Prof. Hornung believed that the lack of transferability between mice and humans might be associated with the specific target structures that CMA latches on to. The team working with Prof. Hornung was then able to identify the protein to which CMA attaches, its receptor, in mouse cells. However, the human counterpart of this receptor did not respond to CMA. When CMA binds to the receptor in mice, a signal cascade is set into motion that leads to the release of interferons which in turn boost the immune system. However, in order for this to work, CMA and its receptor must fit together like a lock and key. Together with the laboratory of Prof. Dr. Karl-Peter Hopfner from the Gene Center at the Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, the team from the Bonn University Hospital investigated the receptor variants of mice and humans in cell cultures and as purified proteins.
Animal models cannot easily be transferred to humans
"A few small differences in the receptor make the active substance completely ineffective in humans," reports lead author Taner Cavlar, postgraduate in Prof. Hornung's team. In humans, this prevents CMA from being able to latch its crucial receptor and release interferon, even though immune stimulation occurs in mice. "This is an example of the fact that results from animal models cannot always be easily transferred to humans," says Prof. Hornung. "Comparative investigations on human cells should take place at an early stage of active substance development."
Findings inspire the search for an antiviral drug
Since the scientists were able to figure out the exact structure of the mouse and human receptors, they now have an approach to see if there are conditions under which CMA could also arm the human immune system to fight viruses. This is now the next step which the researchers want to address with their colleagues. However, it will likely take many years u

|Senior Japanese tourists to Taiwan and their marketing potential: a case study
|Chen, Nai-Chieh Jessie
|For decades, Taiwan's tourism industry enjoyed the great number of Japanese visitors until a few years ago, when the growth rate slowed and even declined. This decline was caused by several factors such as rising price, high appreciation of the New Taiwan dollar, inconvenient visa application procedures, limited airline seats, rising public disorder, and strong competition from neighboring countries. With much money to spend the Japanese tourists were the most welcome group to the world tourism industry. The senior (50 years and older) members among them, in increasing quantity and good financial ability, have become even more desirable among the world's tourists. Information for this study was collected through library research, data collecting from Taiwan's Tourism Bureau and personal interviews with a manager of Japanese Airline and one of Taiwan's travel agents. An evaluation of Sino-Japanese relationship was done to identify major reasons for Taiwan to be one of the most popular destinations for the senior Japanese international tourists. Most of the senior Japanese tourists visit Taiwan for pleasure because they admire Chinese culture, Chinese cuisine, beautiful scenery, and it's good weather. Their expenditures are the highest among all the international tourist arrivals in Taiwan. Through making efforts (such as cooperation with Japan's banks in offering senior customers discounted trips to Taiwan, formation of a task force to carry out an " Senior Japanese Market Promotion Project," and planning and development of new scenic attractions) on maintaining this high-profit tourist group, Taiwan can keep up the revenue from tourism, even with very limited potential in total international tourist growth.

We never knew that this wonderful Bed and Breakfast even existed in the Plymouth WI area and we lived in Elkhart Lake for over 9 years before leaving the area. We recently had an anniversary dinner to attend in Plymouth and found Inn on Hillwind. We found this Inn to be delightful and very wonderful experience in the Plymouth WI area. We plan to come back often during various seasons of the year. Breakfast and snacks were fantastic. They are better than any Chicago Hotel or Fancy Hotel could offer. Cannot wait to go back. Wonderful and friendly owners.

A beautiful, peaceful country setting. Jean welcomed us with a warm, pleasant atmosphere with soft background music, a plate of wonderful fresh backed cookies just out of the oven, the smell of the house was wonderful coming in. She explained our options of coming down to breakfast or leaving it at our door. She was very helpful in explaining area attractions and any questions we had and left us a bottle of wine, a plate of those wonderful cookies, pop corn and a pitcher of hot water for tea if desired on the dining table. We stayed in the smallest room at the Inn which was clean and decorated with attention to detail with a cute private balcony which we sat out on with our glass of wine listening to the birds, very relaxing and peaceful setting. The breakfast was delicious and portions were more than adequate. We really enjoyed our stay and the walk down the road. Thanks for a nice get away!

A relaxing getaway in beautiful country. Our room faced out over the barn/silo in which I sat on our balcony sipping an early morning cup of joe listening to the faint rooster calls. Breakfast was to die for... amazing recipes. Afternoon cookies, cheese, crackers, wine was a nice treat to end our activities of the day. Service A++. A definite place to re-visit!

