Swan/Chittering Valley
We are proud of the diverse Shires with the lovely Chittering and Swan Valley and all our other beautiful scenery with it's magnificent wildflowers and friendly people.
The Swan Valley is Western Australia's oldest wine region and has earned its reputation as Perth's Valley of Taste. Situated just 25 mintes from the city, the Valley seduces visitors with a rich fusion of wine, food, art, scenery and nature. You can experience its many wonders along the award-winning Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail - a 32 kilometre loop taking in more than 150 attractions including wineries, lively breweries, fine restaurants, bustling cafes, distilleries, shops, accommodation and roadside stalls selling fresh local produce. The Swan Valley in Western Australia is a world of surprises just minutes away from Perth's doorstep.
Today Guildford is one of only two towns in Perth on the National Trust register and many fine colonial buildings from the township's earliest days continue to grace the streets.
You can learn much about this fascinating history by setting out on one of the self-guided heritage walk trails which meander through the streets . The walk trails start from the Swan Valley Visitor Centre. Here you can view Guildford's original courthouse (c. 1866) and interpretive displays that explain much about the region's past.
Unique Market
Be sure to visit the James Street antique strip, which offers one of the largest ranges of secondhand wares outside Perth. There's also quaint home décor outlets, specialty gift shops, galleries and clothing stores.
To discover a real treasure, visit the Guildford Heritage Art Markets, held on the third Sunday of the month. Here you can buy handmade goods and fresh homemade foods in a market typified by its country-style charm.
Eating out
With several dining experiences to choose from, why not soak up the village atmosphere and visit one of the restaurants, pubs and cafés. Ranging from quaint tea rooms and historic pubs to venues that offer tapas, Thai, Italian and modern Australian fare.
Chittering Valley
The myriad of orchards, farms and vineyards that dot the hillsides of the Chittering Valley ensure that this part of Western Australia is well worth a visit.
The 76 kilometre Chittering Valley Wine Trail winds from Chittering through to Gingin and passed a number of public sculptures: the Bull, Willy Wagtails, the Nest and the Travelling Monk. Each sculpture depicts a story that relates to the area. Historical sites of interest in the area include the Old Well at Muchea, the Chittering Museum and the Holy Trinity Church in Chittering.
There are seven wineries to visit and numerous places along the way that sell fresh local produce from the farm gate.
The grapes of the region include grenache, viognier, chenin blanc, chardonnay, verdelho and shiraz.
Highlights of the area include:-
The Golden Grove Observatory in Chittering - the observatory is situated in an orange orchard and is one of the best and most accessible commercial observatories in Perth.
STRINGYBARK Winery, Restaurant and Function Centre in Chittering, WA was established in 1985 and was named as a result of its original owner's connection with STRINGYBARK CREEK in North Eastern Victoria.
In much earlier times, the legend of Australian bushranger Ned Kelly became folklore following the shootout with Sgt. Kennedy and Constables Scanlon and Lonigan at STRINGYBARK CREEK.
The location is truly special and particularly comes alive during spring with magnificent wildflower displays…..and all only 20 minutes from Roo's Retreat.
Bullsbrook is a suburb of Perth, Western Australia in the outer metropolitan area. It is located with the City of Swan. The original Bullsbrook townsite is located slightly west of the current town, on the 17 km mark of the Midland Railway. Bullsbrook is also the home to the RAAF Pearce airbase, a major training facility for the Royal Australian Air Force.
Home of the Maze which offers fun activities, a parkland area and the chance to picnic with koalas, kangaroos and emus - if you don't get lost amongst the many mazes!
RAAF Pearce - which held a very successful Royal Air Show in May 2012.
Redroof Steakhouse
The rustic restaurant is a great dining venue all year round offering a welcoming open log fire in winter through to air conditioned comfort during the summer. It also provides a free shuttle service from Roo's Retreat to the steakhouse and return, for up to 10 people, must be pre-booked.

