Oriental Chicken Wings
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
Fried chicken wings with an oriental sauce, similar to Japanese Tebasaki. From a recipe found in Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 6 chopped garlic cloves
- 1⁄4 cup hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- vegetable oil
- Using a blender, puree the chicken broth, garlic, hoisin sauce, ginger, soy sauce, honey and pepper. Transfer to a small saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Cover and keep warm.
- Separate wings at joints, discard tips.
- Add oil in a deep fryer or a large heavy pot to a depth of 2 inches. Heat oil to 300 degrees. Working in 2 batches, fry the wings, turning occasionally, until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined baking sheet. Let the oil return to 300 degrees between batches.
- Heat the oil to 350 degrees. Again working in two batches, fry the chicken wings until browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet.

The seat covers are good quality. The instructions need a little work. You have to do a little thinking. Look good and fit well.

These covers would get 5 stars, but have 2 small problems.1) The inside cutouts for the seat-belts are not even close, or needed, at least 2" off. 2)Thick part of the padding does not wrap around the sides like the Saddleman brand did.This will likely be an area that gets the most wear. A plus is that the headrest cutouts are perfect, and the buckle-fastening system is well fitted.

Check out this quick how-to guide for installing seat covers. They're a lot easier to install than you might imagine.

I've seen this pretty often and this time I can confirm it and rule it as a possible small bug or maybe a future improvement.
Consider this question. I asked it on 1/11/11 and I received an answer a few minutes later, which I then marked as accepted. on 1/12/11 at 11 PM EST (~36 hours later) I get an email from Stack Overflow letting me know that I have one answer for the question.
I know I did, that's why I marked it as accepted, hence it shouldn't have sent me the email as it doesn't make sense: there is nothing new to report. Why can't we be green and save a few bytes here and there.
Maybe the logic should be to only send an email if there is new activity since I last viewed the question. Or maybe use my last activity on that answer to know if I already read it: a comment to an answer, an up/down vote, marking an answer accepted, or the last time I viewed the question.
Just my 2 cents to make SO an the SE network even better than what it currently is.

All Pumped up, Sioux Falls Gas Prices Take a Hike
Prices at the pump are going back up.
Prices at the pump are going back up.
Yesterday I filled up my SUV for about $20 bucks and it was on empty. That hasn't happened in a long time. Check out the cheapest places to buy gas in Sioux Falls.
Thanks to a price war between stations, Michigan residents are finding 47 cents per gallon gasoline.
We all do it. Check to see what the gas prices are on the way to work in the morning. Lately, you have to check again on the way home. Or you'll miss something.
Normally the largest city in South Dakota wants to be at the top of the list. Being at the bottom of this category is preferred status.
The 2015 gas price summer slide should continue into the autumn months. It's a traditional trend save for when a hurricane rips the coast.
People looking for favorable prices at the fuel pump should find them. That's the general outlook for the Labor Day holiday weekend.
If you are like me you check. Every day! Every day I drive by the gas stations wondering when the price at the pump is going to follow along the price of a barrel of crude oil.
You'll notice a bump at the pump very soon in South Dakota if Governor Dennis Daugaard signs a new gas tax hike bill.
With a refinery mishap in California and Spring demand, gas prices nationally continue to climb. Sioux Falls is part of that reality.

Chileans in France

|Uruguayans in France
Chileans in France consist mostly of refugees, but also other migrants such as students or economic workers, from Chile and their descendants in France.
The overthrow of Salvador Allende on the 11th of September 1973, by a military junta, constitutes a major rupture in Chilean contemporary history. The violence of the Pronunciamento and the implementation of the tenets of the national security doctrine, supplemented by an ad hoc legislation, caused an enormous political, then economic migration, quite extraordinary for a Latin American country. In Europe, France as well as Sweden were part of the main host countries. The exiles were given a particularly good reception in France because of the positive echo of the Popular Unity experience. Yet, banishment was an additional act of violence for these people who were seriously weakened by the events they had experienced. The effects of the temporality of exile and the individual reconstruction imposed by its extension will lead these Chileans to redefine the roles of each member of the family unit and accept a long denied reality, in order to try to achieve the integration process. Thus, even if the conditions of reception were favorable, the exiles had to rebuild their social connections, adapt to an unknown form of socialization and to often consent to be deskilled and resign themselves to remaining outsiders.[2]