We were treated like family. Beautiful home thru out. We can't even described how much we love this place. This was our 2nd visit and we hope to go back soon. Thank you for wonderful memories.

Never having stayed at a Bed and Breakfast before, we wondered what to expect. Hillwind Inn is absolutely beautiful and we'd love to revisit it. This 160 year old former farmhouse is lovingly cared for by its owners, who welcome guests with home-made cookies every evening and delicious made-from-scratch breakfasts each morning. Lovely rooms--romantic fireplaces and comfy beds. Stunning views of Kettle Moraine. This place is fabulous!

Coming to Hillwind is like putting on a pair of comfy slippers -- instant relaxation! Beautiful setting, gorgeous decor, excellent hosts, and delicious food. Love the snacks & wine at night -- especially the cookies!

My husband and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary here. The location was perfect--near so much to do and to see, but very secluded and relaxing. Our room exceeded our expectations! It was cozy and very private. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Of course, the breakfasts were great!
on November 08, 2008
We originally visited Hillwind Farm on the weekend I asked my wife to marry me. I rented a plane at the Sheboygan Airport and popped the question about 5,000 ft. above Lake Michigan. We have returned every year since. Each year they never fail to impress us and make our stay as happy as the first time. We love it there. Jeff and Angie Schmitz

A dialogue is a facilitated conversation that creates a welcoming space for open discussion of important and sometimes controversial topics. While dialogue participants all have their own points of view, a dialogue does not organize discussion around opposing viewpoints. Rather, the dialogue process itself is deliberately non-polarized; it broadens awareness of many viewpoints without legitimizing any one point of view.
A dialogue does not aim to solve a specific problem or advance a particular agenda. It does seek to increase understanding through open communication across social and cultural differences and/or power differentials.

Why Read This Report2013 will be a transformative year for IT adoption in Asia Pacific (AP); multiple IT trends will converge to drive industry disruptions and help spur renewed growth in IT spending. Overall, we forecast that IT spending will grow by 4% across the region; growth will be closer to 8% if we exclude the large and slow-growing Japanese market. The adoption of new technology solutions in areas like analytics, cloud, and mobility will help drive this spending growth, along with government stimulus policies in China.