Conventional wisdom regarding most franchises is that the sequels are never quite as good as the original. With rare exceptions, each installment is sort of like a recording of a recording from the analog days – diminishing with each iteration. After seeing Captain America: The Winter Soldier over the weekend, though, I couldn't help thinking that the geekier side of Hollywood might be the exception to the rule when it comes to sequels.
Even though my feelings about 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger don't align with many of my peers who consider it the best of Marvel's solo superhero debuts (I enjoyed both Iron Man and Thor more than The First Avenger), I'm the first to admit that even the most mediocre of Marvel's cinematic adventures is better than just about every other comic book movie made in the last decade. And that's why it came as a surprise that The Winter Soldier was so much better than its predecessor.
Where The First Avenger had left me wanting more, The Winter Soldier delivered – and rather than fast-forward through the most interesting elements (i.e., the Howling Commandos), the sequel generously spent time exploring Captain America's relationship with his teammates and the way they work as a team, with him as their leader. After all, if Captain America did have a superpower, it would be the ability to inspire the people around him and make the job look simple as long as everyone is working toward a common goal. The Winter Soldier also gave us an antagonist that was more fully realized, threatening and nuanced than most of the Marvel movie-verse villains so far (with the exception of Tom Hiddleston's Loki, of course).
Basically, I liked The First Avenger well enough, but I genuinely loved its sequel.
But the more I think about it, the more it dawns on me that I shouldn't be surprised by this. After all, geek-friendly movie franchises have a long history of getting better the second time around.
Both X-Men 2 and Spider-Man 2 are widely regarded as the most rewarding installments of their respective universes, and there's a strong case for ranking The Dark Knight as the best chapter of Christopher Nolan's revered Batman trilogy. Turning back the clock, it's not too difficult to justify placing Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back (the second film released but fifth in continuity) atop their respective franchises.
Toss in some lower tier franchises that produced second-chapter upgrades like Blade II and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and it begins to look like the sequel curse has skipped over geeky movies entirely.
Of course, we all know that's not the case. While the jury is still out on recent sequels like Star Trek Into Darkness and Thor: The Dark World, you'd have a tough time making a case for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen or (to a lesser degree) Iron Man 2 as improvements on their predecessors. And let's face it: no one can or should have a definitive answer regarding the "best" of the first two Alien films. They're both equally fantastic. However, unlike in other genres, the wins seem to far outweigh the losses when it comes to the second film in geek-friendly franchises.
So, why have comic book and science fiction films managed to avoid the pitfall that so many other film series fall into? Well, part of it could come down one of the most fundamental elements of these particular kinds of adventures: the origin story.
Whether we're talking about Spider-Man or the Star Wars series, they're all superhero stories at heart. They're tales of people who tap into something greater than themselves – whether superhuman or otherwise – to fight evil in various forms, and they all have origin stories. And whether those origins are lifted from a book or simply inspired by the superheroes and stories that came before, they need to be told in order for audiences to understand and hopefully connect with the heroes on the screen.
And therein lies the issue with some franchises, especially those with well-worn origins. The story of the hero's evolution has to be told even if 90 percent of the audience already knows it (or the basic elements of it) by heart – because that's how all heroes' stories begin, after all.
Once that origin story is told, though, all bets are off.
Freed from the constraints of all that early hero building, the adventure can really take off in the second act – which may be the most obvious reason for geeky movies' success with sequels. Instead of being a Spider-Man in training, Peter Parker can finally be Spider-Man, and instead of watching Steve Rogers earn his "Captain America" nickname, we can watch him be Captain America. More often than not, the real fun happens once the hero is, well… a hero.
There's also a little more freedom on the other side of the camera once that initial, origin-story movie is in the rearview mirror, too. What worked and what didn't in the first installment is well documented at that point, and both the filmmakers and studio can work with that feedback – whether that means a subtle shift in tone or a character's arc, more freedom for the director to bring his vision to the film, or a wholesale change in creative team. And while that's true for any franchise, the wealth of archived material – whether comic book stories, television episodes or prior films – uniquely present in geek-friendly fare would seem to offer yet another layer of data to deliver something special to fans.
In many ways, the second film in geeky franchises is the best measure for the series' success. Absent the time-consuming but necessary origin story and the heavier studio and sponsor influence that tends to show up in later films (usually taking the form of product placement and licensing opportunities), the second film is the most "free" to explore the characters and their stories. Absent the need to explain where its hero came from or where he/she will end up, the film just needs to tell a good story.
And fortunately, that's something that Hollywood seems to have a knack for when it comes to the geekier side of cinema.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Vestibular Neuritis
Vestibular neuritis is an inflammation of the vestibular nerve, which is in your inner ear. This nerve carries balance signals from the inner ear to the brain. When the nerve is inflamed, it causes vertigo. Vertigo makes you feel as if you or your surroundings are moving even though there is no actual movement. Vestibular neuritis usually occurs in only one ear at a time.

Bardsley sustained the problem early in pre-season and is set to be absent for "a number of weeks".
Boss Martin O'Neill revealed his defender had already gone under the knife but was able to deliver better news on injured trio Stephane Sessegnon, Wes Brown and David Vaughan.
"Phil Bardsley has had an operation," O'Neill said. "That's a real blow for us.
"Stephane has done a little bit of training and hasn't felt any effects. He hasn't been able to do that much but in the course of the next few weeks in terms of the sort of fitness level that he can attain we hope he gets there pretty quickly."
O'Neill added: "Wes Brown is feeling a bit better but obviously getting a bit annoyed that injuries have plagued him. David Vaughan's making progress and he had an operation on his side to cure a problem and he's making good progress out there on the training field but hasn't joined in with us yet."

