself lost. I suggest that the author make the style of writing a bit more easy to follow, that's the only thing I would suggest for the next edition of this book.

Ana and Novak Djokovic dropped just three games between them in their singles rubbers as Serbia crushed Germany to reach the final of the Hyundai Hopman Cup in Perth.
World No.1 Djokovic beat German veteran Tommy Haas 6-2, 6-0 thanks to a magnificent performance, which Ana all but matched by sweeping aside Tatjana Malek 6-1, 6-0 in only 37 minutes.
Ana was utterly dominant, winning 49 points to her opponent's 15. She didn't face a single break point all match, and hit 16 winners and only 11 unforced errors.
"I'm really pleased with today's performance," said Ana. "I played really well.
"We've been dreaming of this moment for so long so we're both looking forward to tomorrow", added Ana, who was forced to withdraw from the 2011 Hopman Cup final because of injury.
"This is very special. You cannot compare it to anything else. To play singles, watch the men's matches, and then play mixed doubles. I love it."
Ana and Novak then defeated Malek and Australian 16-year-old Thanasi Kokkinakis in a very light-hearted mixed doubles rubber.
They will face Spain in Saturday's final: Djokovic will clash with world No.24 Fernando Verdasco, while Ana will take on Anabel Medina Garrigues.

I want to make some changes to all of the document libraries in a site collection, but not make changes to any other lists. In PowerShell, how can I check whether a list is a document library, or a different kind of list?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
SharePoint Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for SharePoint enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
To see the all the lists in a site, and if they are a document library or not, this PowerShell script should be helpful:
I ran this on one of my sites, and it returned a mix of "GenericList" and "DocumentLibrary" as the BaseType property.
You can also look at the property $list.BaseTemplate along with $BaseType to narrow down the number of system generated document libraries that are returned.
Assuming you have instance of SPList in powershell, the BaseType of list would be SPBaseType.DocumentLibrary for list of type document library.
So that check may look like

Finally I've decided to build my own one with a wine barrel because I didn't want to destroy the look of my future-to-be terrace. I always found rain water collectors super ugly. It's usually an old plastic tank or barrel; handy but not very nice to the eye (and I didn't have the motivation to build something like this to hide it.
Anyway, here's how I did it.
- a wine barrel (found on eBay for 50 EUR) - make sure to get one with a lid and a cork (usually it's a special cork located in the belly part of the barrel)
- a rain water collector to hook up to the gutter (found on eBay for 19 EUR - but otherwise available in nearly all DIY shop) - I choose that model because the collected water would come out via a little tube and not an "open-air" half-pipe
- driller
- flat wood drill heads
- some screws
- an old piece of board about the length of the barrel's lid
- a handle
Step 1: Prepare the barrel's lid
Usually wine barrel's lids are a bit wobbly.
They are made of some planks inserted in each other, and are supposed to be inserted in a groove at the top, inside the barrel. Because of that I had to make the lid stronger so it would resist to frequent usage.
I found an old piece of wood board in my garage and screwed it tight at the back of the lid. I made sure to use rustproof (inox) screws. In order to be able to close the barrel and properly put the lid back on, (and because the lid is round) I had to saw the 4 corners of the board as you can see on the picture.
Last year we bought a new kitchen and we received two extra handles (don't ask me why), so I've decided to use one of them for my barrel.
The screws that came with the handle weren't long enough to go through the thickness of the lid + the board attached at the back. So I used a flat drill head to make a wider hole and reduce the thickness so I could properly attach the handle.
Make sure to place the handle in the middle of the lid, it's not only more beautiful but also easier to manipulate when you open/close the barrel.
i'm not a "barrel expert", but as far as I know, i think you'll have to remove or loosen the top metal band in order to be able to push a little bit the planks aside so the top can come off its groove.
the way it works now with my barrel is that the lid is no longer in the groove, but on top of it (see my drawing on imagehsack here). Personally the top came off quick easily, I only had to loosen a bit the metal band (I used a flat screw driver and a hammer to tap the band up)
hope this helps

Cell Viability - MRC5
We have developed a 1536-well cell-based assay for quantitative high throughput screening (qHTS) against a number of cell lines to determine in vitro cytotoxicity of small molecules. This particular assay uses the MRC5 cell line which is derived from normal human lung fibroblasts. ..more