5.0 stars 19 totalReview Brian Laxton
Posted by a client
After I took the bar exam, I was called for a district committee hearing regarding my character and fitness. I had a tough panel, which did not recommend me for the Bar. Brian made sure that we would succeed at the standing committee level. He spent several late nights with me preparing for my hearings. In the end, he helped me hit a grand slam at a standing committee hearing, I was recommended to the Bar, and I ultimately got my license. Brian knows the ins and outs of the esoteric character and fitness process and his knowledge and skill proved to be invaluable. I can't recommend him enough to those who find themselves in a similar position.
Posted by Lydia
When I learned that I failed the bar exam by 2 points I was devastated. I was immediately referred to Brain by a friend who Brian had helped to successfully overcome a Character and Fitness issue. I quickly learned that Brian's expertise is not only that of C&F issues, but bar exam appeals as well. He walked me through every step of the appeal process with compassion and skill. Brian was honest and forthright about the uncertainty of filing bar exam appeals, but I knew that there would be no lack of effort on his part to present a strong, compelling argument to the Board of Law Examiners. Brian did just that! Brian is authentic, professional, incredibly understanding, and without a doubt an amazing attorney. Hiring Brian was the best decision I have ever made! Today I am a practicing attorney with the State Bar of Michigan because of Brian Laxton.
Posted by KMH
When faced with the possibility of appealing my bar exam, there was no doubt in my mind that I would choose to work with Brian. He is incredibly knowledgeable, straight forward and by far the best attorney that I have ever worked with. Brian walked me through all aspects of my appeal, and kept me apprised of all decisions along the way. He was incredibly thorough and would always respond to any question or concern, no matter how small. It is because of him that I was able to successfully appeal my bar exam to a passing score!
Posted by Scott
I hired Brian to represent me for my character and fitness review and for my DLAD hearing in 2014/2015. I got stung with 2 drinking and driving offenses during. My 2nd year of law school and knew I had a tall mountain to climb. Brian was extremely helpful, knowledge, honest, and diligent in every aspect of the relationship. He was always fully prepared and was a zealous advocate in front of judges and those who conducted hearings. He was excellent and thorough in preparing me for hearings and outcomes, and was sure to answer any questions I had. With his help, I was able to earn positive outcomes beyond what myself, Brian, and even LJAP and the State bar expected.
In short, Brian made it so that I had nothing to worry about besides passing the bar and doing what the DLAD and State Bar asked of me. I could not be happier with the representation I received. When it comes to the privilege to drive and/or practice law, you cannot afford anything but the best possible representation and advocacy. I can assure you that this is what you will get if you hire Brian Laxton.
Posted by a client
I retained Mr. Laxton to handle my issues with regard to the Character and Fitness process with the State Bar. The minute that I hired Mr. Laxton I felt confident that no issue was too big and he acted as both a counselor with regard to my issues as well as my personal concerns. He was able and willing to tailor his availability to my schedule and often would prepare with me late into the evening.
Mr. Laxton is extremely knowledgeable attorney and is well respected and well known in the community. Thanks to Mr. Laxton, I am now a practicing attorney and I owe much of my success to him.
Posted by Robert
I was very nervous going into the character and fitness process. I knew that I needed an attorney that would understand my circumstances, who was intimately familiar with the process, and could best prepare me. Brian was the best choice: he provided me with superior quality insight and strategy derived from years of experience, as well as invaluable peace of mind. I could not have gotten through the process without him!
Posted by a Licensing client
I had the privilege of being sworn in to the State Bar today and it would not have happened without attorney Brian Laxton's counsel and representation. After graduating law school I knew that past issues would likely require further investigation and--ultimately--approval within the State Bar's character and fitness process. When discussing these issue with trusted law school faculty and a number of Michigan attorneys, I was invariably told that I should talk to attorney Brian Laxton. I took their advice, and it was the best decision I could have made.
For those with character and fitness issues, the process of navigating that requirement to obtaining a law license is anything but intuitive and can be a significant source of anxiety. Considering what hangs in the balance, having an attorney like Brian in your corner makes every difference in the world. He explained to me the inner workings of the process--with whom we were working and where they fit in the larger picture. He drew on his years of considerable experience to explain what was important to those persons making the decisions affecting my future and why they were important to them. What's more, Brian Laxton thoroughly and objectively reviewed every detail of what was a fairly complicated case and provided an honest appraisal of strengths and weaknesses. He was very knowledgeable. And when my hearing came and attorney Laxton advocated for me, I knew I put my trust in the right lawyer.
Beyond the above, the way Brian Laxton services his clients is impressive. He returned every phone call and email in very short order. He would take time out of his personal life to answer questions, and he would always stick with me until my questions were answered to my satisfaction. Weekends, evenings, whenever...he always responded promptly and in a way that was helpful. They way he treats his clients ought to be a model for other attorneys. And lastly, beyond his expertise and knowledge in a rather esoteric area, Brian Laxton is just a genuinely good person who really cared about my success and truly wanted to help me become an attorney. I can't thank him enough.

Brian did a great job representing me through the process of Character and Fitness with the Michigan Bar. He was always prepared and knew what was necessary to help me prepare for the district committee hearing to ensure that I would receive a positive recommendation. He understood my case file inside and out and knew how to handle every detail. He paid close attention to my case as it went through the different committees up to the Board of Law Examiners and made sure that I was being represented appropriately.
Posted by a Ethics client
Mr. Laxton is a fantastic attorney. He guided me through the complex Character and Fitness process with a firm resolve and an impeccable attention to detail. I would strongly recommend Mr. Laxton.
Posted by a Ethics client
I retained Mr. Laxton for representation in a Character & Fitness matter before the State Bar of Michigan. Mr. Laxton came highly recommended and lived up to his reputation. He was knowledgeable in the applicable facts and procedure and proved a zealous and articulate advocate. Moreover, he was always available to answer any and all questions and, on a personal level, was able to put me at ease on several occasions during a very stressful and lengthy process. I also found his fees completely reasonable considering the length of time and effort required. Ultimately, his representation proved successful and I would, without reservation, recommend Mr. Laxton to any attorney or prospective attorney in need of representation in ethical or bar admission matters.

