Tampa, Florida – O&P News has announced Arlene Gillis, LPO, Program Director a member of its inaugural edition of the O&P News 175 – an elite group of 175 O&P professionals who O&P News has identified as leading innovators in the field of orthotics and prosthetics. Read more.

The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists is dedicated to promoting professionalism and advancing the standards of patient care through education, literature, research, advocacy and collaboration. This month they spotlight Arlene Gillis, our director of the J.E. Read more.
We offer courses for current licensed professionals and certificates for those wanting to get into the field of orthotics and prosthetics such as orthotic fitter, mastectomy fitter and pedorthist. See our full course descriptions.
Since 2005, SPC has been a national leader in developing and providing Orthotics and Prosthetics training through its $11-million J.E. Hanger College of Orthotics and Prosthetics. This expanding allied health field involves evaluating, fabricating and custom fitting artificial limbs and orthopedic braces to help rehabilitate patients with disabling conditions. Demand for these professionals is increasing, as are the educational requirements.
Our Associate in Science Degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics Technology prepares technicians who can fabricate, repair and maintain quality orthoses and/or prostheses under the direction of certified orthotists and prosthetists.
Extensive laboratory experiences are necessary in O&P education to master planning processes and materials fabrication skills. The O&P building has 5,151 square feet of actual lab space and another 3,443 of lab support space (CAD, machining, lamination, plaster room, thermal forming, mill/lathe, material testing, etc.).
SPC provides:
Demand for O&P professionals continues to grow, as do the
educational requirements. Careers in orthotics and prosthetics include
practitioners (certified orthotists and certified prosthetists),
pedorthists, assistants, fitters and technicians. The practitioner level
provides comprehensive care, including assessment, treatment plans and
practice management, and requires a master's degree. Those who assist
practitioners at various levels need post-secondary training and
Changing demographics and health factors will significantly raise the demand for trained O&P professionals. In fact, a recent study by the National Commission on Orthotic and Prosthetic Education estimates that without an increase in O&P graduates, the number of practicing orthotists can serve just 61% of patients who need them. The study also projects the number of people using prostheses to increase by 50%. Some reasons for the expected rise in need in the United States include:
Since its inception, the O&P program has partnered with Hanger Clinic, one of the largest providers of orthotic and prosthetic services in the U.S. The Hanger Clinic is a long-standing benefactor of the program and partners with SPC on educational, clinical and material management activities.
Other partnership opportunities exist in research, enhancement and development of products and materials, including:
SPC has partnerships with more than 50 clinical agencies in Florida, including:
As the pre-eminent professional organization in orthotics and prosthetics, the mission of the American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists
is to promote high standards of patient care through advocacy,
education, and literature & research. In keeping with this mission
the Academy is the professional organization representing practitioners
credentialed by the American Board for Certification in Orthotics and
The American Board for Certification in Orthotics and Prosthetics
(ABC) is the national certifying and accrediting body for the orthotic
and prosthetic professions. The public requires and deserves assurance
that the persons providing orthotic and prosthetic services and care are
qualified to provide the appropriate services, and it was on this basis
that the ABC was established as a credentialing organization.
The American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association
(AOPA) is a national trade association committed to providing high
quality, unprecedented business services and products to O&P
The International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics
(ISPO), is a multi-disciplinary organization comprised of persons who
have a professional interest in the clinical, educational and research
aspects of prosthetics, orthotics, rehabilitation engineering and
related topics.

organization representing people who have experienced amputation or are

amputee education and support groups for amputees, professionals, family
members and friends of amputees, amputation or limb loss related
agencies, and organizations.
The Orthotic and Prosthetic Assistance Fund
(OPAF) is a nonprofit organization, a 501(c)(3) public charity,
established and incorporated by the Orthotics and Prosthetics National
Office. Dedicated initially to providing financial and in-kind support
to the 1996 Paralympics, the Fund now generates its own initiatives
through partnerships with individuals, organizations, and institutions
engaged in raising public awareness of physical disability; and
improving the quality of rehabilitation medicine, science, and
is an Internet portal dedicated to providing comprehensive information
and services to the orthotics and prosthetics profession. The vision of