NCGC Assay Overview:
We have developed a 1536-well cell-based assay for quantitative high throughput screening (qHTS) against a number of cell lines to determine in vitro cytotoxicity of small molecules. This particular assay uses the MRC5 cell line which is derived from normal human lung fibroblasts.
NCGC Assay Protocol Summary:
The CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay (Promega) is a homogeneous method to measure the number of viable cells in culture. The end point readout of this assay is based on quantitation of intracellular ATP, an indicator of metabolic activity, using the luciferase reaction. Luciferase catalyzes the oxidation of beetle Luciferin to oxyluciferin and light in the presence of ATP. The luminescent signal is proportional to amount of ATP present.
Using the CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay, the amount of cellular ATP was measured in the MRC5 cell line with complete culture medium following compound treatment for 40 hours. The assay was performed in opaque white Kalypsys 1536-well plates. In the screen, tamoxifen and doxorubicin were used as positive controls. Library compounds were measured for their ability to cause acute toxicity in the cell line, as reflected by a decrease in intracellular ATP levels, in a concentration-dependent manner. Data were normalized to the controls for basal activity (DMSO only) and 100% inhibition (100 uM tamoxifen). AC50 values were determined from concentration-response data modeled with the standard Hill equation.

Our course website system is called Moodle, which is a learning management system with an emphasis on communication, collaboration, and student involvement. It's extremely versatile and can be used for everything from posting class readings to hosting discussion forums and receiving (and returning) student assignments.
Hampshire and Five College students are automatically enrolled in course websites for courses in which they are registered. Instructors can add students to course websites if needed, but students should note that they still need to register for the course on TheHub.
Please note:
- Instructors must make their course website available to students. Until they do, students cannot access it.
- Instructors can add students and TAs to their course website as needed, though they do still need to add/drop on TheHub as appropriate.
- For help, please consult our Moodle Guide for Faculty, Moodle Guide for Students, or email email@example.com.
- Limited material from the old Athena course website system is still available to faculty. Visit athena.hampshire.edu to download a .zip file of materials for each site on that system.

Officials from three local charter schools were surprised to learn Tuesday that their charter renewals were denied by Ball State University.
"This was kind of a shock to us," said the Rev. Mike Nickleson, board president of Timothy L. Johnson Academy.
Ball State announced it will no longer authorize Imagine MASTer Academy, Imagine Schools on Broadway and Timothy L. Johnson Academy, effective June 30. The three local charters were among seven charters across the state whose charters were not renewed, including an Indianapolis Imagine school, Imagine Indiana Life Sciences Academy-East, according to a prepared statement.
Charter schools use taxpayer money but operate independently of public school districts.
Ball State, the authorizer of 42 charters across the state, revamped its renewal process this year, raising standards for governance, finance and academic achievement. Twenty charters were notified of their status Tuesday. Only four charters were granted five-year contract renewals. The remaining charters were granted three-year extensions with performance conditions, and two withdrew their requests for renewal.
Schools have 10 business days to notify Ball State if they will appeal the decision.
Letters were sent home with students from all three schools Tuesday, and Imagine also called parents at home using its automated system.
Based on meetings with Ball State officials as recently as two weeks ago, Nickleson said Johnson Academy officials and the board believed its charter would be renewed or extended.
Imagine Schools Inc. Regional Director Rachel Cirullo also said the school didn't expect the university to close its two Fort Wayne charters.
"They didn't give us any indication prior to (the announcement)," she said. "The options were a three-year extension, a five-year renewal or closure, and they never gave us any indication that (the decision) would be closure."
But according to Ball State, each school has had at least three meetings about the data used to make a decision about the renewal.
"None of these schools should be surprised," said Bob Marra, executive director of the Office of Charter Schools at Ball State. "We've advanced through methodical and iterative steps over the last two years to develop a framework that we believe will drive strong performance in our charter schools. And we've been transparently communicating with the schools about it since the summer."
Non-renewals were handed down based on academic performance and a failure to demonstrate that improvements could be made, according to Ball State's prepared statement.
"While we prefer to see these schools succeed, we have determined that their current success or progress isn't sufficient for seven of our schools," Marra said in the statement. "While I understand it may cause some short-term difficulty for families, it is a decision made in the long-term best interests of their students."
All three of Ball State's Fort Wayne charter schools fared poorly under the state's most recent accountability system that assigns A-F letter grades to schools. Both Imagine schools received Fs, and Timothy L. Johnson earned a D.
Nickleson said he believed it was more an issue of direction.
"I get the impression (Ball State) made a decision based on the direction they were going, and evidently we weren't in that plan," he said.
He said Timothy L. Johnson has always focused on being "a safety net for kids that have fallen through the cracks."
"We're dealing with students at the bottom of the net," Nickleson said. "It takes longer for our students to reach higher test scores."
He said he hopes the school can continue offering its services to an underserved, higher-risk student population.
The respective boards of the Imagine schools will decide whether to move forward with an appeal, Cirullo said.
"At this point, we're looking at the appeal process and discussing our other options," she said.
Nickleson said an appeal is a "high possibility" for Timothy L. Johnson. He said in the event an appeal is denied, the school will search for a different charter authorizer.
"We're looking for partners … for someone who believes what we believe," he said.
The other two charter schools in Allen County are Thurgood Marshall Leadership Academy and Smith Academy for Excellence. They are authorized by the Indiana Charter School Board and Grace College.
When Fort Wayne's other three charter schools were established, Ball State was among just a handful of approved authorizers.
Recent legislation established the Indiana Charter School Board, a statewide charter school board that can sponsor new schools and also allows 30 private, nonprofit four-year colleges to sponsor charters.
The Indiana Charter School Board has just launched its spring application cycle, with letters of intent due Feb. 1 and full proposals by March 15.
Claire Fiddian-Green, executive director of the Indiana Charter School Board, said nothing prevents any of the schools from seeking an alternate authorizer, but "any authorizer will look carefully at the reasons why another authorizer did not renew a school."