Marino's animal fighting bill signed into law
February 7, 2014
For Immediate Release
February 7, 2014
Washington, D.C. – Today, the president signed into law bipartisan legislation championed by U.S. Representative Tom Marino (PA-10) that will make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and will impose additional penalties for taking minors to such events.
Marino first introduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act in the 112th Congress, and again more recently in the 113th, along with 226 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle.
"As a formal federal prosecutor, I know the criminal culture that surrounds these types of events and I know the struggles our law enforcement officers face in having to rely on a patchwork of state laws," Marino said. "This was something that needed to be addressed at the federal level and I am pleased we were able to get this done with such a strong showing of support from Republicans and Democrats alike."
"Not everyone was supportive of our efforts to federally criminalize the heinous acts that take place at animal fights or lessen the ease with which organizers can deny culpability," Marino added. "I am grateful to Representatives McGovern, Campbell and Moran, as well as Senator Vitter, for joining me in pushing this to the finish line."
The bipartisan legislation, which was endorsed by a number of animal welfare groups and law enforcement organizations, faced significant opposition in the House Agriculture Committee. Despite the opposition, Marino's bill was included in the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act (FARRM Act) by an amendment added to the bill during committee mark-up which passed by a bipartisan vote of 28-17.
President Obama signed the legislation into law earlier today.
Enactment of Marino's provision will amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit any person from knowingly attending – or causing a minor to attend – an animal fighting venture. Offenders will be subject to fines and potential imprisonment.

Relatives in Hoi Noi
Mother's sisters and brother in Law and Niece
The drive from Parkbeng to Luang Prabang was quite hilly with majority of the road unpaved. The speed was drastically slow due to the narrow road along the way. I did not have to use the Gravol for nausea at this speed.
We traveled by some new Hmong and other hilltribe villages and stopped for visit to the villages along the way. These Hilltribes people were transplanted from remote mountain the last few years when the new roadway construction has been completed. I noted Australian government aids supporting the water systems in the villages along the mountain road. Most of these villagers do not see foreigner at all but due to the low water level on the Mekong River, a lot of the tours had to be transported via this new road and thus they start to encounter foreigners. They were quite curious to see blond and red hair especially the dyed one. People we met in Laos are generally quite friendly and shy.
Luang Prabang is a nice little city in central north Laos. It is an UNESCO world heritage site and thus you do not see the high-rises as in other city. The sky has been
Me and my aunties and uncle
cloudy through-out our trip in Loas, due in part from the burning practice used by hilltribe farmers. As we were driving along the mountain road, we can see burned out hills with burnt ashes remain. Our guide said the farmer like to use the burning process to create the ashes later for mushroom growing when the raining season arrived. It is too bad as most of the forest are being burned.
In Luang Prabang, we did a one day Mahout training course which turned out to be the best day of my trip. A Mahout is a person who train the elephant. We were picked up from our hotel and then we drove 15 minutes out to the forest to the "AllLao elephant camp". We were paired up to ride the elephant in the morning. We were encouraged to ride bareback behind the elephant's ears shortly into the ride. The mahout was behind with one of the other passenger. It was scary at first as you feel that you are so high up in the elephant that you can fall forward at any moment when it bend its head. My elephant was a younger one at age 15 while
Local market in Hoi An
most the others are over 15 years. The oldest one was 44 years old male.
My elephant's name is Boulathai and he could be naughty at time. He tends to stop mid way to munch on leaves and tree bark. But otherwise he was one of the elephant that can blow water, which was quite fun when you ride on its back in the water.
We had to cross a small river to the training camp. We were given uniform, short cotton shirt and pants.
Our instructor went over the commanding words in Laos and we have about 30 minutes practice before taking the boat back across the river to the elephant. I picked the same elephant from this morning to take it to the river to give it a bath. This time, the padding and seat are removed before I got on the elephant by commanding it to kneel down, MAL lONG. By stepping on his knee with my right foot and then attempted to get up to the back of its neck by lifting my left leg across. you have to move fast as I noted that the elephant got up before I settled down properly