Amplification of Cretaceous Warmth by Biological Cloud Feedbacks
That's the title of an article in Science today (available here with subs.) I'm giving a talk this morning so don't have a lot of time to comment on it, but here's the abstract:
The extreme warmth of particular intervals of geologic history cannot be simulated with climate models, which are constrained by the geologic proxy record to relatively modest increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Recent recognition that biological productivity controls the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) in the unpolluted atmosphere provides a solution to this problem. Our climate simulations show that reduced biological productivity (low CCN abundance) provides a substantial amplification of CO2-induced warming by reducing cloud lifetimes and reflectivity. If the stress of elevated temperatures did indeed suppress marine and terrestrial ecosystems during these times, this long-standing climate enigma may be solved.
Wow. If climate warming "did indeed suppress marine and terrestrial ecosystems," which leads to "reduced biological productivity" then we get fewer clouds and more absorption of the sun's heat. Ocean acidification and widespread drought, wildfires, and pests, anyone?
Oh, what the heck, here's the rest of this very upbeat article — it's short and worth a read:
During supergreenhouse intervals of the geologic past, both tropical and polar temperatures were considerably warmer than today, and the gradient between the two was reduced. To even approach these equable climate states with climate models, atmospheric CO2 levels must be specified that significantly exceed most proxy estimates for the Cretaceous and the Eocene (1). Thus, climate modelers have invoked viable but hard-to-evaluate hypotheses of elevated atmospheric methane levels, greater poleward oceanic heat transport, and enhanced polar stratospheric clouds (2).
An unexplored alternative involves planetary albedo, the fraction of the incoming solar radiation that is reflected to space, which is largely dependent on cloud cover and cloud albedo. A major determinant of cloud properties is the abundance of cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). When CCN are abundant, many small cloud droplets form, creating optically dense, high-albedo clouds; when abundance is low, fewer and larger droplets form, creating optically thinner, lower-albedo, and, importantly, shorter-lived clouds (3). Today, pollution dominates continental CCN, producing abundances of thousands per cm3. In remote oceanic regions, biological release of dimethylsulfide is the major pathway for CCN production. Andreae (4) concludes that biological productivity determined the CCN concentrations over prehuman unpolluted land and sea, ranging from a few tens per cm3 in low-productivity regions to a few hundred per cm3 in high-productivity regions, supporting the notion of a prominent role for the biota in climate regulation on the prehuman Earth (5). If CO2-induced warming during supergreenhouse intervals reduced global primary productivity by temperature stress and enhanced vertical stratification of the ocean, causing a reduction in CCN concentration, would lower cloud amounts and albedo have caused further warming?
To explore this hypothesis, we used a global climate model (GENESIS version 3.0) (GCM) to simulate middle Cretaceous [100 million years ago (Ma)] climate with various atmospheric CO2 amounts. This GCM has a slab mixed-layer ocean and prognostic cloud water amounts, and version 3 uses the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model 3 (CCM3) radiation code with prescribed cloud droplet radii re (3). Cloud droplet radii mainly affect cloud optical depth, infrared emissivity, and precipitation efficiency, Pe, the rate at which cloud water is converted to precipitation. Modern large-scale observations and theory suggest that for 10- to 100-fold global reductions in past aerosol and CCN amounts, 30% (over ocean) to 100% (over land) increases in liquid droplet radii are plausible (3). We simulate the Cretaceous climate with these increases in re and with Pe increased for liquid clouds by a factor of 2.2, reflecting the maximum likely effect of extreme global warmth on marine and terrestrial biological productivity and CCN production rate.
Our Cretaceous model results are shown in Fig. 1. [JR: Reprinted at bottom] In common with previous GCM studies, increasing CO2 from 1x to 4x preindustrial atmospheric level (PAL) (Fig. 1, A and B) fails to produce the extreme high-latitude warmth implied by temperature proxy data (Fig. 1D). We then performed another 4x PAL simulation with the increases in re and Pe described above (Fig. 1C). Global cloud cover is reduced from 64 to 55%, and the less extensive and optically thinner clouds reduce planetary albedo from 0.30 to 0.24. The ensuing warming is dramatic, both in the tropics and in high latitudes, where it is augmented by surface albedo feedback of almost vanishing snow and sea-ice cover. (Other feedbacks due to changes in cloud types and levels are minor.) High-latitude continental temperatures remain above or very close to freezing year round, in better accord with proxy evidence.
Our results support the hypothesis that widespread increases in re can explain the drastic warming and equable high latitudes during supergreenhouse intervals of the Cretaceous and early Cenozoic. The increases in re could plausibly have been caused by an order of magnitude decrease in CCN concentrations, which we suggest was caused in turn by declines in biological productivity triggered by the climatic consequences of high CO2 levels of 4x PAL.