En español l Medicare is uncharted territory for most of the 10,000 people a day who currently come into the program. It's not a minefield exactly, but lurking in the undergrowth are pitfalls and traps that can be costly unless you take care to avoid them. Here are the top 10 Medicare mistakes to beware of:
Mistake No. 1:
Assuming you don't "qualify" if you haven't worked long enough
Earning 40 credits through paying payroll taxes at work — about 10 years' work — ensures that you won't have to pay premiums for Part A services (mainly hospital insurance) when you join Medicare. But you don't need any work credits to qualify for Part B (doctors' services, outpatient care, medical equipment) and Part D (prescription drugs), provided that you're 65 or older, and a U.S. citizen or a legal resident who's lived in the United States for at least five years. You may also qualify for Part A benefits on your spouse's work record, or you can pay premiums for them. But if you wait to sign up until you've earned 40 credits (pdf), you may end up paying permanent late penalties.
Mistake No. 2:
Failing to enroll in Part B when you should
Enrolling at the time that's right for you is critical. If you don't, you risk late penalties, in the form of surcharges added to your premiums for all future years, and delays of several months before coverage kicks in. If you have health coverage, beyond age 65, from an employer for whom you (or your spouse) actively work, and the employer has 20 or more workers, you can delay Part B enrollment without penalty until the employment ends. Otherwise, you need to sign up during your seven-month initial enrollment period, of which the fourth month is the one in which you turn 65.
Mistake No. 3:
Assuming you don't need Medicare Part B if you have retiree health coverage
Part B is optional, but you should carefully check with your retiree plan to see how it fits in with Medicare. In many such plans, Medicare automatically becomes primary coverage and the plan pays only for a few services that Medicare doesn't cover. So if you fail to sign up for Part B when you're required to, you'll essentially have no coverage.
Mistake No. 4:
Thinking you must reach full retirement age before signing up
Full retirement age for most people is now 66. But to avoid late penalties you need to sign up for Medicare at age 65, unless you have health coverage from your own or your spouse's current employment. You don't need to be collecting government retirement benefits to enroll in Medicare.
Mistake No. 5:
Not signing up for Part D because you don't take any prescription drugs
Why pay Part D premiums if you need no medicines? Because you don't have a crystal ball and can't be sure that you won't get some unforeseen illness or injury that takes expensive drugs to treat. (Some cancer drugs cost thousands of dollars a month.) Part D, like all insurance, provides coverage when you need it, but doesn't allow you to wait to sign up until the need becomes urgent. One solution (if you don't have drug coverage from elsewhere): Pick the plan with the lowest premium, so you get coverage at the least cost.
Mistake No. 6:
Picking a Part D drug plan on the basis of its premium or its name or because your best friend chose it
The best way to pick a plan is according to the specific drugs you take, because Part D plans do not cover all drugs and they charge widely differing copays, even for the same drug. You can compare coverage and costs for your own drugs among different plans by using the plan finder program on Medicare's website or by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227.

