Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime SteakRead MoreWith live jazz music, USDA Prime steaks aged at least 21 days, and the freshest of seafood, Pete Miller's Seafood & Prime Steak is a living tribute to the colorful life of Harold "Pete" Miller. Miller grew up an avid hunter, studied History in college, and earned a Purple Heart as a marine in WWII. He even spent time slinging hats, before eventually settling on becoming a music salesman—a profession that would ignite his love of jazz and lead him to the rhythm-rich city of Chicago. Once settled, he discovered the Davis Street Fishmarket in Evanston where he became a regular, albeit outspoken, patron. He incessantly offered recommendations and recipe suggestions, eventually inciting the chef to hand him an apron and shout, "Do it yourself if you think you know so much!" Miller accepted the challenge and kicked off his culinary career with his usual flair and spontaneity. Today, the pair of restaurants proudly carrying his name keep his legacy alive, hosting live jazz almost every night of the week, just like he would have wanted. In addition to the regular dinner menu, which features the likes of whole steamed lobsters and bone-in fillets, there's also a bar menu that boasts more casual eats, such as burgers and sandwiches dressed in khaki slacks. The Wheeling location's 250-seat patio features a granite bar with room for 50 people, as well as three huge fireplaces.1557 Sherman AvenueEvanston, IL US
Wilmette Chop HouseRead MoreFor Chef Rob, cooking fine cuisine is a family affair. He learned his skills at the knee of his Sicilian grandmother, who taught him everything he knows about how to run a kitchen. Today, he still hones his recipes in a similar setting, cooking furiously as his wife and daughter stand ready to dutifully taste his creations. After finishing his at-home experiments with the daily haul from the local market, he heads to Wilmette Chop House to begin preparing food for that night's hungry customers. During the dinner rush, Rob welcomes many of the same faces that he laughed and joked with at the market that morning. He oversees a grill filled with filet mignon, lobster tails, and his signature double-cut bone-in smoked pork chops. These delicious proteins come out hot on the heels of fresh-baked bread, acquired from Heavenly Hearth Bakery just around the corner. To wash down Chef Rob's creations, bartenders mix up the restaurant's signature cocktail—the Thin Mintini. In addition to describing the drink's refreshing taste, the beverage's name also hints at the building's history; the venue once served as the original bakery for the Girl Scouts of the USA. Not content to cater only to two of the five senses, Rob also retains the services of professional musicians at his piano bar on most evenings, who wow audiences and reviewers with their skill at the keys and with catching food tossed at their mouths.1162 Wilmette AvenueWilmette, IL US

Improved top-level icons support in Mustang
What's the problem?
In Java™ 2 SE 5.0 and previous releases a single method in
java.awt.Frame class enables developers to specify an icon for the frame:
setIconImage(Image image). This image had an arbitrary size and it was scaled to represent frame's icon in a different locations.
Let's assume that application is running on Windows platform. Icon that was set to the frame is used in several places: on the frame's title bar, on the button on the system taskbar, in the window list when switching to another application by pressing Alt-Tab. The taskbar icon usually has a 16x16 pixels size, the title bar icon size varies depending on the user settings, window list uses a 32x32 sized icons. Thus, if we specify an image of 16x16 pixels size, it will look fine in a taskbar and ugly when switching to another application. The 32x32 pixels image has the similiar problems.
More icons
In the Mustang release the following new method is introduced to the
java.awt.Window class:
setIconImages(List<? extends Image> icons). Using this method you can supply as many images as you need to represent window's icon.
How does it work? Every time either the system or window manager needs an icon for Java window, it examines the list of specified images and searches for the image of the most appropriate size. Exact definition for this 'most appropriate' size is platform-dependent.
Dialogs icons
You may have already noticed that the new method is added to the
java.awt.Window class, not to the
java.awt.Frame class. In particular, this fact means that you can now set an icon for Java dialogs as well as for frames. This feature is extremely important for parentless dialogs introduced in earlier Mustang builds.
If no icon is set for a dialog, it inherits the icon from its parent window. If a parent is
null - that means the dialog is parentless - the platform-default icon is used. If a parent is not-
null and no icon was explicitly set for the dialog, then the icon is inherited from the parent window.
When will this API be available?
The answer is: it is already available, since Mustang b85 build was released at the end of May. However, some minor improvements are planned for the next Mustang builds.