According to the NFPA, gas and charcoal grills caused an average of 3,400 structure fires and 4,900 outdoor fires in or on home properties in 2005, resulting in a combined direct property loss of $137 million. To make sure your next barbecue doesn't go up in flames, the Home Safety Council recommends the following safety tips:
• Designate the grilling area a "No Play Zone," keeping kids and pets well away until grill equipment is completely cool.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an estimated 9,700 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms for injuries associated with fireworks. More than half the injuries were burns and most involved the hands, eyes and head and 50 percent of the victims were children under age 15.
FRANKFORT – Calling state authority and autonomy critical components of education improvement, Gov. Steve Beshear and Education Commissioner Terry Holliday Monday called on the U.S. Department of Education for flexibility in public school accountability under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Beshear sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan asking to replace the public school accountability portions of the federal law with Kentucky's own model. Kentucky is the first state to request the change.
Man arrested on sex-related charges
Carrollton Police arrested a Carrollton man on charges of incest, sodomy and sexual abuse.
CARROLLTON, Ky. – Jim Cooper, a veteran of the restaurant business, has been selected as the new manager at General Butler State Resort Park, the Department of Parks announced recently.
Cooper is an Air Force veteran and licensed commercial pilot who was born and raised in Georgia. He earned a degree in aviation management from Southern Illinois University. Cooper spent more than 20 years with Waffle House as a manager and later as an owner and operator of four Waffle House restaurants in Frankfort, Versailles and Shelbyville.
View obstructed at Schuermann stop sign
Mayor Gene McMurry and Carrollton City Council discussed possible solutions to the obstructed view at the Schuermann Street stop sign Monday night.
Teen Councilwoman Danielle Wheeler said in the June 13 meeting that several people had brought the visibility issue to her attention, a particular problem for those driving on 11th Street toward Locke Road.
Employees and subcontractors for project contractor Walsh Construction Co. are in the process of rehabilitating the existing piers of the Milton-Madison bridge.
Walsh project manager Charlie Gannon and Aaron Stover, an engineer with Michael Baker Jr., Inc, conducted a tour for members of the media last week during which they explained the scope of work underway to replace the aging structure with a new span on the existing piers.
"Pier-strengthening is referred to as the concrete jacket around the piers," Gannon said.

Spy Shots: MkVI Golf GTI spotted testing
Not too many surprises lie under the camoflage, the next-generation GTI will be the Angry-Teut-Box version of Volkswagen's forthcoming Golf VI, which we've already seen. The overall milieu is an evolutionary step from our current fifth-generation Golf/Rabbit, though the detail changes to the GTI that KGP snagged add some sporty stylistic touches which will undoubtedly be backed up by hardware. The front end gets honeycomb grilles for every opening and eschews foglamps in favor of brake cooling, with bright red calipers now squeezing away. A dual exhaust setup might have you thinking R32 instead of GTI, but there are rumors floating around that the R32 will be kaput after the current generation. We hope that the MkVI keeps or even expands upon the current GTI's demeanor, which finally returned to some of the original hot-hatch magic after years of bloat. Rumors are that the GTI VI will show up at the Paris Motor Show as a "concept" - nudge,nudge,wink,wink.

The "New York Times" bestselling author and world-renown teacher offers no-nonsense wisdom for teachers of all ages
There's no one teachers trust more to give them classroom advice than Rafe Esquith. After more than thirty years on the job, Esquith still puts in the countless classroom hours familiar to every dedicated educator. But where his "New York Times" bestseller "Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire "was food for a teacher's mind, "Real Talk for Real Teachers" is food for a teacher's soul.
Esquith candidly tackles the three stages of life for the career teacher and offers encouragement to see them through the difficult early years, advice on mid-career classroom building, and novel ideas for longtime educators. With his trademark mix of humor, practicality, and boundless compassion, Esquith proves the perfect companion for teachers who need a quick pick-me-up, a long heart-to-heart, or just a momentary reminder that they re not alone.
About the Author
RAFE ESQUITH is beginning his 17th year at Hobart Elementary School in Los Angeles. He is the product of the LA public schools and a graduate of UCLA. His many honors and awards include the 1992 National Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award, the top teaching honor from the English Speaking Union, an SBD Fellowship from Johns Hopkins University, Parents Magazines top national teaching honor, and Oprah Winfrey's Use Your Life Award. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Barbara Tong.
Praise For…
"[This] enormously valuable book will keep teachers energized."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The only classroom teacher to receive the National Medal of the Arts, the author has taught fifth and sixth grade for more than 25 years at Hobart Elementary, an inner-city Los Angeles school where few of the parents speak English, poverty is rampant, and too often children lack supervision at home… Teaching is a tough job, but Esquith shows that its rewards can be profound." —Kirkus Reviews