Bought for my daughter. She loves it. Great addition to her mixer. Best pasta everRead More
Works great!
Love everything about this kit.Read More
Why did I wait so long
I have been debating purchasing this attachment for a long time. I don't know why I waited. I've been rolling my pasta dough out with a rolling pin. This attachment allowed an hour long process to be completed in only 15 minutes. I love this tool and will definitely make pasta more often.Read More
Perfect Pasta!
Works great! Made Raviolo's (large ravioli). No issues at making pasta my first time!Read More
Perfect pasta!
After using our friends pasta set we decided to purchase our own. This set is fabulous, and the fresh pasta is wonderful. Easy to use!Read More
Works great!
The pasta roller worked perfectly, just like it should. I was able to roll out the dough without any problems and it didn't rip or tear any holes in the dough. The spaghetti cutter was great although if you are wanting to make a spaghetti that is more true to the size you have to roll the dough a little bit thicker so that it is more rounded. I haven't used the fettuccine cutter yet but I have no doubt that that will work just as well as the other two.Read More
Making pasta has never been so easy!
Got these for my husband, tried them out as soon as the box arrived. Very heavy, good quality and true to description. Be sure to watch the video (found one on Youtube), definitely helps the first time using the roller, got some good tips and tricks. Takes a little getting use to rolling the pasta, but it works like a charm! First batch he made was basil fettuccine. Going to make some more and try freezing and drying the pasta. So long store bought pasta, who knew making your own could be so easy!Read More
Very Happy
Oh my, using this noodle maker is so much faster & easier than doing it all by hand as I've done for years. When I tried it the first time, when I ran the dough through the roller, it looked like lace instead of solid dough. I had a large amount of dough so I rolled it a little with a rolling pen, cut it in strips & ran it through. It did fine then & went really fast. The cutter cuts them uniformly but I still had to pull them apart. I'm sure as I use it more, I'll get better at it but I still highly recommend it.Read More
New Pasta Maker
I am new at making pasta although I love pasta. The pasta roller, and cutters are very well made. 1 time usage was just OK, but the 2nd time usage was great !! I found a great pasta recipe on line "Homemade Pasta or Spaghetti for Kitchen Aid Mixers". I have not tried the recipes in the manual, because I really like the on line recipe. It also, clearly explained the speed and settings usage, this made my pasta making life a lot easier. I am happy we made this purchase!!!Read More
As expected
This product arrived as expected. The rollers seem very heavy duty and they work very well. I had a manual pasta machine before and after using this product, I could never go back. The set is pretty pricey but you have to expect that from KitchenAid.Read More

Great price!
very goods prices
price and for a gift.
needed one
The price was competative.
Have used a family members several times now and it works fantastic so it was time to buy our own!
Can anyone explain to me how their box was packaged? I just received this to give as a gift, I opened the box and the flat noodle one is dented and looks like it has flour on it. There was no wrapping around either of the 3 rollers. I have a suspicion this was a pre-opened/used/damaged box. Thanks!
I look at the tape to see if it's been opened before, but with my KitchenAid Pasta Rollers, each was individually wrapped and secure. Sounds like you did get more then you expected and someone tried it out and returned because no one would expect that a food product maker could be resold without packaging being in place. Dented and not complete, call customer service and they will stand behind your concerns about the quality of KitchenAid products from the manufacture.
The one I received had no dents, scratches or looked like it had been used in any way. The set is heavy and depending on how it was packaged & handled when it was shipped would be the difference. If it had flour residue in it then it was used.
How large is the widest setting on the pasta roller? I've used a hand crank machine for years and recently tried another brand of electric pasta machine (which broke the first time I used it). I found the initial setting to be significantly smaller than the hand machines which made it difficult to get a nicely shaped sheet of pasta.
We are unfortunately unable to get a response from the manufacturer regarding this product. We apologize for the inconvenience.
It is comparable to the hand cranked imperia that I use to have. Although the widest setting is good enough for pasta, it would be nice to have a larger setting for making crackers or for needing greasy dough.
Will this work on my Kitchenaid mixer Model #KSM1030B
list model #s that these attachments can adapt to
All kitchen aid attachments are supposed to work with all models of kitchenaid.

Midwest Living Review
There aren't many places you can drive alongside wild buffalo, but in Custer State Park these encounters are commonplace. Located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, the park encompasses 71,000 acres of awe-inspiring country. Massive pine and spruce trees cover the rugged granite hills. The park fills each year with campers, horseback riders, anglers and families escaping for their annual summer vacation. Custer offers numerous lodging options, including rooms at the Game Lodge (where President Calvin Coolidge famously spent a summer) and cabins at the Blue Bell Resort, Sylvan Lake Lodge and Legion Lake Resort. Restaurants and cookouts are available at each. The park's signature experience is the Wildlife Loop, an 18-mile paved drive that offers guaranteed views of bison, pronghorn, prairie dogs and burros that will try to beg food off passing motorists. The park is also known nationwide for its October Buffalo Roundup. About 10,000-15,000 people wait hours to catch a glimpse of 1,500 bison and a few bewildered burros thundering down the valley chased by dozens of cowboys and chase vehicles. The experience lasts only minutes but continues to be a big draw. To capitalize on the event, the park holds an art show the same weekend featuring mainly Western and Native American Art. Admission charged; daily park passes are $6 per vehicle.