The chilling hour: tales of the real and unreal /
|McDonald, Collin,
Harper Trophy 153p. 20cm. 92-5522. $3.95., 1992

Reviews :
Deborah Abbott (Booklist, Dec. 1, 1992 (Vol. 89, No. 7))
Often story collections suffer from unevenness, but happily these eight tales vary only in subject matter. Once again McDonald's skillful pen brings readers to the edge of their seats with mounting tension. Whether the story involves being snowbound in an isolated mountain cabin ("The Driver"), or waiting for a heart transplant ("Brothers"), or using a box of rattlesnakes effectively ("Deadly Warm"), there is always an unexpected twist that jolts and satisfies. The element of believability, essential to plots of this genre, flows smoothly, never making readers question it. The appealing jacket, a weird combination of images taken from several of the stories, will draw readers. Middle school youngsters crave scary stories, and this collection is sure to send them back to McDonald's Nightwaves: Scary Tales for After Dark and forward to wait eagerly for his next volume. Category: Older Readers. 1992, Dutton/Cobblehill, $14. Gr. 6-8.
(PUBLISHER: Cobblehill Books (New York:), PUBLISHED: c1992.)
Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews, 1992)
A snowed-in, freezing family almost makes the mistake of climbing into the Black Van that stops for them...a locket with an old photograph becomes a slow, deadly trap...a substitute teacher returns to his hometown after many years to take revenge on the children of his tormentors...a seemingly ramshackle house proves to be a gateway to past and future. Readers who enjoyed (if that's the word) the author's Nightwaves: Scary Tales for After Dark (1990) will find these eight simply told stories similar, if somewhat milder, fare. Despite occasional flashes of bone and blood, McDonald relies on irony or shock, rather than explicit glue, for his effects, and not all of these tales have a supernatural element: in "The Diving Bear," Karen watches a sad circus animal escape its captivity with a fatal fall, and Billy drives away his brutal stepfather in "Deadly Warm" by putting rattlesnakes in his bed. Plenty of unsubtle shivers. 1992, Cobblehill/Dutton, $14.00. © 1992 Kirkus Reviews/VNU eMedia, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sherri Forgash Ginsberg (KLIATT Review, July 1994 (Vol. 28, No. 4))
Here are eight short stories that are not frightening or scary but are creepy enough to make the reader think about each one long after reading it. In one story a young girl disappears into a locket picture, and in another a cruel stepfather awakes from a drunken sleep only to be frozen in fear by the poisonous snakes sleeping in his bed with him. A particularly eerie tale is about two foster children who discover a diabolical plan to kill one boy and use his organs to keep the other one alive. These are stories that will make young YAs shudder and think. Category: Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror. KLIATT Codes: J--Recommended for junior high school students. 1992, Harper Trophy, 153p. 20cm. 92-5522., $3.95. Ages 12 to 15.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- To protect the health of African Americans in Maryland, the Black Nurses Association of Baltimore and the Greater Baltimore Urban League have joined together to support a National Health Insurer Code of Conduct from the American Medical Association.
In Maryland, a large portion of the state's racial and ethnic minorities, including African Americans, face significant barriers to health care, including obtaining coverage for treatments and medications prescribed by their providers. More Maryland doctors are finding their ability to care for their patients negatively impacted by third parties. Combined with the cost of treatment, these health disparities can make it extremely difficult for patients to manage their disease and maintain a quality of life.
"In Maryland, African Americans with chronic diseases have problems gaining access to the right treatments for their conditions," Patricia Meadley, President of the Black Nurses Association of Baltimore, stated. "They're just not getting the care they need."
The American Medical Association's (AMA) Health Insurer Code of Conduct focuses on four areas: transparency, accountability, clinical autonomy and patient safety and welfare. This will help address health disparities by providing patients with clearer information and open communication about their health plan and place a responsibility on health insurers to act in the best interests of its patients. It also gives prescribing authority back to doctors to treat patients as they see fit instead of having treatment options dictated to them through insurance practices
The code of conduct limits health disparities by forcing health plans to be accountable and by allowing doctors to make clinical decisions that are in the best interests of their patients. While many managed care organizations maintain appropriate focus on quality me