Not what we were expecting
From the photo I thought we were staying in a different hotel.
There was a cigarette butt in the fire grate in the room which was disappointing as I think our room was supposed to be a showcase. The breakfast staff were sweet but seemed overwhelmed and disorganised. However the reception staff were brilliant - very informative, funny and keen to please.

our rooms
i went with my very elderly parents ,my daughter and my sister and nieces.
our room room 11 was fine
my parents room room 4 was alright but my parents are elderly and my dad kept hitting his head on the shelf above the sink when washing .Being elderly my dad needed to rest at times in the day -he was above the gym and found the music was really loud and found it really annoying 2 days running .I did inform the staff who were very helpful and got it turned down but it needs to be looked into as it was very loud . On arrival we got a complimentary tea or coffee but i do not know why children could not get a free squash etc as well. my sisters room 47 developed a leak in the ceiling during heavy rain but the staff were great and moved their items to another room but it was then quite a long way from us . the pool was nice ,the bar and restaurant and diner all lovely . i would stay here again as great location but would be very fussy and about which room i had !. i would recommend a friend but only after telling them about our stay so they were prepared . we nicknamed it the lovely fawlty leaky hotel
The food was lovely .It is a beautiful hotel and just needs some work on the decor.staff very helpful and did their best to help.

Perfect location and friendly staff
we had a fantastic time in Torquay, location of hotel is brilliant, the staff were all very friendly.
The hotel is in the process of a make over which is much needed. No complaints except the mattress on the bed was very old, needed replacing a long time ago. Would recommend hotel to anyone and look forward to seeing the results of any further improvements.

Grosvenor hotel review
Stayed 3 nights booked at last minute, got a great deal.
Having seen the Channel 4 show thought we would give the Grosvenor a try, yes the hotel is run down in places and a lot of work currently going on to spruce the place up. For what we paid could not complain at all, the staff are excellent, pleasent, polite and nothing to much trouble for them. The breakfast was very good with help yourself cereals, fruit, etc and choice of cooked breakfasts, good quality sausages and bacon unlike more expensive places I have stayed. Location of hotel in Torquay very good as near the front and centre. Overall very pleased for what we paid, if you want better you need to pay more. Well done to the staff at the hotel, they are the real stars.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful holiday. A day of the year set aside to count our blessings. When I think of Thanksgiving my mind goes to pictures I had seen when I was a child of the Horn of Plenty and a feeling of abundance.
When I purchased the faux flowers I thought I had gone overboard and bought far too many but when all was said and done, I used them ALL! To start I placed a table runner on my table to anchor everything. Mine was a paisley fabric round tablecloth I found on clearance at Walmart. I simply folded the tablecloth to a runner configuration. I plan on cutting off the excess and making napkins with it but that's another post 😉 Next, I added salvaged pieces of pallet wood to the center of the table and placed my centerpiece on top of it.
Now, in days gone by I would have stopped there but not this time. I added some plastic antlers (Halloween department at Walmart – $3.18!). Next, I added small pumpkins and decorative gourds around the base of the centerpiece.
I placed my kitchen Rosemary plant to the left of the centerpiece along with a pomegranate. Behind that I placed a wooden bowl of fresh pears…and continued…
I placed a faux hydrangea into a small metal urn and placed that next to one of my placesettings. The placesettings are all Pioneer Woman dishes and silverware (from Walmart). I added some plaid napkins (clearance item from Target)….
I placed a few of the sprays of leaves left from my centerpiece into my gilded honeycomb pitcher and placed a mercury glass mason jar with a candle in it next to that.
Asymmetry did NOT rule here…I pulled and decorated from items I had around my house and just kept adding to create a one-of-a-kind, lush and inviting setting. I hope you enjoyed my first venture into creating a tablescape. Be sure to check out the other beautiful tablescapes and centerpieces created for Thanksgiving by my friends below:

As of Thursday, external email and Internet service was still not back online at the lab, though employees were once again allowed use of their smartphones, Barbara Penland, a lab spokeswoman, said in an interview. She said the lab expects to restore Internet service and access to external email sometime next week.
The lab--which houses some of the world's most powerful supercomputers and stores classified government data--was hit with a phishing attack on April 7 that was designed specifically to remove information from the network.
"We ended up with an excess of 570 of those emails coming in to different people and we had some folks who clicked on the email," she said. "One or two of them managed to get through into the system."
The lab's IT team tracked and observed the virus for about a week before deciding that shutting down access to the Internet and external email last Friday was the best way to stop it, Penland said.
"This one cleaned up behind itself and it stayed hidden to a large degree and actually wasn't very active until just before we shut the door," she said, adding that it was a virus security researchers are familiar with.
Less than a gigabyte of data was removed from the lab's business and email networks as a result of the attack, which Penland stressed did not touch any of the Lab's classified networks. Those are not connected to the public Internet, "for obvious reasons," she said.
A "tiger team" of external security researchers and members of the lab's internal IT team continue to investigate the virus and clean any devices or PCs that were affected by it, Penland added.
The ORNL is run by the University of Texas' Battelle campus for the Department of Energy and is home to three supercomputers operated by federal agencies. In addition to one the Department of Energy oversees, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Science Foundation also run supercomputers there.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Thomas Newson feat. Angelika Vee - Don't Hold Us (Remixes)ZOUK218 - May 19th, 2014
The track that keeps on giving, there seems to be no limit to the destruction 'Don't Hold Us' can deliver. With the original storming the charts and gracing the radio worldwide, it was time for a few equally impressive remixes.
Taking things in polar opposite directions, we have the Bixel Boys and the Blinders remixes. Bixel Boys created a version that is jazzy and deep, but with plenty of big-room bite. Blinders did what he does so well, masterminding a sublime club version.
The pivotal point of it all remains Angelika Vee's divine vocal performance.

Engineered Microbial Consortium for the Efficient Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels
Date: August 2014
Creator: Anieto, Ugochukwu Obiakornobi
Description: Current energy and environmental challenges are driving the use of cellulosic materials for biofuel production. A major obstacle in this pursuit is poor ethanol tolerance among cellulolytic Clostridium species. The first objective of this work was to establish a potential upper boundary of ethanol tolerance for the cellulosome itself. The hydrolytic function of crude cellulosome extracts from C. cellulolyticum on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% (v/v) ethanol was determined. Results indicated that the endoglucanase activity of the cellulosome incubated in 5% and 10% ethanol was significantly different from a control without ethanol addition. Furthermore a significant difference was observed in endoglucanase activity for cellulosome incubated in 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% ethanol in a standalone experiment. Endoglucanase activity continued to be observed for up to 25% ethanol, indicating that cellulosome function in ethanol will not be an impediment to future efforts towards engineering increasing production titers to levels at least as high as the current physiological limits of the most tolerant ethanologenic microbes. The second objective of this work was to study bioethanol production by a microbial co-culture involving Clostridium cellulolyticum and a recombinant Zymomonas mobilis engineered for the utilization of oligodextrans.

Environmental Modulation of the Onset of Air-breathing of the Siamese Fighting Fish and the Blue Gourami
Date: December 2015
Creator: Mendez Sanchez, Jose Fernando
Description: This study determined the effect of hypoxia on air-breathing onset and physiological and morphological characters in larvae of the air breathing fishes Trichopodus trichopterus and Betta splendens. Larvae were exposed intermittently (12/12 h daily) to 20, 17, and 14 kPa of PO2 from 1 to 40 days post-fertilization. Survival, onset of air breathing, wet body mass, O2, Pcrit were measured every 5 dpf. Hypoxia advanced by 4 days, and delayed by 9 days, the onset of air breathing in Betta and Trichopodus, respectively. Hypoxia increased larval body length, wet mass, and labyrinth organ respiratory surface of Betta, but did not affect these factors in Trichopodus. Hypoxic exposure increased O2 by 50-100% at each day throughout larval development in Betta, but had no effect on larval Trichopodus. Hypoxia decreased Pcrit in Betta by 37%, but increased Pcrit in Trichopodus by 70%. Larval Betta reared in hypoxia showed a modified heart rate:opercular rate ratio (3:1 to 2:1), but these changes did not occur in Trichopodus. Compared to Betta, the blood of Trichopodus had a higher P50 and much smaller Bohr and Root effects. These interspecific differences are likely due to ecophysiological differences: Betta is a non- obligatory air-breather after 36 dpf with ...