that pretty much puts every major EEG / Psg player under their umbrella. Last major corp and competition left is Nihon Kohden. Looks like they ultimately want to squeeze NK out of the business and eliminate the last vestige of any competition. Of course the ultimate goal of CEO is to have all this neatly wrapped and packaged to attract some major player to buy them out and SR. management walks away with a hefty payday.
Well, he's done it before! The goal though is to get a duopoly in EEG and take discounting off the table... two players tend to see things that way. Problem here though is that nothing in their portfolio is exciting, or high-margin, so the rationale is just size. Hawkins hints 500m will do it.
Unfortunately for any buyer Hawkins has taken most of the synergies out of the baby already. The new tax is not at all favorable for low margin businesses either.

I was married for three years, filed within weeks of separation for divorce and have been in court ever since re: child custody.
I have been paying temporary spousal support now for more than two years and extraordinary child support as my wife refuses to work. She is ivy league educated, ex AF pilot and unemployed for 5+ years now.
Recently she went back to school through the VA-- they pay her housing and schooling, yet she does not count this as income on her FL-150.
I want to try and bring this to light and know I need to file a motion-- but don't know if they should be separate or filed as one motion.
Also, not having her actualy income, can I simply attached the website printouts from the VA and hope the judge asks for clarification from her?
Mediation Attorney
You can file both in the same OSC but you should subpoena the records regarding her income first. You will probably need help from an attorney on this one.

Texas Windmill on the Texas Salt Grass Prairie - HWW!!!
WINDMILLS. Before the introduction of windmills to Texas, inhabitable land was confined to areas where a constant water supply was available. There was no way for vast areas to be settled without a life-giving supply of water. The coming of the windmill made it possible to pump water from beneath the ground, and soon whole new areas of the state were opened up to settlers. The first windmills in Texas were of the European style, built by Dutch and German immigrants for grinding meal and powering light industry. What Texans needed most, however, was a windmill that pumped water. Because of its bulk and need for constant attention, the European windmill was impractical for this purpose. The solution to this problem came in 1854, when Daniel Halladay (Hallady or Halliday) built the first American windmill in Ellington, Connecticut. He added to his mill a vane, or "tail," as it was called by Texas cowhands, that functioned to direct the wheel into the wind. The wheel was a circle of wood slats radiating from a horizontal shaft and set at angles to the wind, designed so that centrifugal force would slow it in high winds; thus, the machine was self-regulating and operated unattended. Its simple direct-stroke energy converter consisted of only a shaft and a small fly wheel to which the sucker rod was pinned. This compact mechanism was mounted on a four-legged wood tower that could be constructed over a well in one day. Railroad companies immediately recognized windmills as an inexpensive means of providing water for steam engines and for attracting settlers to semi-arid regions through which they planned to lay track. In 1860 the Houston Tap and Brazoria Railway purchased the right to manufacture and use James Mitchell's "Wind Wheel" on its right-of-way from Houston to Wharton. By 1873 the windmill had become an important supplier of water for railways, small towns where there were no public water systems, and small farms. Many of the very early mills were crude, inefficient, homemade contraptions. One of the popular makeshift mills was a wagon wheel with slats nailed around it to catch the wind, mounted on half an axle. The axle was fastened securely to a post erected beside the well. A sucker rod was pinned to the edge of the hub. It was stationary and worked only when the wind blew in the right direction. The windmills used later on the big ranches were the more dependable factory-made windmills. By 1900 windmills were a common sight in Texas. Inhabitable land was no longer limited to regions with a natural water supply. The windmill made the most remote areas habitable. The last major development in the windmill came in 1915. A housing that needed to be filled with oil only once a year was built around the mill's gears. This relieved the range rider of his biweekly greasing chores and somewhat diminished the windmiller's job. Because of the dependability of this improved windmill, worries over water shortages were eased for the rancher, farmer, and rural dweller. This mill was the prime supplier of water in rural Texas until 1930, when electric and gasoline pumps began to be widely used. Though Texas became the largest user of windmills in the United States, there were never more than three active manufacturers of windmills in Texas at one time. Only two Texas manufacturers, the Axtell Company in Fort Worth and the San Antonio Machine and Supply Company, produced windmills on a large scale. The last water-pumping windmill patented in the United States, however, was invented by a native Texan, W. W. Welborn, in 1951, in the small southwestern town of Carrizo Springs. The King Ranch in the late 1960s kept 262 mills running continuously and 100 complete spares in stock. The XIT Ranch in the Texas Panhandle at one time had 335 functioning windmills. Stocking spare mills is a common practice among ranchers who depend on the windmill to supply water for cattle in remote pastures. Because the windmill has been confined for the most part to remote areas, it has become a symbol of a lonely and primitive life, fitting for the pioneer Texans it first served. Aermotor Windmill has a very interesting 118 year business history. However, one simple truth stands undiminished by time or geography. Aermotor Windmill has continuously manufactured windmills since 1888 and is the only windmill manufacturer in the USA. In 1986 Aermotor was purchased by an investor group and moved to San Angelo, Texas. The name was changed to Aermotor Windmill Corporation.