24 Responses to Amplification of Cretaceous Warmth by Biological Cloud Feedbacks
Unfortunately, the most glorious life-full times in Earth history (from when we get nowadays' petrol) happened to be quite hotter than now, which hardly supports the idea that an increase of CO2 may have a possitive feedback on temperatures because of the death of animal and plant life.
It can ba admitted that the loss of ecosystems means less clouds, but it has to be proved that the increase of CO2 or temperatures will lead to that loss of ecosystems creating the positive feedback. All the past data leads to the opposite conclussions.
All the past data leads to the opposite conclussions.
Joe's and Nylo's implied points – opposite of one another – need to be clarified.
65 MYA the planet was very different. Can we make assumptions based on events then? Yes. Can we make policy? I'm not sure.
However, it is abundantly clear that humans are stressing ecosystems – there is no doubt of this – and additional stressors could lead not to a loss of ecosystems, but a loss in their regimes whereby they flip to new states. States with which we are not familiar, making planning and even day-to-day life much more difficult.
Now, should we base policy on events from more than 65 MYA with this context?
Isn't the real question do we base policy on the 1.5 – 4.5C IPCC projection or the 6 – 9C warming Joe and Dr Hansen are promoting? Also, much of the stress on ecosystems comes from land use and non CO2 pollutants. I think too little attention is paid to land use both as a cause and a solution to rising CO2 concentrations.
Nylo Said: "Unfortunately, the most glorious life-full times in Earth history (from when we get nowadays' petrol) happened to be quite hotter than now, which hardly supports the idea that an increase of CO2 may have a possitive feedback on temperatures because of the death of animal and plant life."
What matters is not increasing temperatures, but the rate of temperature increase. Ultimately higher temperatures may very well lead to increased density of life, but many current species will simply not be able to adapt fast enough to rising temperatures and northwards shifting ecosystems and climate zones, so the species that make up that increased density will undoubtedly be different.
exusian wrote "What matters is not increasing temperatures, but the rate of temperature increase." Both matter. Looking at the temperatures of the Cenazoic, 65 mya to now:
we see that the globe is now quite cold and has been throughout the evolution of genus Homo and even earlier man-like species, say the last 6–5 million years. So Homo spaiens sapiens (modern humans) is a specians evolved for a cold climate.
Even more telling, our agriculture is only adapted to the remarkably stable climate of the Holocene. Moving out of that risks all agriculture.
Also, higher temperatures may very well lead to more desert area. This does appear to be happening. So I will doubt that hotter is better; indeed, the is good reason to believe that slightly colder is better.
Ah, but David, I did not exclude Homo spaiens sapiens from those species that might not be around in some future warmer world. In fact my point was that although life will go on, it most likely will not be life as we know it.
exusian wrote "… although life will go on, it most likely will not be life as we know it." Yes. I prefer life as we know it.
Spelling correction: Cenozoic.
The rate of rotation of the earth decreases about 0.2 milliseconds/100 yrs or 2 sec /1 million yrs, due to friction with the oceans. 100 million years ago the rate rotation of the earth for one day would be about 20.7 hrs. This is probably the real reason for the warmer climate during the Middle Cretaceous. At the start of the Cretaceus, the lenght of the day would have been about 19.5 hrs.
How do you get more heat from less sun exposure?
Harold Pierce Jr — How long ago was 'snowball earth'? What was the rate of rotation then?
If the earth's rotation is faster, there is less time for cooling. Due to thermal inertia of the oceans and some types of land, these would accumulate energy and heat up. The tropics stay warm because the sun is overhead, the day and night are about equal in lenght and this light-dark cycle is pretty constant.