Dr. Erel Laufer's Ratings

I am currently four weeks post surgery for a "neck lift" platysmaplasty procedure, and the results have exceeded my expectations. I am a surgeon, so I am, by definition, more critical than the average patient. When I reviewed Dr. Laufer's credentials, I was impressed by his training and qualifications. When I met him, I was even more impressed. He is a compassionate and passionate clinician who communicates well with his patients. At this point in his career, he could be "throttling back" but has instead created a state of the art facility... a testimony to his dedication and passion. He also has a support team that is phenomenal. My personal post op experience was uneventful. I took only tylenol for mild discomfort. The esthetic improvement, at only four weeks, is self explanatory. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Laufer not only for those in the Tampa Bay area, but for anyone, anywhere in the world. He is REALLY, REALLY good.

I have written reviews about Dr. Erel Laufer before. He performed a Rhinoplasty on me in year of 2005. I ONLY opted for a RHINOPLASTY. I was under anestesia for 6 hours. After I came out of surgery he told us he had to perform a septoplasty. I DID NOT OPT to have this, he did this at his own discretion. My nose crooked, my nostrils are two different sizes (I have photographic proof). He tried to make my mother pay for the septoplasty. I have posted about this on MULTIPLE review sites. Here in is TRUTH. I have witness from my family. Not to mention I have not been able to breathe right out of the left side of my nose since. Every review has been completely honest. He has sent me a letter from his lawyer saying that if I don't remove my reviews he will sue me for punitive damages. According to him "my procedures were proper" and this review along with the other ones are libelous. I will continue to make this known. His actions are unethical. I will be contacting the board about this.

I was fortunate enough to find Dr. Laufer after 5 breast surgeries performed by other plastic surgeons he was the only one able to correct everything!!! I also had problems with my nose, breathing was difficult and I had somewhat of a ski slope. He fixed my nose after another plastic surgeon had done it and it was not so good. He is the best plastic surgeon! I am forever grateful to him!!! He is very caring and took more time with me than all other previous surgeons put together. Everyone was wonderful. I highly reccomend him and I understand he has a new office in Dunedin called the Laufer Institute of Plastic Surgery!!!

I visited numerous plastic surgeons to see how they would propose to help me. I had a facial laceration scar from a dog bite. I heard a wide range of proposals, including one from a doctor who said she would make my scar larger in order to flatten it. One doctor seemed nervous and tried not to look at my scar as he stammered at what he might try to come up with. Dr. Erel Laufer calmly assured me that he could make my scar completely flat, smaller than before, and in a position that would be the least noticeable - and that the results would continue to last for me as I age. He of course was my choice out of 11 plastic surgeons I interviewed. The operation was an amazing success, and my results were way better than I had been promised. Dr. Laufer actually performed this procedure on me over thirteen years ago. My fantastic results remain like new from the procedure. I look like a normal person. Nobody can believe it when I tell them what my scar once looked like. Thanks Dr.!!!

He did my primary rhinoplasty. Not happy with it. Nostrils are crooked, and I will have to get it revised.

Dr. Laufer is a pompous. Fifteen years ago I asked for a breast reduction and removal of breast implants. His EXPERTISE advice to ME (pre op)was I don't think you will be happy without implants, because (according to him) I didnt' have enough breast tissue. I will decide "While I have you in surgery doing a breast reduction, if I THINK you need implants." he said. When I awoke, he told me he had to put implants in, because I would not have been happy without them. I was very disappointed at the news. I listened to this surgeon who I trusted. My wants and needs were not important, but only what was quickest and easist for him in surgery )for in his opinion I would look good). For the past 15 years, I have suffered with oversized breast (AGAIN)on a small frame until one of them finally ruptured and I had them removed. No implants replaced. I feel like a beautiful normal woman again, and I have plenty of breast tissue 34 D breasts on a small frame. I would not recommend him.