Four-O'Clock, Marvel of Peru, Mirabilis Jalapa
Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas
Family: Nyctaginaceae
Zones: 7-10 Felder Rushing, coauthor of Passalong Plants, says that four-o-clocks are a "can't fail perennial." Gardeners in colder climates utilize them as annuals, but in most of the South they develop fleshy tubers that seem to last forever. Hortus Third says that these tubers can weigh as much as 40 pounds in warm climates.
Dr. Alice Le Duc, now at Duke University, did her doctoral thesis on four-o'clocks and found that they were cultivated and selected for various colors by the Aztecs many years prior to the Spanish Conquest. They were sent to Spain from Mexico in the 1500's and to England within 75 years. The plant had been in cultivation in Europe for about 200 years before Linnaeus first described the species in 1753. The specimens he described were those of cultivated plants. Although often found in Mexico and the South on old garden sites, this species is no longer found in the wild in Mexico.
Four-o'clocks are lush and bushy to three feet. the tubular flowers bloom in irridescent purple, white, red, yellow and striped. Their name derives from the fact that their flowers open in the late afternoon and stay open until the next morning, except on cloudy days when they open earlier. The fragrance of four-o'clocks is appealing, and is a major reason for their popularity. They also attract hummingbirds and moths to the garden.
Four-o'clocks are very heat and drought tolerant. They flower well in the sun or fairly dense shade. I remember visiting a cemetery on a ranch near Yoakum, Texas, where four-0'clocks were the only reminder of a once well-tended plot. They had escaped the small fenced area under a great live oak tree and were happily flowering in profusion during the hottest time of our summer.
Thomas Jefferson grew what he referred to as the "fragrant Marvel of Peru" at Monticello, where he also cultivated M. longiflora, a creamy-white flowering species native to West Texas and Mexico. A few years ago, while working with Peggy Cornett, Director of the Historic Plant Collection at Monticello, we were able to provide seeds of this plant to Monticello. It is once again growing there and is available through their mail order catalog.
Four-o'clocks may be easily started from seed or tubers. In colder parts of the country the tubers may be dug in the fall and stored until spring. They tend to produce a great deal of seed and can become pests, although the young seedlings are easily pulled or hoed. One year, I planted a number of magenta colored four-o'clocks at our farm and they had reseeded prolifically by early fall, covering an area about 6' x 20.' It was an unusually dry year and the young plants received no irrigation. They were wilted and stunted until the first good fall rain when they miraculously freshened and covered themselves with flowers in just a few days. They were as showy as azaleas for that period, and I had a new appreciation for their old name "Marvel of Peru."
JUN 15, 2014 | Bristol, Tenn. Finals Run for Wilkerson Heats Up Bristol
It is great to see my friend get to the final at Bristol, TN
It wasn't a perfect weekend for Tim Wilkerson, but it was good enough to propel the Ford Funny Car driver prominently back into the fight for the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello Championship.
After posting career best numbers during Friday qualifying for the 14th annual Ford Thunder Valley Nationals (4.013 seconds at 317.72 miles per hour), Wilkerson showed off his hot weather tuning skills Sunday before his Levi, Ray and Shoup Mustang dropped a couple of cylinders and fell back in a final round loss to the Dodge of Tommy Johnson Jr.
It was the versatile 53-year-old's first final round appearance in more than a year and it put him back in the Top 10 in Mello Yello Series points at a time when jostling for positions in the NHRA's Countdown to the Champion has begun to intensify. Wilkerson, who started the day 11th, moved up to ninth and within three racing rounds (60 points) of fifth.
"We were fighting some ignition issues a little bit all day," acknowledged the 17-time tour winner. "We started it up a couple of times (leading up to the final round) and finally just ran out of time. We saw something when we got up there and made an adjustment, but it still went out and dropped not one, but two cylinders at once on the left side.
"The car will make a move when you drop a hole (like that)," he said, "but dropping two practically makes it take a left turn and it was either lift - or hit the wall."
Despite the improved results, Wilkerson couldn't hide his disappointment after losing in the final round for the second time in the last five years at Thunder Valley and, in the process, failing to bring to an end a winless streak that now has reached 67 races. The owner, crew chief and driver of the L-R-S Mustang last won at tour event on August 7, 2011 at Seattle, Wash