on its neck. I could feel my right knee buckle a bit from the loose ACL. Holding on its big flabbing ears to secure myself and up we go.
I was gaining confident as we travel slowly down the forest. To direct it to the right, you apply pressure on you left knee or visa versa. We used Hoa to stop the elephant. But it will not listen to me unless the mahout shouted at it. My trainer did not stay up on the elephant in the afternoon. I kindna control the elephant on its way to the water for bathing. The Mahout helped me to get the elephant to the river and he then commanded the elephant to blow water at me. I got soaked quite quickly. I tried to duck a few time but still got wet as my elephant flow the water quite low over its back. I scooped the river water to wash its ears. The elephant's skin is quite rough with short spiky hair that can be quite painful if you brush against it directly.
The next day we drove to Vang Vieng, a small touristic town surrounding by limestone peaks and the
lilan with Mai's daughter
River Nam Song. We met loads of university students from all over the world who are drinking ++on the tube down the Nam Song River. You would not believer how many Bars and water swing along the river. I chose the Kayaking down the river which had several small rapids. Due to the low water lever, the rapid was not too difficult. I was partnered with the guide so not a problem there. According to my guide, he got paid about 60,000 to 100,000 kips per trip, which depending on numbers of trips, he might not gotten enough for a living. One USD=8400 Kips. Most of the people here trying to live on the tourist business. Young men try to learn to speak English or French or any other language so they can be tour guide which will give them a bit more earnings. The education system here is not that good despite the Communism. thus some of the poor people will send their kids to become Monks in the Monastery in order to receive free education. Two of our Laotian guides were educated that way.
Went to Vientiane for one day tour. I hired the tuk tuk to
Photo 9
take me around town and to my old Chinese School. The School pretty well unchanged which means it is in a bit of a poor state despite funding from oversea from Alumnus. Though there is some new construction going on for new basketball court.
The city is changing so much I could not remember any old street neighbourhood. Went to see the That Luang, the golden temple. The surrounding area has changed with new modern structure from the revolutionary government. The morning market is now a shopping mall which I guess kinda loss its flavor for me. Over all I think Vientiane was a disappointment for me.
We flew from Vientiane to Honoi, a very short flight, just 1hour. Had to put all the liquid stuff in the check in as our guide said they sometimes would not allow even if your liquid is under 100ml. Honoi city is quite congested and polluted now that everyone has a scooter. Remember 18th years ago when I was there, it was all bicycle. The traffic is quite chaotic but locals had no problem navigating the traffic. Us tourist had to be careful with just crossing the road. You need to decide
Photo 8
when to cross the road and walk onward and not going backward that way the scooter/car will know to go around you. We did not see too many traffic accident while we were there.
My Cousin Linh met me at my hotel and we went to Mom's Niece's home. Met most of my mother's family members including my aunts and their families. It was emotional seeing them again after 18th years. Everyone is getting older and the baby I saw years ago is now young mother or young lady. They all ask for me to bring my mother back to visit them!!.
The neighborhood where my family live has changed for the better with more mordern building and facilities. No more open sewage. You can sense that Vietnam's economy is booming and as such, in turn, the citizens' living also improve drastically.
Next we went to Harlong Bay, a busy touristy bay with lots of limestone peaks dotted along the China sea. We stayed on our Junk for 2 days. Our junk sailed out to the sea passing through many beautiful limestone peaks. 10 of us opted for kayaking to see the scenery. The water was so
family in Hoi Phong, Vietnam
calm that we did not encounter any wave at all. I noted couples of huge jelly fish on the water. There were also loads of plasty garbage on the water. In the morning, I noted cleaning crew on a garbage boat scooping up garbage on the water. Nobody try to swim on the beach when we get to one of the Cave due to the poor water condition. It is too bad that they allow too many tourist junks on the bay and now all the garbage generated by the tourist will destroy the site. Also notes some of the fishing villages along the bay. some of the ladies rolling their boat with seafood to sell to the tourist or the junks resturant. The food was plentiful on our Junk. It is a chain of Junks with same name but our has good crew and good food.
We travelled via Train to Hue, the old imperial palace. Our train was delayed for 4.5 hours during the night because there was a derailment sometimes during the night along the way. It was hot and stuffy in the small train sleeper compartment, we were 4 in one compartment. Along the way,
family reunion
visiting my MoM's sisters and cousins in Honoi, vietnam
we see lust green rice fields. The communist system here allow people to work for the rice fields and pay commission to the government. We can see that all the available lands are used properly for growing rice or vegetables. It is quite different when we get to Combodia where the land is drier and there is no coordinated aguicultural development.
Hue is an old city with old imperial court imitating the Chinese Forbidden city. most of the structures were bombed during the Vietnam war but what remained is still beautiful. We did a cooking class with Gioan, a local Vietnamese Restuarant. Our Chef was quite entertaining when coaching us in how to prepare local dishes. We had 4 courses meals after the class which was delicious.
We went on via large 15 seater van to Hoi An, another old city with strong Chinese influence. The old town centre is maintaining the old building with Chinese and Japanese housing structures intact. Cheap custom made clothing and shoe making are available. I got some summer shoes made for me. They are quite cheap for leather good. We did pass through The China Beach from one of the James bond
Pagoda in the middle of the Lake