Researchers are set to begin the first federally-approved clinical trial on the effectiveness of stem cells from stored umbilical cords in treating symptoms of cerebral palsy.
In select cases, doctors are already using stem cells from umbilical cord blood to improve mobility in children with cerebral palsy, which has shown success anecdotally. But the research set to be conducted at the Medical College of Georgia will be the first clinical trial approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The study will focus on 40 children with cerebral palsy ages 2 to 12 whose umbilical cords were stored at an Arizona stem cell bank at birth. Half of the study participants will be infused with stem cells from their own umbilical cord and half will receive a placebo.
Scientists believe that stem cells can help repair injured brain cells and replace dead cells.
Doctors will examine the children three months into the study, when significant improvement is expected. At that point, patients who received the placebo will be infused with stem cells.
Then at the six and nine month marks, doctors will reexamine all of the patients as well.
"Evidence up to this point has been purely anecdotal," said Dr. James Carroll, chief of pediatric neurology at the Medical College of Georgia and principal investigator on the study. "While a variety of cord blood stem cell therapies have been used successfully for more than 20 years, this study is breaking new ground in advancing therapies for brain injury."
Though the stem cells show promise, researchers say they do not expect the treatment to serve as a cure for cerebral palsy.

my daughter is 8 years old and she has cerebal palsy and i want to know if a umbilical cord of a younger brother can help her to improve her condition if it was used.?
Genesis I have asked the same question myself. No one in the us will give any child stems cells that are not from their cord blood. In other countries they will give stem cells that are not from the child's own cord blood but the child would have to go through one round of chemotherapy before they would get the stem cells.
Does anyone know of a case where an older child(8) has had good results with cord blood stem cell translation. With using this own cored blood or a sibling.

by Christopher R. Poulos, President, ACS University of Maine School of Law Student Chapter; Chair, Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion Program Subcommittee, City of Portland, Maine.
The United States now has more incarcerated citizens both in raw numbers and per capita than any other nation on Earth. Over two million people are currently incarcerated in the United States, up from around 200,000 as recently as 1975. The vast majority of prisoners are economically disadvantaged and lack college degrees, and many did not graduate from high school. The number of minorities incarcerated, particularly black males, is disproportionately larger than their percentage of the general population. Liberals – and now conservatives, including the Koch brothers and Newt Gingrich – are finally calling attention to the long ignored issue of mass incarceration. The current focus on this matter by both ends of the political spectrum makes this a ripe time for positive change.
One way to immediately begin addressing the daunting issue of criminal justice reform generally – and mass incarceration specifically – is to divert eligible low-level offenders away from the criminal justice process entirely. The program is called Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD), and one of its many objectives is to transform and transcend the relationship between police and the residents they serve into something more positive and less adversarial. The idea began in Seattle and has also taken root in Santa Fe.

Although the study found an association between higher levels of TMAO in the blood and increased risk of cardiovascular problems, it did not prove a cause-and-effect relationship.