Evaluating the Habitat Requirements of the Golden Orb Mussel (Quadrula Aurea) for Conservation Purposes
Date: May 2013
Creator: Hammontree, Sarah
Description: Many freshwater mussels are imperiled, due to a number of interrelated factors such as habitat alteration, degradation of water quality, and impoundments. The Golden Orb mussel (Quadrula aurea, I. Lea, 1859) is endemic to the state of Texas and is currently a candidate for the endangered species list, as the number of known populations has been declining in recent years. Little is currently known about Q. aurea aside from basic distribution data. This study is focused on evaluating a combination of macro-habitat and micro-habitat variables to determine their influence on the distribution and density of this species. Macro-habitat variables, including dominant land cover, surface geology, and soil erodibility factor, did not have a significant relationship with mussel distributions. The best model of micro-habitat variables that impacts the Q. aurea distributions is comprised of relative substrate stability (RSS) at moderate flows and current velocity at low flows. For all mussel species in this study, current velocity at low flows is the primary variable that influences distribution. Q. aurea are associated with habitats where larger sediment particles (large gravel and cobble) help to stabilize the substrate in areas with higher current velocities. An understanding of the preferred habitats for Q. aurea can ...

Evaluation of the Developmental Effects and Bioaccumulation Potential of Triclosan and Triclocarban Using the South African Clawed Frog, Xenopus Laevis
Date: December 2010
Creator: King, Marie Kumsher
Description: Triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC) are antimicrobials found in U.S. surface waters. This dissertation assessed the effects of TCS and TCC on early development and investigated their potential to bioaccumulate using Xenopus laevis as a model. The effects of TCS on metamorphosis were also investigated. For 0-week tadpoles, LC50 values for TCS and TCC were 0.87 mg/L and 4.22 mg/L, respectively, and both compounds caused a significant stunting of growth. For 4-week tadpoles, the LC50 values for TCS and TCC were 0.22 mg/L and 0.066 mg/L; and for 8-week tadpoles, the LC50 values were 0.46 mg/L and 0.13 mg/L. Both compounds accumulated in Xenopus. For TCS, wet weight bioaccumulation factors (BAFs) for 0-, 4- and 8-week old tadpoles were 23.6x, 1350x and 143x, respectively. Lipid weight BAFs were 83.5x, 19792x and 8548x. For TCC, wet weight BAFs for 0-, 4- and 8-week old tadpoles were 23.4x, 1156x and 1310x. Lipid weight BAFs were 101x, 8639x and 20942x. For the time-to-metamorphosis study, TCS showed an increase in weight and snout-vent length in all treatments. Exposed tadpoles metamorphosed approximately 10 days sooner than control tadpoles. For the hind limb study, although there was no difference in weight, snout-vent length, or hind limb ...

Evidence for Multiple Functions of a Medicago Truncatula Transporter
Date: December 2014
Creator: Huang, Ying-Sheng
Description: Legumes play an important role in agriculture as major food sources for humans and as feed for animals. Bioavailable nitrogen is a limiting nutrient for crop growth. Legumes are important because they can form a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria called rhizobia that results in nitrogen-fixing root nodules. In this symbiosis, rhizobia provide nitrogen to the legumes and the legumes provide carbon sources to the rhizobia. The Medicago truncatula NPF1.7/NIP/LATD gene is essential for root nodule development and also for proper development of root architecture. Work in our lab on the MtNPF1.7/MtNIP/LATD gene has established that it encodes a nitrate transporter and strongly suggests it has another function. Mtnip-1/latd mutants have pleiotropic defects, which are only partially explained by defects in nitrate transport. MtNPF1.7/NIP/LATD is a member of the large and diverse NPF/NRT1(PTR) transporter family. NPF/NRT1(PTR) members have been shown to transport other compounds in addition to nitrate: nitrite, amino acids, di- and tri-peptides, dicarboxylates, auxin, abscisic acid and glucosinolates. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the AtNPF6.3/NRT1.1( CHL1) transporter was shown to transport auxin as well as nitrate. Atchl1 mutants have defects in root architecture, which may be explained by defects in auxin transport and/or nitrate sensing. Considering the pleiotropic phenotypes observed ...