movie. The tides were high so there were not much fishing activities. Notes some of the round bamboo basket fishing boats resting along the beach. I was hoping to get into one but not able to as there was not on for tourist to rent. The fisherman usually goes out by 5am in the morning to harvest. I rented a bike and bike around town in hot hot day looking for way to get to the beach. Had my lunch on the beach reclining on the beach chair listening to the wave coming in and out. What a wonderful day!!!
After spending 3 days in Hoi An, we went on to Saigon city, the southern most city. Even though it is now call Hou Chi Ming City, the southerners still prefer to call it Saigon. Our guide was a ex-southern army man, whom gave us lots of personal information on his time during the war. He is no longer bitter about his enemy and gotten along well with his old enemy. We visited the famous Cu Chi Tunnel in the outskirt of Saigon. I went into one smallest tunnel but needed help to get back up as you not
Bridge going over to the Chinese Temple in Honoi city
much footing to push yourself out of the hole. The maximum time you can survive in the old tunnel was 6 hours so the Viet con only stay there when there was enemy around. Most of the tunnels are collapsed and no longer can be used. I did climb into one 30 meter one and the air was pretty bad inside the tunnels. They had kitchen facility and air ducts in some of the tunnel. They used the termite mounts as their air vent for kitchens with some dried leaves covering. A smart way to disguise their where about to prevent enemy detection. The tunnel was so small only fitted for the small physique of the Vietnamese people. American soldier will get stuck in the tunnel even if they got through in the first part. They have created some smaller section inside the tunnel. I heard that one American ex-service man who came back to visit the Cu Chi tunnel after the war and was stuck in the tunnel and ended up died inside the tunnel because his guide could not pull him out in time to save him.
Back to Bangkok on the 11th after driving for 7-8
Scenery at Hoi Phong
hours crossing the Combodia/Thai boarder. When we waited on line to get through the Cambodia boarder, one of the immigration officer asked if we want quite exit that we will need to pay 200 bahts. We did not pay and get through ok. Expected a 1hour delayed going through both Cambodia and then walk to the Thai immigration check point with our smaller luggages. Our big luggages were sent by pully by our guide. No problem getting to Bangkok. It seems quite despite the blood shed the day before. I moved back to the hostel the next morning. Experienced my Thai water festival for the new year. Silom road is full of activities with vendors selling water guns and white paste for people to paste on each other. I got soak just walking outside my hostel. Music and dancing all night till 1am. The party will restart again next day by 1pm. My roommate went out late at night and he showed me pictures of street full of party goers after midnight.
Left Bangkok on the 14th of April and travel by Taxi from the doorway so I will not get wet. No problem getting out of Bangkok as

What a journey!
Hi Lilan, My daughter and son in law enjoyed the pics of Thailand,. They were there a few years ago and loved it. I can't get over all the wonderful things you are doing; tunneling, elephant rides and kayaking, visiting old and new places, seeing family. Just think of all the wonderful memories you will keep with you, at least until you get to be my age and then you can't remember what you did yesterday. We are having a really mild spring so I imagine paddling is more comfortable and fun. We miss you and look forward to hearing about your adventures. take care and be well cheers Beth

Cottonwood in Alaska
Somehow I managed to forget about the "snow in June" here in Alaska. This "summer snow" is from the cottonwood trees.
When I lived in the cabin in Talkeetna in 2007, right around June 20, 2007 it started "snowing" like crazy, with white stuff floating in the air like a gentle snow storm. After talking to some people in downtown Talkeetna, I learned that this cotton-like substance was from the cottonwood trees.
Here are two short videos that show the cottonwood snow. This first video is taken from my apartment in Palmer, Alaska:
This second video shows a cottonwood tree in Butte, Alaska, while I was out on a bike ride. (Sorry about the vertical video, I'll try not to do that next time.)
The floating cottonwood seems pretty harmless, but it makes bike riding a challenge, and one of the street vendors in Talkeetna told me he dreaded this time of year because it causes a lot of problems with his grill ventilation system.
Oops, I just remembered, I also have these two photos of the cottonwood in Talkeetna, Alaska from 2007.

What's up guys, my name is Mark Putong and I'm a filmmaker from Chicago and this is my new project Float. Float is about a young Physics student that enters into his own dream and the only way out is to use a girl "Sky" and a little bit of science.
This is my largest budget film to date and it'll be the first one that is entered into festivals. The help from you guys will really help make this possible for me.
Funding and Rewards
The goal for this is $1100. That is going to the following:
- Equipment rental
- Locations
- Food
- Production Insurance
- Set Design
I've put a lot of my own money into this and have exhausted my funds and just need that small bit extra to make this happen. Luckily I've cut down on costs by finding a great crew that will work for free and want nothing in return but a name in the credits. As well as some equipment donated to me and some locations to use for free.
A few of the rewards you guys can get that I really love are:
- You get a signed DVD with bonus features and bloopers and all that fun stuff
- You get to name a character in the film (within reason of course)
- A box of great things from the set (the scripts used on set with my notes and drawings in it, signed prop, signed DVD, original storyboards and artwork.
- Executive Producer credit