2008 Scion xB Ownership Costs
Cost of Ownership data coming soon
There is no cost of ownership information available for the 2008 Scion xB Base Hatchback at this time
2008 Scion xB Base Hatchback cost of ownership data is powered by
Ownership costs are the costs to purchase and operate a vehicle over a period of time. Understanding these costs may enable you to save money and help you make a wiser decision when choosing your next new car.
Regardless of the "value" claims that you may read in car reviews or hear in advertisements, the economic value of a car is based on how much it will cost to own and operate compared to its purchase price. In a sense, purchase price is "what you pay" and the ownership costs are "what you get."
Ownership costs can differ greatly. The cost to own and operate two different vehicles with equal purchase prices can differ by thousands. Of course when evaluating ownership cost for used cars and trucks, a vehicle's condition and mileage will greatly impact ownership costs, therefore it's important to compare similar vehicles in similar condition for an accurate picture.

Basic Warranty:
The basic warranty covers everything except items that are subject to wear and tear or replacement in the ordinary course of vehicle ownership, such as oil and air filters, wiper blades and brake pads. Tires and batteries are often excluded, but usually have their own warranty provided by the manufacturers of those items. Emissions equipment is required by Federal law to be covered for five years or 50,000 miles.
Drive Train Warranty:
In some cases the drive train warranty continues after the basic warranty has expired. This part of the warranty covers most of the parts that make the vehicle move, including the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft. Like the basic warranty, consumable parts such as hoses and belts are not covered. However, most of the internal parts of the engine, such as the pistons and bearings, which are also subject to wear and tear, are covered by the drive train warranty.
Roadside Assistance:
Many manufacturers provide a service that will rescue you if your car leaves you stranded, even if it's your fault. Lock yourself our of your car? Run out of gas? Got a flat tire? A call to the manufacturer's toll-free number will result in somebody showing up who can help you out. There is a huge variance in these programs so check ahead of time to see what is covered and what you will have to pay for.
Rust or Corrosion Warranty:
Rust or Corrosion Warranty: This warranty covers the vehicle's sheet metal, and protects you from rust and corrosion that are severe enough to cause a hole - surface rust is not covered. However, if you keep your car washed and waxed rust shouldn't be a problem.

There is 2 databases: "temp" and "production". Each night production database should be "synchronized", so it will have exactly same data as in "temp". Database sizes are several GB and just copying all data is not an option. But changes are usually quite small: ~100 rows added, ~1000 rows updated and some removed. About 5-50Mb per day.
I was thinking maybe there is some tool (preferably free) that could go trough both databases and create patch, that could be applied to "production database". Or as option just "synchronize" both databases. And it should quite fast. In other words something like rsync for data in databases. If there is some solution for specific database (mysql, h2, db2, etc), it will be also fine.
PS: structure is guaranteed to be same, so this question is only about transferring data

5 New Things I Learned at #SCGS2013 Jamboree Including New Data on the Hockey Gene
. . . and a few wild and crazy discoveries about my genealogy friends.
Next Gen MeetUp at Jamboree #SCGS2013
1. The Genealogy Generation Gap Has Been Zapped!
The Chart Chick Janet Hovorka is really on to something with her new book, Zap the Grandma Gap -- If you didn't know it already, genealogy has become a multi-generational passion, and a look around the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree conference proves it!
The exact numbers haven't been released, but as a long-time Jamboree attendee, I could see that Y- and Z-generation Jamboree attendees, speakers, and exhibitors were present in greater numbers than ever before at the 2013 event.
The 2013 Student Genealogy Grant recipient Mike Savoca was a first-time Jamboree attendee, but he found plenty of student-company with Elyse Doerflinger, Anthony Ray, Mike Melendez, and other young genealogists.
The new NextGen Genealogy Network held a standing-room only virtual meet-up organized by Elyse to introduce Jamboree to NextGen organizers.
A look 'round the exhibit hall showed new faces with new products, too. Treelines' Tammy Hepps was on hand to show off her online new story-telling software after winning the Developer's Prize at RootsTech 2013.
2. Genetic Genealogy is HOT!
Everyone was talking about the DNA Day held as a pre-conference event on Thursday, June 6. Each session sounded better than the last, featuring respected scholars and researchers presenting on various aspects of genetic genealogy.
I was sorry to miss this event, but will be sure to catch it if there is an encore next year! You know a conference is good when the audio-visual recording staff is still talking about it two days later.