Examination of the Relationship Between Glucuronic Acid and Vascular Damage in Rats
Date: May 2013
Creator: Moore, Ryan
Description: The goal of this experiment was to examine the role of glucuronic acid in the development of vascular damage in the kidneys and retinas of diabetic individuals. Glucuronic acid was provided to rats in their water at various concentrations in order to increase plasma levels of the compound. Kidneys and retinas were excised and compared to control specimens using microscopy to determine the effect of elevated blood glucuronic acid levels on the occurrence of microaneurysms in renal capillary networks. No differences were seen between the treatment and control groups. Further study needs to be conducted to determine a more suitable time frame for this experiment.

Exploring the Evolutionary History of North American Prairie Grouse (Genus: Tympanuchus) Using Multi-locus Coalescent Analyses
Date: May 2013
Creator: Galla, Stephanie J.
Description: Conservation biologists are increasingly using phylogenetics as a tool to understand evolutionary relationships and taxonomic classification. The taxonomy of North American prairie grouse (sharp-tailed grouse, T. phasianellus; lesser prairie-chicken, T. pallidicinctus; greater prairie-chicken, T. cupido; including multiple subspecies) has been designated based on physical characteristics, geography, and behavior. However, previous studies have been inconclusive in determining the evolutionary history of prairie grouse based on genetic data. Therefore, additional research investigating the evolutionary history of prairie grouse is warranted. In this study, ten loci (including mitochondrial, autosomal, and Z-linked markers) were sequenced across multiple populations of prairie grouse, and both traditional and coalescent-based phylogenetic analyses were used to address the evolutionary history of this genus. Results from this study indicate that North American prairie grouse diverged in the last 200,000 years, with species-level taxa forming well-supported monophyletic clades in species tree analyses. With these results, managers of the critically endangered Attwater's prairie-chicken (T. c. attwateri) can better evaluate whether outcrossing Attwater's with greater prairie-chickens would be a viable management tool for Attwater's conservation.

Expression of G-protein Coupled Receptors in Young and Mature Thrombocytes and Knockdown of Gpr18 in Zebrafish
Date: May 2013
Creator: Potbhare, Vrinda Nikhil
Description: In this study, a novel method based on biotinylated antibodies and streptavidin coated magnetic beads was used to separate the thrombocyte subpopulations from zebrafish whole blood. DiI-C18, a lipophilic dye, labels only young thrombocytes when used at low concentrations. Commercially available biotinylated anti-Cy3 antibody was used to label the chromophore of DiI-C18 on the young thrombocytes and streptavidin coated magnetic beads were added subsequently, to separate young thrombocytes. The remaining blood cells were probed with custom-made biotinylated anti-GPIIb antibody and streptavidin magnetic beads to separate them from other cells. Further, thrombocytes are equivalents of mammalian platelets. Platelets play a crucial role in thrombus formation. The G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) present on the platelet surface are involved during platelet activation and aggregation processes. So, thrombocytes were studied for the presence of GPCRs. The GPCR mRNA transcripts expressed in the young and mature thrombocytes were subjected to densitometry analysis and pixel intensities of the bands were compared using one way ANOVA. This analysis did not show significant differences between the young and mature GPCR mRNA transcripts but identified a novel GPCR, GPR18 that was not reported in platelets earlier. To study the function of this GPCR, it was knocked down using GPR18 ...

Field and Laboratory Fish Tissue Accumulation of Carbamazepine and Amiodarone
Date: December 2013
Creator: García Martínez, Santos Noé
Description: The goals of this dissertation work were to assess the bioaccumulation potential of carbamazepine and amiodarone, two widely used ionizable pharmaceutical compounds that possess mid-range and high LogD values, respectively, and to evaluate alternative methods to assess chemical accumulation in bluntnose minnows, catfish, and tilapia. Results indicated that carbamazepine does not appreciably bioaccumulate in fish tissue with BCFk and BAF carbamazepine values < 10. Amiodarone, however, with a log D of 5.87 at pH 7.4, accumulated in fish tissues with kinetic BCF values <2,400. Collectively, the data suggest that full and abbreviated laboratory-derived BCFs, BCFMs derived from S9 loss-of-parent assays, as well as field BAF values are similar for each of the two drugs. In summary, the results from this dissertation indicated: 1) The reduced design BCF test is a good estimate for the traditional OECD 305 test. 2) In vitro S9 metabolism assays provide comparable BCF estimates to the OECD 305 test. 3) Metabolism may play a large role in the accumulation of drugs in fish. 4) Reduced BCF tests and in vitro assays are cost effective and can reduce vertebrate testing.