Dr.Laufer is the most amazing plastic surgeon! The best of my life was the day he gave me the most beautiful silicone breast implants. I went to several other doctors for consultations and no one quite understood where and how the implant needed to be inserted for my body and my situation. He sat down with me for over an hour and answered all of my questions to the fullest degree. After speaking with him I had surgery less than two weeks after my two year hunt looking for a surgeon. My breasts look so natural and I have never gotten more compliments in my life. I have never been happier. It is so easy to get dressed because thef size he did fits my physique perfectly. The placement is to perfection because he is so detailed as well as a perfectionist. I have no scars around my nipple and thy look beautiful. I highly reccomend him. He also did a few of my friends who look amazing as well, I've never been more secure and happier thanks to him.

I went to Dr Laufer for a breast augmentation on a referral and due his vast experience. I LOVED his nurses, but I did not think he was very thorough when answering questions and I felt as though he was trying to hurry me out (felt like that on all three visits). My results were fair, with the exception that one of the implants was larger than the other. He said my breasts were uneven (which is very common) but with an A cup you really couldn't tell. With the the 25cc difference between each implant, you can now notice one breast is larger. He should have spent more time taking my measurements!

Tuesday, July 03, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State University athletic department announced today that Steve Brooks has been hired as the women's tennis head coach. Brooks comes to ETSU after serving last season as the men's tennis head coach at The Citadel where he led the Bulldogs to a 10-13 record. He brings more than 10 years of coaching experience to the position, including stints at Wofford College (1998-99), the University of Tennessee (1987-90), University of Arkansas (1986) and Carson-Newman, his alma mater, in 1985. Brooks has also coached on the WTA and ATP circuit. He has taught players that ranked as high as No. 20 in the world and several players competing in the U.S. Open, Lipton International, Canadian Open and Los Angeles Open. During the last five years, Brooks coached junior players that won four USTA national tournaments and more than 10 sectional and more than 30 state titles.

Concrete is a familiar substance. Its durable nature and versatile applications have made its usage ubiquitous throughout our cities. However this primary building material is also extremely energy intensive to make and transport, and produces a significant amount of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. Can the omnipresent grey substance ever be reconciled as a green building material? Read on for our in-depth report.
Concrete's impact on the environment starts when limestone is blasted in quarries to make cement – the binder, or substance that sets and hardens it into a useful building material. Cement accounts for 7 to 15% of concrete's total mass by weight and is made by superheating (in coal-fired kilns) a mixture of limestone and clay and then grinding the resulting substance into a powder. When this power mixes with water, it forms strong calcium-silicate-hydrate bonds that can bind other particulates, like sand or gravel, to make concrete. The cement-to-water ratio determines the strength of the concrete.
Once limestone has been blasted and mined it is then transported to a cement plant, where the fuels used by the plant and machinery produce CO2 emissions. Next the limestone, or calcium carbonate, releases CO2 when it is heated to make the cement. Forty percent of CO2 emissions from the cement plant come from the combustion process and Sixty Percent of CO2 emissions come from the calcination process, according to the Cement Sustainability Initiative report produced by members of the concrete industry. The report also says that since calcination is intrinsic to the process, they must focus on reducing energy use associated with the manufacture of concrete.
Concrete producers also say that as concrete ages, it carbonates and reabsorbs all the CO2 released during calcination – but this process takes hundreds of years.The general consensus is that cement manufacturing produces about 5% of global CO2 emissions generated by human activity, and 3% of global emissions of all greenhouse gases. By comparison the transport sector is responsible for about 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, so concrete has a pretty hefty share of the pie considering it's just one material.
The problem stems from volume: According to the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, concrete is the most widely used substance on Earth apart from water. Approximately 2.35 billion tons of concrete are produced each year. That works out to a cubic meter, or about a 3.2- by 3.2- by 3.2-foot cube of concrete for each person on Earth every year, according to researchers at MIT.
And Demand is on the Rise: Concrete production has nearly quadrupled since 1970. Global cement output may reach 5 billion metric tons by 2030 due mainly to growth in China and India, according to a December report by the global conservation organization WWF. (The same report estimates the concrete industry's share of global emissions at 8%, and claims the industry is capable of reducing its emissions by 90% with current technology.)
So what does concrete have going for it?
It lasts. This is the stuff the Romans built their empire with. Concrete is highly resistant to heating and thawing. It's impermeable to air and wind-driven rain. And concrete is inedible, so bugs and vermin can't gnaw at it. This durability means that a building can preserve its concrete foundation or concrete exterior while replacing less durable parts like windows, insulation and plumbing (you get a point from LEED if you reuse a building).
A building with exterior concrete walls can also be energy-efficient, especially in climates that have daily temperature fluctuations. Even though concrete provides little insulation, it creates thermal mass that can store warmth or cold, reducing indoor temperature fluctuation. White concrete also reflects heat and can mitigate the urban heat island effect. LEED also awards points if you build concrete walls and a concrete ceiling with no coating.
A Locally-Sourced Material: Another reason concrete is so popular is because the raw materials to make it are prevalent in most of the world. For the eco-conscious builder, this means it can be locally-sourced, reducing CO2 emissions from transportation. Of course, "local" is a relative term – advocates in the cement industry claim that "the cement, aggregates, and reinforcing steel used to make concrete and the raw materials used to manufacture cement are usually obtained or extracted from sources within 300 miles of the ready mixed, precast concrete, or masonry plant."
Concrete can also be be recycled – to a point. The concrete industry web site concretethinker.com says: "Most concrete in urban areas is recycled as fill or road base and not placed in landfills. Concrete pieces from demolished structures can also be reused to protect shorelines, for example in gabion walls or as rip rap." Used concrete can also be reused as the aggregates in new concrete. Concrete's recyclability is limited because its chemical properties change over time and with each processing. Other materials can be recycled as aggregates in concrete.
Some progress has been made in reducing the amount of emissions in the concrete manufacturing process. The English company Novacem says it has created a cement (patent pending) that uses magnesium silicates, which do not emit CO2 during combustion. Its production process also runs at lower temperatures and the cement absorbs far more CO2 as it hardens – enough to more than offset the amount generated during manufacturing. A California-based company, Calera, claims it has discovered a cement-manufacturing process with a negative carbon footprint. Calera's technique, remniscent of how some corals produce reefs, is to filter carbon dioxide emissions through seawater to create a chalky carbonate byproduct. This cement substance is then mixed with aggregate and water to create concrete, sequestering carbon emissions and avoiding the need to heat the ingredients, the company says.
Is It Green?
The reality is that even if new technology truly achieves a carbon-negative manufacturing process, greener cements (like ones requiring complex facilities to shoot emissions through seawater) won't be as affordable or accessible in the developing parts of the world that are consuming concrete most voraciously. Significant CO2 reductions won't be possible without heavily subsidizing the industry in poor countries.
The importance of durability should not be trivialized, but today's concrete is not green. A combination of new technology and efforts to decrease energy used in manufacturing is needed so that perhaps tomorrow's concrete can be.