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
try to find funding to offer more services for the elderly.
I am a past member of the board of Catholic Charities and always felt it was a most enjoyable and worthwhile volunteer experience and one I feel blessed to have been priviledged to do. There are, of course, a number of very good programs that help people in need be it financial,
emotional or providing knowledge, understanding or information. The attitude that I believe is one of the best assets of the organization is the focus by the board and staff in analyzing how they address their mission and what improvements and additions they might make to better serve the needs of southeast Texans. The advent of the two major hurricanes (Rita and Ike) that so impacted the region saw an expanded role for the agency - that of helping hurricane victims . They saw the need for more help and training for their own staff, found it and then built on that for post-hurricane service. For example, when
gift cards were being handed out a program in financial management
was established. It was so welcomed that it has been expanded beyond just hurricane victims but has broadened to help others who may not need direct financial aid but improved skills in asset management including establising and maintaining good credit.
Catholic Charities of SE Texas has grown and changed for the good of many of those served. I am proud to have been even a very small parat of that agency.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Lonza will provide cell-line and process-development services for Athera Biotechnologies' PC-mAb phosphorylcholine monoclonal antibody candidate, which the latter is developing as a treatment for preventing restenosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Lonza's activities will exploit its GS Gene Expression System™ and secure a cGMP manufacturing route for Athera's antibody candidate.
Swedish firm Athera is one of Karolinska Development's portfolio companies and is developing PC-mAb as a means to block the uptake of oxidized LDL in macrophages, and so effectively block the inflammatory process leading to atherosclerosis.
Athera's second therapeutic approach is designed to help prevent plaque rupture and atherothrombosis through increased binding of a plasma protein, annexin A5, to endothelium. The candidate is in preclinical development as a potential biopharmaceutical for treating acute coronary syndrome patients at immediate risk of acute heart attack.
The firm already has a CE-marked diagnostic product on the market. CVDefine® is an ELISA test for detecting IgM antibodies against phosphorylcholine. Athera claims low levels of anti-PC indicates a risk for the development of cardiovascular disease, and CVDefine has been developed to provide an early indication of lesions in the artery wall caused by inflammation.

Malema's Suspension From South Africa's ANC MayStrengthen Zuma
Julius Malema, the leader of the youth league of South Africa's ruling African National Congress, lost a bid to overturn charges that led to his suspension from the party, increasing President Jacob Zuma's chances of winning a second term as party leader.
Malema, 30, was cast out of the ANC for five years on Nov. 10, after a disciplinary committee found he brought the party into disrepute by calling for the ouster of the government of neighboring Botswana and insulting ANC leaders. An appeals panel, led by businessman Cyril Ramaphosa, upheld the charges yesterday, while judging that Malema could appeal against the severity of his sentence.
The ANC is due to hold elections in December, and Malema has been pushing for Zuma to be replaced as party leader by his deputy Kgalema Motlanthe. The youth leader, who remained an ANC member while the appeal was pending, may be unable to use ANC platforms to campaign once suspended.
"President Zuma has come out looking a little bit stronger than he was before," Mari Harris, a political analyst at Ipsos Markinor, a Johannesburg-based research company, said in a phone interview yesterday. "Julius Malema has overestimated his support, both in the country and in the party."
Malema and five other youth league officials who were disciplined for breaking party rules may argue for lighter sentences because they weren't given the opportunity to present mitigating arguments, Ramaphosa said yesterday in Johannesburg. The disciplinary panel, which must hear their case within 14 days, may decide to impose even harsher sentences, he said.
The decision on when Malema's suspension will take effect "resides within the leading structures of the ANC," Jackson Mthembu, a party spokesman, said by phone.
The appeals panel overruled a finding that league officials had purposefully disrupted a meeting where Zuma was present. It dismissed the youth league's claims that the disciplinary proceedings were procedurally flawed and that the officials who oversaw them were biased.
"Substantively Malema is still the loser," Aubrey Matshiqi, a political analyst at the Helen Suzman Foundation in Johannesburg, said in a phone interview. "The verdict against him has not changed."
Malema, who has publicly ridiculed Zuma, has lobbied the ANC to adopt a policy of nationalizing mines, banks and land in Africa's biggest economy. Chief executives of the largest companies operating in South Africa, including Anglo American Plc and AngloGold Ashanti Ltd., have warned the policy threat may deter investment.
The league, which helped Zuma oust Thabo Mbeki as ANC leader in 2007, successfully pressured the ruling party to study the viability of nationalization. In October last year, Malema led thousands of young supporters on a 62-kilometer (39-mile) march between Johannesburg and Pretoria, calling for nationalization and jobs. A quarter of South Africa's workforce is unemployed.