Functional Characterization of Mtnip/latd's Biochemical and Biological Function
Date: December 2013
Creator: Bagchi, Rammyani
Description: Symbiotic nitrogen fixation occurs in plants harboring nitrogen-fixing bacteria within the plant tissue. The most widely studied association is between the legumes and rhizobia. In this relationship the plant (legumes) provides the bacteria (rhizobia) with reduced carbon derived from photosynthesis in exchange for reduced atmospheric nitrogen. This allows the plant to survive in soil, which is low in available of nitrogen. Rhizobia infect and enter plant root and reside in organs known as nodules. In the nodules the bacteria fix atmospheric nitrogen. The association between the legume, Medicago truncatula and the bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti, has been studied in detail. Medicago mutants that have defects in nodulation help us understand the process of nitrogen fixation better. One such mutant is the Mtnip-1. Mtnip-1 plants respond to S. meliloti by producing abnormal nodules in which numerous aberrant infection threads are produced, with very rare rhizobial release into host plant cells. The mutant plant Mtnip-1 has an abnormal defense-like response in root nodules as well as defects in lateral root development. Three alleles of the Mtnip/latd mutants, Mtnip-1, Mtlatd and Mtnip-3 show different degrees of severity in their phenotype. Phylogenetic analysis showed that MtNIP/LATD encodes a protein belonging to the NRT1(PTR) family of ...

The 2011 Tablas Creek Vineyard Picpoul Blanc (also known as Piquepoul or Piquepoul Blanc in France) is Tablas Creek's fifth bottling of this traditional Southern Rhône varietal, used in Châteauneuf du Pape as a blending component, and best known from the crisp light green wines of the Pinet Region in the Coteaux de Languedoc. Literally translating to "lip stinger", in France the grape is known for its bright acidity, its minerality, and a clean lemony flavor. We have found that in California, it maintains its bright acidity, but also develops an appealing tropical lushness.
Picpoul Blanc was the first supplementary varietal we brought into the country after the initial eight varietals. It went into quarantine in 1996, and was released in 1998. The first vines went into the ground in 2000. We are so excited about the varietal that in the winter of 2005-2006 we tripled our planted acreage (from 1 to 3 acres).
Our Picpoul grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2011 vintage was our second consecutive winter with healthy rainfall, but yields were dramatically reduced by two nights of frost on April 8th and 9th. Despite the low crop loads, ripening was slow due to a very cool summer, and harvest roughly three weeks later than normal, beginning in mid-September and not concluding until mid-November. Warm, sunny weather during harvest allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and low yields combined to produce fruit with notable richness balanced by higher than usual acidity, all at low alcohol levels. Our Picpoul was harvested on October 19th and 27th.
The Picpoul grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel to maintain its freshness. It completed malolactic fermentation in tank, and was bottled in May 2012.
The 2011 Picpoul Blanc shows expressive aromas of pineapple, white flowers, grilled citrus and caramel. In the mouth it is brightly acidic with flavors of pina colada broadened by a hint of toast, a lush texture surprising for those who only know Picpoul from France, then reverting to brightness on a lemony, mineral-laced finish.

Being in the wine business means being in the business of giving pleasure. We want our wines to taste good and to improve the moments in which they are served. In order for us to do this, we frequently depend on the shared experience of good food. The way that wine and food speak to each other is critically important to the appreciation of both. Think of musical instruments either in tune or not. Read More »