[…] Concrete and wind turbines have a strange relationship — the material requires tremendous amounts of energy to produce and accounts for 5% of global CO2 emissions, but it is essential for the installation of large wind turbines. Several months ago a report stated that hundreds of offshore turbines could potentially collapse into the sea due to poor grout mixture being used in the bedrock and poured concrete base. Then it was reported that the base, made of cement, sand and gravel, was not holding the turbines firmly enough, causing some turbines to shift several centimeters since installation. […]

The green philosophy has to be measured in terms of comparables. While it may seem that cement and concrete are not "green", I'd say that by any comparable measures they are some of the greenest materials known to man in relative terms. If we simply devise an equation to consider the parameters involved and used time as a factor, concrete would dwarf all other materials in green utility and sustainability, longevity, functionality, strength, and energy use, recycables, and emmissions. Do we have any other materials that can repace it in the volume and specific types of applications in a real comparable way with better green properties? No. Is it polluting the environment so much that you can see the pollution, like coal? No. Does it need replacing every 25-50 years like many of the other building materials, even when installed properly? No.
Is it polluting our river and streams? No.
Are manufacturers trying to improve its processes and making progress to use more recycle materials and other advances to make it even better? Yes. Are CO2 emmissions a concern and being worked on as a means to make concrete even greener? Yes.
Until our tiny little planet loses it vital need to shelter people, transport goods and services over rivers, streams, and harsh terrains, and provide the economic means to sustain societies, we should remember to APPRECIATE concrete and the amazing green nature of our planet's finest material. Sand and rock are amazingly green, but they doesn't quite fill the build for many of our more pressing requirements.
Try visiting and living in a few countries without it…and I think you're begin to appreciate what concrete makes possible.

the terms 'concrete' and 'cement' need to be defined more clearly and not used interchangably. That's the huge issue here. Most concrete products manufacturers pick their cement supplier based on their sustainability initiatives. Every major cement producer in the world is working as hard as possible to reduce their carbon emissions. The fact is, concrete structures use fly ash to reduce cement volume, and the fly ash would normally be landfilled if not used for this purpose. Also, most concrete mixes use less than 1% admixtures- most if not all of which are completely contained in the concrete and won't leech out into the soil if buried. Concrete structures also use 90%-100% recycled steel for the reinforcement they require. The rest of the concrete structure is sand and stone, and again, most major concrete products manufacturers are or should be picking their aggregate and sand suppliers based on the suppliers' committment to rehabilitating the quarry once it is no longer useful. Subdivisions, commercial parks, etc. can be built, without issue, on a rehabilitated quarry.
Just remember, CEMENT only makes up approximately 15-17% of a CONCRETE structure, and according to the UK concrete industry sustainability report, the embodied CO2 associated with the production and transport of an average tonne of concrete is 95 kg. Very small compared to alternative materials.