DAVIS, Okla. (AP) - A Turner Falls Park official says a Dallas teenager has died after diving into shallow water.
Park Manager Tom Graham says 18-year-old Alexander Olvera dove into Honey Creek about 10:45 a.m. Sunday. When Olvera did not resurface, his family called for help.
Lifeguards from a nearby swimming area and family members performed CPR on the teen before paramedics arrived. Olvera was
pronounced dead at a Sulphur hospital.
He was the sixth person to drown in an Oklahoma body of water during the Independence Day holiday weekend. Two people drowned at
Lake Thunderbird in Norman, while one person each drowned in Lake
Texoma in Marshall County, Lake Altus-Lugert in Kiowa County and
Lake Murray near Ardmore.

A Byzantine Christian icon box made of bone with a cross carved on the lid was discovered on an excavated Jerusalem street, archaeologists said Sunday, Oct. 30, 2011.
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli archaeologists say they have found a
tiny, 1,400-year-old token of Christian faith in the excavation of an ancient road in Jerusalem.
The exquisitely made box of bone, less than one inch square, with a cross carved on the lid, was likely carried by a Christian believer around the end of the 6th century A.D.
When its lid is removed, the remains of two portraits are still visible in gold and paint -- a man and a woman, possibly Jesus and Mary.
Archaeologists with the Israel Antiquities Authority say the box is the first well preserved example of its kind and is important because it shows that icon use was not limited to church ceremonies in Byzantine times.
Similar icons are still carried today by some Christians from eastern Orthodox churches.
The relic was found in the City of David excavation, a Jerusalem
dig named for the biblical king.

iPod touch (5th generation) and iPod nano (7th generation) now shipping
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video
Apple's fifth-generation iPod touch and seventh-generation iPod nano are arriving on doorsteps and Apple Store locations today. Originally announced alongside the iPhone 5 last month, the new touch and nano didn't see the near-immediate availability that the iPhone 5 enjoyed. The new iPod touch features the same, larger 4-inch display that you'd find on the iPhone 5, and is available in a multitude of colors. Same goes for the iPod nano on the color front, and it also picks up a more traditional tall-screen layout as well. The new iPod touch starts at $299, while the new iPod nano can be had for $149.

I've verified the problem on OSX, sqlite3, Py25. And i've verified that the problem is *not* present using MySQL 5ish, debian, Py24.
From the code, i'm guessing this is a problem with the sqlite introspection only. The Postgres and Oracle code both seem to already take DecimalFields into account (though i haven't tested this). I've attached a patch.

- Patch needs improvement set
I added a patch which adds guessed max_digits and decimal_places for SQLite (with a notice) because decimal fields in SQLite are simply mapped as real (float) type. This way, the output of inspectdb is valid.
The problem with the current patch is that it doesn't pass with MySQL. Strangely, my version of mysqldb (1.2.2-10+b1) is always returning the value + 2 in cursor.description[4] (precision). Is this a known mysqldb bug?
comment:8 Changed 5 years ago by claudep
- Patch needs improvement unset
After some more research, I think that this might be due to historically reasons. MySQL used to store decimal fields as strings, and the length returned was also counting a place for the dot and the sign, hence the + 2.
I'm attaching a patch that fixes this peculiarity in MySQL introspection file.

The Longest Time
|"The Longest Time"
|Single by Billy Joel
|from the album An Innocent Man
|"Christie Lee"
|March 1984
|Doo-wop, a capella
|Billy Joel
|Phil Ramone
|Billy Joel singles chronology
"The Longest Time" is a doo-wop single by Billy Joel. The song was released as a single in 1984 as the fourth single from the 1983 album An Innocent Man. It reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart.[1] In the United Kingdom the song reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song features Joel on lead vocals and all backing vocals. Two musical instruments are present in the song: a bass guitar and a snare drum being played with brushes. When the song is covered by vocal groups, the bass part is typically sung.[2] All other sounds in the song are Joel's vocals, along with percussive sounds such as finger snaps and hand claps.[3] Phil Ramone and Joel had intended to feature a vocal group but Joel recorded each of the parts himself.[4]
Music video[edit]
The music video starts with a man (played by Joel) in a gym after his 25th high school reunion party. Looking around at posters of several class awards, he breaks into song as his band, apparently portrayed as his high school friends, enters the gym. As they sing, they alternate between their high school and current selves. The video was entirely filmed at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
The song has been covered by many a cappella groups.
In popular culture[edit]
The song is featured in the 2008 film Step Brothers, in which a fictional Billy Joel cover band named "Uptown Girl" plays the song, then is subsequently booed off the stage.[5]
A parody of the song is written and performed in the Madam Secretary episode "The Show Must Go On" (season 2, episode 1; original air date October 4, 2015) by Secretary Elizabeth McCord's staff, featuring lyrics which outline the United States' positions on and hopes for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, at the conference of the prospective partner nations.
In the episode "The Time Travelers" of the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, Ted and Barney, along with their future selves, sing the song a capella.