This week marked the four-year anniversary of the launch of the Iraq War, and Maj. Dave Ditz said he thinks the United States did the right thing, despite the change in public support.
Ditz, who served in Iraq with the 216th Engineer Battalion in Tikrit, said four years might seem like a long time longer than some Americans expected but it takes time to change a culture that was under an "extreme, brutal dictator."
"We need to stay there until they're ready. If we pull out, we'll lose all credibility," said Ditz, the K-9 officer for the Norwalk Police Department. He added that America still has troops in Germany, Japan and Korea. "If you're doing benchmarks and timetables, then technically we should have been out of there, too."
Norwalk resident Jeff Van Natta, whose son Carlo, a radio operator in the 101st airborne division, was seriously injured in Iraq injured last year by an IED, now has a daughter in the Air Force. Whether she is headed to Iraq, Van Natta can only guess, but his son, recovered from his injuries and currently at a base in Kentucky, more than likely has another tour in Iraq in front of him.
"He can deal with it," Van Natta said. "Before he didn't want to ... it's just a tough thing for him. His test will be the IED thing on his first patrol. If he gets through that, and I think he will, he'll be fine."
While he is torn about whether the United States should have gone into Iraq in the first place, Van Natta, a Vietnam era veteran, supports the increase in troop levels because he believes it will actually help get the troops home faster.
"Now that we're in there, we've got to stay there," he said. "We have to make sure (the Iraqi) people are safe. We have to finish the job."
The drop in public support for the war disappoints Ditz, who said America is safer because of the war.
"I think its a good thing we're doing," he said "We're safer there because if we're fighting over there, than we're not fighting here."
Ditz also said not enough of the good things happening in Iraq get reported nationally. For example, his battalion helped build numerous improvements to the area, including a police station. Instead, he said, the national media focuses on the negatives.
Of the 600 troops Ditz served with in the 216th, he said 95 percent are ready to go back and serve another tour, despite the fact that three members of the battalion were killed.
"They believed in what they were doing. They still believe in it," he said.
Van Natta, on the other hand, said his son does not talk much about the politics of the war, focusing only on the job he has to do while he's over there. The situation is difficult for the family.
"As a parent of a service person ... I worry every day he's over there I'm going to get a call or a visit. Every parent goes through the same thing," he said. The only time the Army calls or visits is to be the bearer of devastating news.
"I don't know if I could even answer the door."

The FAU football program picked up another big commitment when 3-star prospect Donnie Jennert from Saint Cloud High School decided to attend FAU. The 6 foot 6, 192-pounder also had offers from Colorado State and Baylor. When did he decide he wanted to commit?"I got there late on Friday because I had a basketball game, and then I went out with my host," said Jennert. I saw the school on Saturday morning. On Saturday night at dinner time I told coach Serna I wanted to commit and then I officially committed to Coach Schnellenberger on Sunday at Breakfast."Who did you hang out with on the visit?"Jared Pazzuti and David Kooi, I felt real comfortable around all the players and that I deserved to be there it felt good."Are you going to play tight end or wide receiver?"They are recruiting me as a tight end."What did Coach Schnellenberger say when you committed?"He was excited, but he did not want me to take any other visits. So I had to tell Baylor and CSU that I was canceling my visits." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Value-Based Benefit Design purchasing strategies encourage healthy behaviors while reducing costs
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- To assist employers in designing health care benefit programs that help people stay healthy, the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) has developed a Value-Based Benefit Design (VBBD) purchaser guide. Value-Based Benefit Design is an emerging employer trend to develop health benefit programs that use financial incentives, such as minimizing or eliminating a patient's out-of-pocket costs for high value services like prescription drugs and preventive care. Additionally these programs are designed to encourage adoption of healthy lifestyles (i.e. smoking cessation, weight management) and the use of high performance doctors and hospitals with the end goal of improved health and reduced health care costs.
The Guide, developed by the non-profit organization of nearly 60 employer-based health care coalitions, representing over 7,000 employers and approximately 25 million employees and their dependents across the U.S., is publicly available and can be accessed on NBCH's website. In addition to helping employers make the business case for VBBD, the guide stresses the importance of corporate leadership, effective communication and employee support services as part of an effective benefits package. The resource provides information on implementation steps, precautions and potential barriers, and specific examples/case studies of organizations that have successfully implemented VBBD programs including Caterpillar, Gulfstream, IBM and Marriott.
"As the health care reform debate continues, it's important that we also consider how to better align consumer incentives to motivate preventive care and healthier behaviors," said

I am studying for a C++ test, I have not been able to solve this:
I have data in a int* and I want to print it out to a char*
I thought I could do it the following way:
// pOutputString is of type char*
// pIntegers is of type int*
int pos = 0;
for (int i = 0; i< SIZE; i++)
pOutputString[pos] = char(pIntegers[i]);
if I iterate over pOutputString with iostream, I should get the tring representation (so 11 will turn into "11").
As part of this homework, I'm not allowed to use any third-party libs. If I want something, I must do it myself.