1 cubic meter is about 35.3 cubic feet–to correct one of the commenters' comments.
The article is basically sound until they get to the part concerning how much concrete is made worldwide. We are making about 2.7 – 2.8 billion metric tons of hydraulic cement each year worldwide, not concrete. The concrete made using this cement (I will include mortars in this figure) would be on the order of 19 – 25 billion metric tons (let's say, 22 Gt for a middle of the range)–this is about 3 metric tons per person on the planet–each year.
Carbonation of concrete (i.e., the calcium silicate hydrate component) is extremely slow and usually very incomplete, even after decades to centuries. But during the hydration of the cement, free lime (becomes hydrated lime) is released and this lime amounts to roughly 20-30% of the original CaO in the cement analysis. It is this free lime that can readily carbonate if exposed to atmospheric CO2. The problem is getting the CO2 in contact with the lime–it's a slow process (absent high pressures) in thick, intact structures. It is relatively rapid in high surface area applications (thin walls, stuccos, sidewalks, etc…) and can be fairly fast in demolition debris.
March 9, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Don't forget about the hundreds of admixtures possible with concrete, including the ones from recycled sources such as fly ash. These can have a huge impact on the performance and environmental impact of the material. Fly ash is a byproduct of coal power plants that can be used to replace significant portions of the portland cement. It is also important to consider the vast amounts of steel reinforcement that go into concrete structures. Alternative reinforcing materials and details can help decrease the steel tonnage on a job and make the material more "green".
And like billolive said, we must think about what alternatives there are to concrete as well. In most cases where concrete is used, structural steel is the only viable alternative and it requires much more energy to produce.

After visiting Malaysia where a lot of limestone is collected for use in concrete, it makes me cringe inside when I see concrete being used. Beautiful natural limestone hills, with trees growing all over them and around are cut down so that they can get all the limestone out of them. The end result is a flat landscape with nothing but desolate land underneath.
I talk of this hills like the ones of the famous Batu Caves: http://www.flickr.com/photos/creazione/2592470217/
I can see the need in our modern lives for such a material, but honestly, it puts it into perspective whenever I see it being used anymore. Beautiful landscapes being flattened so that we can build bigger buildings? The destruction of a beautiful thing.

Kudos for this kind of reporting – I would love to have much more like this.
I believe if we are to be serious about creating "sustainability" then we must take the time to underpin our discussions and decision-making with just this kind of basic analysis – sadly lacking from most media coverage of "green" design.
Again, thank-you.

One thing I always see missing in the "concrete is not green" argument is the simple fact that, in many cases by using concrete you don't cut down trees! Concrete is faster, easier to use, longer lasting and replaces wood in many cases where it would take incredible amounts of lumber to achieve the same structural integrity. Translate 2.35 billion tons of concrete per year into the same number of trees being cut down and run those numbers would ya? We should just work on upping the efficiencies of its creation. A replacement might be nice, but then so would zero point energy, 150mpg cars, technological advancements instead of technologic suppression, hmmm come to think of it this list could go on and on and on………..

This doesnt cover supercritical concrete that is made using co2 which draws out the water and cures the concrete. Supercritical concrete also offers the ability to absorb large amounts of co2 in the finished products.

Ever had one of those nights where you just really shouldn't have even started knitting?
I began this wishbone pullover sweater a few years back (from Irresistible knits). Just as I was finishing the last piece I realized that I would be short yarn.
Hi everybody,
Here's a shot of my new projet.

Hello everyone,
Just posted a new blog entry and interested on your thoughts: How do you find time for your knitting? Do you take what you can get? Or do you set some time aside each day?
I made this hat for a co worker's daughter she asked another person to make her the hat but was told "sure but I will have to charge you" so I said don't worry about it I will be more than happy to ma
I made it without any pattern
I liked this yarn because it reminds me of the color my hair was about 6 months ago
So, I'm Sticking my hand's into the Koolhaas Cookie Jar, and let me tell you, it's not as easy as I was expecting.