BlueScope to cut a further 170 jobs
- From: AAP
- January 14, 2013
STEELMAKER BlueScope is cutting a further 170 jobs in Victoria as it reduces production to cut costs.
About 110 employees at BlueScope's Western Port facility at Hastings, southeast of Melbourne, will lose their jobs in the coming months, along with about 60 contractors, the company said on Monday.
Production at the mill is being reduced from mid-March in order to provide "significant cost savings", BlueScope said in a statement.
"Whilst domestic coated steel demand has not materially declined, this is part of our strategy to continually find better ways to do business and remain a cost effective producer," BlueScope Australia and New Zealand chief executive Mark Vassella said.
"We will now enter a consultation phase with employees and with union representatives to best manage the transition."
The company says it expects the changes to come at a one-off cost of $17 million, but that is expected to be recovered within one year due to the resulting cost savings.
BlueScope already has cut more than 1,000 jobs after making two consecutive $1 billion annual losses, as a range of economic factors hit the Australian steel market and forced the company to end its export operations.
The Australian Workers Union (AWU) has said it will meet with BlueScope on Monday to discuss the changes.
AWU state secretary Cesar Melhem said he expected to be told that major job losses would take effect within weeks.
"This looks like a heart breaking start to the new year for our members at Western Port," Mr Melhelm said.
The company has shed more than 1500 jobs in the past two years.

Maybe if the Union leadership didn't keep demanding more money etc a lot of people would retain their jobs.

The Reserve Bank has to cut interest rates to get the dollar down - or we are going to see on-going job losses in all sectors that are dollar exposed....it must get back to lower than 80c....

APT's 'Verona' a tale of growing pains
Spring Green — If one cuts through the nostalgic gauze surrounding late adolescence, most of us have scar tissue involving imperfectly healed memories of the friends we hurt and loves we lost while trying to figure out who we were and what we wanted.
While it's often staged as a light-hearted romp featuring two early Shakespearean clowns and a show-stealing dog, Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" is all about these growing pains that are part of growing up. »Read Full Article
More binge-viewing options beckon after 'Breaking Bad'
Has the end of "Breaking Bad" left you with a case of quality TV withdrawal? Understandable — even Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins was so smitten by "Breaking Bad" he wrote a fan letter to Bryan Cranston, who played Walter White, the science teacher turned meth manufacturer, after Hopkins finished binge-watching the show.
He called Cranston's performance "the best acting I have seen — ever" and wrote that the show was "spectacular — absolutely stunning....What started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell." »Read Full Article
28-year-old Eleanor Catton's Booker-winning 'The Luminaries' casts a brilliant light
Begin with an intricate, self-consciously Victorian plot, of the page-turning sort that Sarah Waters gives us in "Fingersmith." Mix with the psychologically intense, cat-and-mouse dialogue that characterizes the novels of Henry James. Add the moral and philosophical vision of George Eliot. Bake in a deliberately mythic structure that calls to mind James Joyce's "Ulysses."
What emerges is 28-year-old Eleanor Catton's "The Luminaries," an 848-page dish so fresh that one continues to gorge, long past being crammed full of goodness. Nearly impossible to put down, it's easily the best novel I've read this year. The Man Booker judges feel the same way, having just given her this year's prize. »Read Full Article

I just started with MDT2012 recently in hopes of eventually getting away with using Ghost to deploy all of our department computers. When I test deploy in VirtualBox, it deploys the OS properly, but stops because of a network driver failure (it gets the "could not allocate resources" issue).
On physical hardware (Latitude E6500, Optiplex 980, and an older Latitude) it gets through the multicast and stops immediately after with:
"Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information"
I've looked at the logs and never see anything really of note. Originally I was using DriverPacks from DriverPacks.net, but thinking it was a driver issue, I switched over to using Dell's cab driver packs. Still the same issue.
I check and it did the HDD is all fine - it was properly partitioned, set to bootable, and was loaded with all the proper OS installer files.
I'm using a flash drive to do the install - when I make changes to the deployment share I rebuild and copy the ISO to the drive, then use YUMI multiboot to start the ISO (probably irrelevant).

Pork Rub (Or Chicken or Beef)
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 0 mins
This is based on the recipe Pork Chop Rub. I wanted more flavors so this is what I came up with. It is fantastic! I used this on butterfly pork chops cooked on the BBQ. It was the best pork chop I had ever had because of this rub. I think this would be great on chicken or beef also. The amount of ingredients are based on 2 pork chops.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon thyme
- 1⁄2 teaspoon marjoram
- 1⁄2 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano
- 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika
- 1⁄2 teaspoon rosemary
- salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Coat both sides of pork chops with olive oil.
- Mix together all spices in a small bowl and then rub into both sides of pork chop.
Most Helpful
Used the rub on chicken. It was fabulous and kept the chicken nice and moist on the inside and crispy and tasty on the outside.