3. Genealogy Blogging is Not Going Away
I was privileged to join Paula Stuart-Warren, CeCe Moore, Judy G. Russell at the Bloggers' Summit moderated by GeneaBloggers' Thomas MacEntee. This annual event is a touchpoint for genealogy bloggers and gives a good sense of how we got where we are and what to look for in the future.
With over 3,000 genealogy blogs currently listed at the GeneaBloggers website, it's clear that blogging has found an audience in the genealogy community. You'd think that everyone was reading genealogy blogs, but in reality, I heard a comment after the summit that only about 10% of genealogists regularly read blogs. If that figure is correct, a lot of family historians are missing out on some great resources.
Although each panelist admitted that there just isn't time enough to read all the blogs we'd like to cover, no one saw blogs diminishing in popularity anytime soon. In fact, one of the first questions from the audience was about starting a genealogy blog.
4. Genealogy Can Be Really Really Funny
Dan Poffenberger's presentation at the Sunday morning scholarship breakfast was the best early-morning wake-up call I've heard in a long time. He gave a VERY humorous look at some of the actual records he's found along his research career, including pre-cradle to post-grave excerpts of parish registers, census records, wills, and other documents. Dan also revealed a hint of what it's like growing up with an unusual surname.
5. Researching the "Hockey Gene"
Inquiring minds wanted to know: Is "hockey love/obsession/passion" acquired or inherited? So, I went to the best source I know for All Things Hockey: Rhonda R. McClure (aka "nationally recognized genealogist and lecturer on New England, immigration and naturalization, Italian, German, institutional, fraternal and computerized genealogy. . .").
Rhonda's name pops up frequently as a genealogy lecturer, and nearly as often on Facebook cheering on her ice-favorites. I figured she was the go-to resource for this specialized research query.
The question: "How did you become interested (read: obsessed) with ice hockey?"
Her answer: "I'm from New Hampshire."
So, there you have it. Geographic Genetics.

In the best of times, most members of Congress are to fiscal irresponsibility what alcoholics are to the bottle -- unable to resist even though they know they should. So imagine how our leaders will behave once they are told that budgetary indiscipline is no longer a vice but a virtue.
That's the counsel now from some economists and all three major Democratic presidential candidates. With a possible recession looming, they insist the federal government needs to provide a stimulus to the economy by spending or rebating money it doesn't have. That will put more cash in the pockets of consumers, who will then spend it, boosting the fortunes of companies and their employees and staving off a downturn. Or so the thinking goes.
Hillary Clinton has proposed a package that includes money to help homeowners pay mortgages they should not have taken out, as well as funds for "alternative energy investments" that might fail the cost-benefit test on their strict merits, and possibly direct rebates, too. Barack Obama wants to provide immediate tax cuts of $250 per person, while encouraging jobless workers to remain jobless by extending the time they can collect unemployment benefits. John Edwards' plan includes many of the same elements.
But skepticism is in order. Any money that the government lays out, after all, will not drop miraculously from the sky. Since the federal budget is already running a deficit, those funds will have to be obtained the old-fashioned way -- by borrowing. More money would be spent by those who get the help, but less would be spent by those who provide it. So the whole transaction may add up to not much more than zero.
Giving money to people, as Obama urges, is the most direct type of stimulus. Oddly, though, there are only paltry grounds to prove it actually works. In 2001, the Treasury mailed rebates of $300 to $600 to taxpaying households, something the Bush administration later credited for invigorating the economy. In reality, later studies found, people generally declined to go out and spend, preferring to save the money or pay down debt. The booster rocket never left the launch pad.
Back in 1993, by contrast, President Clinton said a fiscal stimulus was essential to revive economic growth. But Congress refused, and the productive sector somehow managed to grope its way, unstimulated, into the longest peacetime expansion in history.

Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the UK with over 37,500 new cases diagnosed annually. Thanks to a £40,000 donation by healthcare provider, Simplyhealth, World Cancer Research Fund UK can continue with its two-year project that is working towards developing an early warning test for people at high risk of this disease.
Led by Dr Maria Velasco-Garcia and a team of scientists at the Open University's Department of Chemistry and Analytical Sciences in Milton Keynes, the project aims to develop an innovative non-invasive urine test that will assess the level of DNA damage in the cells that line the colon in presence of a diet high in red meat, which increases the risk of developing bowel cancer.
Teresa Nightingale of World Cancer Research Fund (UK) comments: "There is now convincing evidence that eating lots of red and processed meat increases risk of bowel cancer. Research indicates that high consumption of red meat can damage DNA in the colon and this damage to the cells is what the new test hopes to measure as an early warning sign of the disease. This is an important step in the right direction and eventually could lead to a test that helps us to identify people who are at high risk. By funding this research they are helping us to progress with this potentially life saving project."

Right now, the ITC is 30%, but it's set to drop to 10% for utility-scale and commercial projects (and will disappear completely for residential projects) in 2016. The last time the expiration date loomed in 2008, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) fought hard and succeeded in getting it extended until 2016. President Obama recently called for a permanent extension of the ITC, which was music to most solar industry ears, writes Tony Clifford, CEO of Standard Solar and SEIA board member.

Massachusetts Lawmakers Lift NEM Cap, But Fail to Act on Broader Legislation
With the clock running out on its 2014 session, the Massachusetts Legislature has agreed to a short term fix to address the bottleneck of solar projects across the Commonwealth by immediately raising the cap on net metering.
Massachusetts Approves Legislation Designed to Expand SHC Technologies
In a move expected to spur solar heating and cooling (SHC) deployment across the state, the Massachusetts Legislature has approved SB 2214 and sent it to Governor Deval Patrick for his signature. This important legislation will allow renewable thermal technologies, including SHC, to be eligible for alternative energy credits under the Massachusetts Alternative Portfolio Standard (APS).
Arkansas utility pushes for state's biggest solar array
An Arkansas public utility is poised to offer its customers a choice of sun alongside its standard nuclear and hydro-powered fare, fattening the state's super-slim solar industry.
Entergy Arkansas Inc., a subsidiary of Entergy Corp., yesterday announced a 20-year power purchase agreement with solar developer NextEra Energy Resources, which will supply the company's solar generation if a proposed 81-megawatt solar facility gets the green light from the state's Public Service Commission.

Not to meddle, but someone who enjoys rangefinders should buy this. Like the Lynx 14 this has an exceptional lens and a mechanical smoothness that is unique and very nice to use.
Plus this is one of only a few leaf shutter models claiming a shutter speed of 1/1000, and being this type of shutter it will flash-synch at that speed. As you probably know, that's really important for outside photo work with a fill flash.