Ion beam analysis
Ion beam analysis ("IBA") is an important family of modern analytical techniques involving the use of MeV ion beams to probe the composition and obtain elemental depth profiles in the near-surface layer of solids. All IBA methods are highly sensitive and allow the detection of elements in the sub-monolayer range. The depth resolution is typically in the range of a few nanometers to a few ten nanometers. Atomic depth resolution can be achieved, but requires special equipment. The analyzed depth ranges from a few ten nanometers to a few ten micrometers. IBA methods are always quantitative with an accuracy of a few percent. Channeling allows to determine the depth profile of damage in single crystals.
- RBS: Rutherford backscattering is sensitive to heavy elements in a light matrix
- EBS: Elastic (non-Rutherford) backscattering spectrometry can be sensitive even to light elements in a heavy matrix. The term EBS is used when the incident particle is going so fast that it exceeds the "Coulomb barrier" of the target nucleus, which therefore cannot be treated by Rutherford's approximation of a point charge. In this case Schrödinger's equation should be solved to obtain the scattering cross-section (see http://www-nds.iaea.org/sigmacalc/).
- ERD: Elastic recoil detection is sensitive to light elements in a heavy matrix
- PIXE: Particle induced X-ray emission gives the trace and minor elemental composition
- NRA: Nuclear reaction analysis is sensitive to particular isotopes
- Channelling: The fast ion beam can be aligned accurately with major axes of single crystals; then the strings of atoms "shadow" each other and the backscattering yield falls dramatically. Any atoms off their lattice sites will give visible extra scattering. Thus damage to the crystal is visible, and point defects (interstitials) can even be distinguished from dislocations.
The quantitative evaluation of IBA methods requires the use of specialized simulation and data analysis software. SIMNRA and DataFurnace are popular programs for the analysis of RBS, ERD and NRA, while GUPIX is popular for PIXE.
IBA is an area of active research. The last major Nuclear Microbeam conference in Debrecen (Hungary) was published in NIMB 267(12-13).