Eyewonder was sold to Limelight in 2009 for more than $40 million more.
The TV ad firm that acquired veteran rich media ad tech companies Unicast and MediaMind (formerly Eyeblaster) has bought EyeWonder. EyeWonder is another old name in the rich media ad delivery sector, and has always had a focus on video. DG acquired the firm from Limelight Networks for around $66 million in cash.
Limelight, a content delivery company, appears to have lost several million dollars in the deal. When Limelight announced the purchase in 2009, it said EyeWonder would cost it $110 million.
Gal Trifon, DG chief digital director and MediaMind GM, stressed the deal would help DG build marketshare among online ad platforms and help it better compete as an alternative to Google-owned DoubleClick. "This really creates even more critical mass," he said.
In particular, Trifon suggested the acquisition helps DG MediaMind in the German market, where EyeWonder has been a strong competitor. EyeWonder owns Chors, a German real-time bidding ad platform. Germany has a "very large consumer market and one that performed well for us," said Trifon.
EyeWonder is expected to bring telecom and entertainment advertisers to the mix, he added.
Ultimately, DG, whose core business is producing and serving TV ads, is buying up these online ad platforms in the hopes of developing a platform that enables easy conversion from a TV spot to a interactive digital ad, and enables cross-media measurement.
In June, Trifon indicated that DG MediaMind intended to bolster its online video capabilities, in part because many online video ad buys come out of TV budgets, like the ones controlled by DG's clients. DG's online division, which encompasses MediaMind, Unicast, and EyeWonder, has a staff of over 700 people, according to Trifon. It is unclear whether any changes for EyeWonder's management and employees are ahead. When asked about EyeWonder management structure, Trifon indicated that management decisions remain to be made. "This was very quick to happen," he noted regarding the acquisition.
According to a DG press release, the company anticipates EyeWonder will generate between $36 and $37 million in revenues in the full year 2011.

Rogoff Says France Key to Political Union Needed to Solve Crisis
Jan. 28 (Bloomberg) -- France needs an economic overhaul to revive growth and help underpin the political union required to stabilize the euro area, Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff said.
European governments' policy responses to the debt crisis, such as a "half-hearted" banking union and national budget oversight by the European Commission, aren't enough, Rogoff was quoted as saying in an interview published in German newspaper Die Welt today. European leaders need to start now with a push toward political integration that includes a European government with taxation powers, he told the Berlin-based daily.
France, Europe's second-biggest economy after Germany, is decisive because if the French don't reform and restore growth, "we can forget about everything else," Rogoff was cited as saying. "If France changes, Europe can make it."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel pointed to France's lag in competitiveness last year by criticizing the gap between German and French unit labor costs. She has cited research on debt and economic growth by Rogoff and fellow Harvard professor Carmen Reinhart to back up her debt-reduction policies.
The French economy is expected to contract 0.1 percent this quarter after shrinking an estimated 0.3 percent last quarter, according to the Bloomberg survey of forecasts published Jan. 17. That suggests France has slipped into a recession for the first time since 2009.
Swedish Resistance
Merkel's proposal for a Europe-wide "competitiveness pact," unveiled at the Davos Economic Forum on Jan. 24, faces resistance in European Union countries that aren't part of the euro area. Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said that Sweden opposes shifting more powers to Brussels, though he would agree to voluntary measures, Handelsblatt cited Reinfeldt as saying yesterday.
The European Central Bank's unconventional measures to stem the debt crisis lack political legitimacy and probably can't buy time for more than seven years, Rogoff said, according to Die Welt. Euro-area political unification, including a European president who stands above national leaders, might take 20 years to put in place and has to start now, he said.
The example of the U.S. shows that Europe can become a single economic space with joint policies, Rogoff told Die Welt. Since Germans would have to feel that they are getting something in return for underwriting such a union, each euro-area country has to deploy its strengths to the fullest, he said.