Watch one man's journey around Iceland on a bicycle. A fun travel documentary overflowing with waterfalls, volcanoes, and flat tires. Read more
Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on April 23, 2013.
Watch one man's journey around Iceland on a bicycle. A fun travel documentary overflowing with waterfalls, volcanoes, and flat tires.
About this project
Hi, my name is Murtza. For a long time I have been fascinated by Iceland. It is the combination of the country's remote location, natural beauty, and Viking heritage that intrigues me. This May I am packing a camera, a bicycle, along with an adventurous spirit, and traveling to Iceland, where I will film a documentary that tells the story of the country's stunning landscapes and friendly people.
"Iceland on Two Wheels" will follow my three-week journey on a bicycle around Iceland's 832-mile Ring Road, a highway that runs around the island. When I am not cycling or hiking to see waterfalls, you will see me talking with local people to understand Icelandic culture. To keep costs low while filming this documentary, I will be sleeping outdoors in a tent and be cooking my own food using a small stove. I hope to capture all of this on film.
With your help, I can make this documentary and share it with the world!
Covered in the Documentary
I plan to shoot about 20 hours of content, and edit this down to a 70-minute travel documentary about Iceland's landscapes and people. The story will follow my 832-mile bike ride around the island. Some of things you will see in the documentary:
- Brief history of Iceland.
- Attempting to learn a few basic phrases in Icelandic.
- Eating Hákarl, fermented shark.
- Interviewing local people.
- Exploring the two biggest cities in Iceland, Reykjavik and Akureyri.
- Hiking to see waterfalls and volcanoes.
- Cycling through the Icelandic countryside.
- Bathing in the Blue Lagoon.
- Flat tires.
- And more.

- 1. Reykjavík
- 2. Borgarnes
- 3. Blönduós
- 4. Akureyri
- 5. Egilsstaðir
- 6. Höfn
- 7. Selfoss
What are my qualifications for making this documentary? I have a lot of experience getting things done. For example, here is a book I wrote called "Start Importing from China" and here is a website I launched called WikiCancel. Second, I have a lot of travel experience, which makes me comfortable in foreign countries. Third, I am not afraid of trying things or approaching new people, which means you will see a lot of interesting things on the documentary.
- May 5, 2013 - I will fly to Iceland.
- May 5, 2013 to May 22, 2013 - I will start biking.
- May 25, 2013 - I will fly back to the United States.
- May 26, 2013 - June 14, 2013 - I will edit the documentary.
- June 15, 2013 - I will publish the documentary.
Please message me if there are any particular things you want to see in the documentary, and I will do my best to include them.
If you live in Iceland and I can interview you, please send me message. Alternatively, if you know somebody in Iceland who would be interested in participating in this documentary, please send their information and I will contact them.
Questions, Comments, or Advice
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or advice. You can either send me a message through Kickstarter or reach out to me using the contact information listed on my website: http://murtza.org/.
Risks and challenges
I have never biked more than ten miles in one day, so filming this documentary will be physically challenging on my body. If I survive the journey, another potential challenge is that the documentary could take longer to edit than I estimate.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Heat-Moon Plumbs the Plains
Mary Warner Marien. Mary Warner Marien, who writes from LaFayette, N. Y., teaches fine arts ., The Christian Science Monitor
IN his previous book, the enduring bestseller "Blue Highways: A Journey Into America" (1982), William Least Heat-Moon strayed from the expressway to follow minor roads in the United States leading to places like Nameless, Tenn., and Dime Box, Texas. Along the way, he found that the squiggling meanders of the secondary roads that mapmakers mark in blue are more symbolic of the American character - and characters - than the straight and standardized four-lane "red" interstates. "Blue Highways" offered palpable assurance that the heart of the country was inventively, if not always virtuously, offbeat.
There are echoes of "Blue Highways" in "PrairyErth," which draws its name from the old geologic term for the soils of the central grasslands. Standing in the monotonous and bleak terrain of the Flint Hills in Kansas, the last remaining large expanse of tall-grass prairie in the country, Heat-Moon ruminates on the emotional pull of the area. "I don't much understand why I am here," he muses, discerning almost instantly that whatever the reason it is not "to explore vacuousness at the heart of America."
To get to the "Blue Highways," Heat-Moon started out from the middle of the country. "PrairyErth" begins there, too. Yet, by the previous book's standard of 13,000 miles and 38 states, Heat-Moon barely journeys at all. Instead, he resolutely surveys the biology, geography, and history of each quadrangle in the 744-square-mile portion of Kansas known as Chase County. What emerges is a series of deep-cored moments of time, with all the layered fecundity and intrigue of a geologist's freshly drilled sample.
Better, perhaps, one should say that Heat-Moon shares with English poet William Blake the profound suspicion that one can fathom the world in a grain of sand. Under his intense delineation, the sparsely populated Great Plains county swells to the proportions of a sovereign territory, whose richness lies in the accumulated human and natural history deposited there.
In synoptic retelling, "PrairyErth" sounds a little too calculated, like an old-timey Americana gift shop conveniently located in a rest area along the interstate. Indeed, a selected perusal of the quotations, anecdotes, lists, and interviews compiled by Heat-Moon will yield heartwarming nuggets. Few can resist stories like that told about Populist congressman "Sockless" Simpson of "Medcine" Lodge, Kan., who, when asked why he misspelled the name of his own town replied, "I wouldn't give a tinker's durn for a man who can't spell a word more than one way."
But in Chase County, the quaint and the whimsical lie hard by a frequently tapped vein of irony. …