reading his book, "The Greening of IT." This book provides a welcome relief from the
many books that center around virtualization as the panacea for energy utilization. While
"The Greening of IT" does have virtualization as one of the steps required for lowering
energy utilization, it takes an engineering approach. He says, "This book provides details
on the importance of implementing green IT....and especially the case studies for
`lessons learned' and the best practice approaches for implementing green IT."
Dr. Lamb provides a global view of Green IT. This is appreciated as he puts
Green IT in a world-wide perspective, detailing why we need to save energy. The global
view of Green IT continues by placing it squarely in the roadmap for "reducing
greenhouse gases which, in turn, can help reduce global warming," a goal for both the
United Nations (UN) as well as the White House.
Throughout the book are sprinkled engineering explanations such as the
difference between volts, watt, amps, KWHs and voltage levels. As another example, Dr.
Lamb's explanation of "Data Center Cooling Basics" clarifies HVAC systems, the
cooling equipment, and new technology (such as stored cooling, thermal storage systems,
and phase change materials.
Dr. Lamb uses IBM's 5-step program for datacenter efficiency: diagnose,
manage and measure, use energy-efficient cooling, virtualize, and build new or upgrade
facilities when feasible.
Then there are two sections which I have not found in other books: (1) tuning
your applications to require less CPU and (2) Greening your laptop. Tuning applications
often does not happen as we virtualize applications and consolidate them rather than
looking inside the application to use less CPU. Many applications can be tuned to use
25% less hardware then today, however, requires time as the original application
developer is usually not still employed by the corporation. Greening our laptops is a
good idea as well and is a great step to helping use less energy. Dr. Lamb gives the
instructions in his book for Power Management Features and provides the option of
utilizing a thin client PC for corporations as well. (Maybe PROFS will come back, the
original thin client application by IBM, known either as Professional Office System or
PF Keys Rigidly On Freakish Settings).
Dr. Lamb's section on collaboration is interesting as it discusses the need for IT
vendors to "integrat(e) their hardware, software, and services" to help customers improve
their energy initiatives. Further, there is a good overview of IBM's energy monitoring
programs as well. The part where Dr. Lamb allows himself to go back to more
engineering-related topics where is really interesting. The chapter on "The Magic of
`Incentive' -- The Role of Electric Utilities" and "PG&E Lead Utility Energy Efficiency
Coalition" of the impact of energy companies on the Greening of IT and available
incentive programs. This type of explanation, looking outside the typical datacenter and
to the energy companies, was new to me.
The section on virtualization is made more interesting by the SPEC metrics for
virtual servers. Note that older frame's utilization is not tied to their power consumption.
Newer, greener frames use more power as the utilization rises. What is not covered here,
however, is the re-platforming of servers from, for example, a system p environment to a
system z environment. IBM Enterprise Computing Model (ECM) has re-platformed
hundreds of pSeries LPARs into a z/Linux box and reduced all costs as well as lowered
energy utilization. Maybe Dr. Lamb will put that in his next book.
In all, the 5-step approach for an "Energy Efficient Data Center" - Diagnose,
Build, Virtualize, Manage and Measure, and Cool - provides corporations a look at their
datacenter energy costs and find ways to improve their energy utilization and their
virtualization penetration. The emphasis on measurement throughout the book is very
important as Dr. Lamb provides methodologies for baselining (what to baseline) as well
as energy-measurement tools. The book ends with appendices and checklists to actually
do this work. This is not a theoretical book for anyone dealing with high energy costs, it
is a must-read to put a team in place to Go Green!
It was easy to compare the thinking of current IT infrastructure to where IT infrastructure needs to go as there were plenty of tables or web links to illustrate the efficiencies gained using a greener approach. The main drawback to using external links is that they may not be available by the time the book is published. A website with updates would be a good idea - the free online edition is only a 45 day trial.
Some of the newer technologies made it into the book, but I did not see some of the others - for example Flywheel UPS (although flywheels have been around a long time). Fuel Cell backup power did rate a mention as an emerging technology.
Some more discussion on Computer Room efficiencies and the maximum limits of under floor cooling to handle the newer high density racks based on air flow limits would have been a good addition. This is certainly not a negative because there is only so much that you can cover in a general book.
A few illustrations were a little too small or did not have enough contrast for easy viewing in a black and white publication (example Fig. 11.3, and 11.4 which is a thermal camera image and better suited to color), but did not detract from the material being presented. I am assuming the choice of black and white was driven by the desire for a Kindle version, as well as the extra printing costs needed for color.
As mentioned a lot of external links to extra information were provided, and overall a great snapshot of the current thinking related to the Greening of IT. Naturally with the author being an IBM person there was good coverage of IBM technologies - but there was more than enough coverage of non-IBM solutions so this was not a problem. I recommend this book for both the technical and non-technical reader as the material worked at both levels.
I am an IT Professional working on a large project in South Africa, where energy is the major expense. This book elaborate on how companies can implement Green IT. Save Money and Save the Planet !!!
I like the structure of the book and Dr. Lamb's presentation style. He uses a clear, concise and simple language to introduce the key topics in Green IT. Very aptly, the book starts with the need for Green IT and the basic elements of Green IT. Importance of `green data centers' is also explained. Being from the prior background of measurements and metrics in quality assurance, I most enjoyed reading the chapter on `energy use metrics' (Chapter 7). Energy efficiency rating explained is Chapter 5, makes interesting reading. The repertoire of rich cases studies provide on the various implementation aspects of Green IT is the crowning glory of the book (Chapter 9, Chapter 10 and Chapter 11). Dr. Lamb has brought for the significance of `cloud computing' in view of `Green' in Appendix B - as a Green IT researcher I find that most useful for my work. All the appendices of the book contain extremely useful information. For example - Energy engineers would appreciate Appendix C in which various methods of power generation are presented. IT professionals would read with great interest Appendix D where projection on worldwide costs for IT is presented. The Green IT checklist in Appendix A of the book is a useful tool for auditors. Electricity usage in global data centers is also explained in the same appendix. The book is published by IBM press and it is a well known that IBM is a leader in green IT space; for those are interested in comparisons with other IT giants would read with keen interest Green computing information about HP and Sun.
All in all, this is a `must have' reading material for those working in the Green IT space. I'd highly recommend this book by Dr. Lamb, to all speakers, writers as well researchers in the domain.

Used Car Prices Set to Fall
- Hits: 4046
A surge in off-lease vehicles will drive down used-car prices in 2013.
Edmunds.com projects that there will be as many as 500,000 more car buyers coming off leases in 2013 than in 2012. That's 500,000 more potential new car customers to buttress the remaining pent-up demand.
Those lease terminations should have a ripple effect on the auto industry -especially on used cars. Off-lease vehicles and more trade-ins will flood the used car market and help to bring down prices. Edmunds.com expects the average used car price to fall $200-$300 per vehicle in 2013, which will continue the price drop we saw this year after used car prices peaked in 2011.
New-car sales will grow in 2013, but that growth will slow to a single-digit pace, says Edmunds.com, the premier resource for car shopping and automotive information. Edmunds.com projects 15 million new car sales in 2013, a four percent increase over 2012. And while next year's sales won't have as much momentum as recent post-recession years, there is still plenty of optimism in the auto industry.