Cancer therapies targeting specific molecular subtypes of the disease allow physicians to tailor treatment to a patient's individual molecular profile. But scientists are finding that in many types of cancer the molecular subtypes are more varied than previously thought and contain further genetic alterations that can affect a patient's response to therapy.
A UNC-led team of scientists has shown for the first time that lung cancer molecular subtypes correlate with distinct genetic alterations and with patient response to therapy. These findings in pre-clinical models and patient tumor samples build on their previous report of three molecular subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer and refines their molecular analysis of tumors.
Their findings were published in the May 10, 2012 online edition of the Public Library of Science One.
Study senior author, Neil Hayes, MD, MPH, associate professor of medicine, says, "It has been known for about a decade of using gene expression arrays that "molecular subtypes" exist. These subtypes have molecular "fingerprints" and frequently have different clinical outcomes. However, the underlying etiologies of the subtypes have not been recognized. Why do tumors form subtypes?
"Our study shows that tumor subtypes have different underlying alterations of DNA as part of the difference. These differences are further evidence of the importance of subtypes and the way we will use them. For example, the mutations are different which may imply much more ability to target than previously recognized. Also, we are starting to get a suggestion that these subtypes may reflect different cells of origin that rely on different cancer pathways. This is further unlocking the diversity of this complex disease." Hayes is a member of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The team first defined and reported in 2006 on three lung cancer molecular subtypes, named according to their genetic p

The LSSU Dance program has provided me with excellent opportunities I could
not have received at any other university. My ultimate career goal is to obtain
a Clinical Doctorate in Speech-Language Pathology and find alternative forms
of communication with my patients. The dance program has allowed me to
choreograph and produce works of art that incorporated sign language as well as
work with children of all ages. Because of these opportunities I am well prepared for
my future goals and am set apart from other students in a very competitive field.

Elise Grayson, cat lover and representative of Stop Cat Pee Now, offers great advice to cat owners. "As inconvenient as cat urination in your bed is, it is important to remember that cats cannot communicate with us, so, the only way they can alert you to an issue is through urination."
Rather than getting angry with your cat, it is important to understand the reasons why this behavior is happening in the first place. The guide, "Thinking Outside of the Box" provides these reasons and countless other techniques to maximize your success.
Below is a sample of the vast amount of information in the guide:
•Toilet training your cat as opposed using the litter box
•Effective ways to integrate new family members into your home to reduce your cat's stress
•Tell Tale symptoms that your cat needs to see the vet
The techniques within the guide are designed to work within 4 days or less have been tested and proven over many months and over many cats. The 60 day money guarantee is an added reassurance to the product's effectiveness.

text: I'm new to the art glass collecting hobby. My main interest is Scandinavian art glass. I found this at a garage sale. To me, it looks like Scandinavian glass and I am wondering if it could have been made by Holmegaard around the 1950s. I've uploaded the image into my profile. Any suggestions?