Imagine the earth as spicy meatball on a skewer, and you want to cook it uniformly. How do you do this? You put it in a rotissorie with a radiant heater and adjust the rate so that it is heats up nice and slow and is continouly bathed in its own juices. If the skewer didn't rotate, one side would heat up and burn, and the other side would stay cool.
Have you guys ever roasted hotdogs and marshmallows on a stick over a campfire? Or are you 100% downtown city slickers?
Snowball earth is likely a consequence of Milankovitch cycles.
Go to wikipedia and look up "rotation of earth". I was quite suprised to learn about the numerous factors that effect the speed of the earth's rotation such as the tides and the varing positions of the planets in the solar system.
Harold Pierce Jr wrote "Snowball earth is likely a consequence of Milankovitch cycles." Nope, landmass distribution.
My point was it was a long time ago and so the rotation was even faster. But more to the point is the simplest (zero-dimensional) model of the earth's average temperature:
which shows thaat the insolution (on the left) is balanced by the emission (of IR) of the right. Won't heat up by rotating faster.
If the earth's rotation is faster, there is also less time for heating.
ATTN: David!
The snowball earth is just a hypothesis, and there is little verifiable evidence that it ever occured.
ATTN: Tom!
Why is the earth any different than a meatball on a skewer? Answer: None!
Suppose the earth rotated ten times faster than it does now? What would the effect? We would be a carbonized meatball because the earth would never have any time to cool off.
Ever watch a scientific glassblower work molten glass? I have, lots of times. To heat a work piece such as globe, he rotates it manually very fast in the flame of the torch so that it uniformily heated. If the piece is a lathe, he will rotate it very quickly to get it to working temperature, and then slow that rate of rotation to perform a particular operation such as attaching another piece of glass e.g , a piece of tubing or ground-glass joint.
After performing a certain operation, he will then heat the piece in a large bushy flame to uniformily heat it to relieve any stress with cooler portions of the piece. He will then put it an annealing oven where it is slowly heated to a specific temperature at which all stess and strain will be relieved. After a certain time this temperaure, the automatic contols slowly cool the oven down to room temperature. This process is usually carried out overnight. He will then examine the piece thru a stain viewer to unsure that it was properly annealed.
BBQ season is coming. Why don't you guys do some experiments to explore the "Rotisserie Effect? What's nice about these exp's is that you get eat the test material if the exp is sucessful. Otherwise, you can feed the failures to the dog!
"The snowball earth is just a hypothesis, and there is little verifiable evidence that it ever occured."
So which is it, Herald, likely a consequence of Milankovic cycles, or just some hypothesis that is not worth accounting for in your hypothesis of Earth as rotisserie?
"Why is the earth any different than a meatball on a skewer?"
Ummm, because it isn't a meatball on a skewer in a rotisserie? It also doesn't rotate 10 time faster than it does. Nor one tenth as fast. Nor has it ever stood still. It's also not a piece of lab glassware exposed to the direct flame of a torch.
I think you've been watching too many ads for cooking gadgets on late night tv.
Why don't you distance your meatball in the same ratio from your heat source as the earth is from the sun…
Harold Pierce Jr — Actually, the evidence for snowball earth is about as good as it gets in paleogeology. The only remaining point of debate is whether or not the ice sheet totally convered the earth, or only most of it. The evidence appears to point to the later.
Evidence? Herald don't need to see no stinking evidence!
The article in Wikipedia says there is no conclusive evidence for the Snowball Earth.
ATTN: Euxsian!
Call up the Geology Dept at a nearby college or univ, and ask a geologist to comment about my claim that the earth probably rotated faster than it does now about 100 milion years ago. Also some geologist believe that the axis of rotation of earth was tipped much greater from the vertical perpendicular to the plane of its orbit.
ATTN: Tom!
You buy the meatballs and the radiant heater, and I'll do the experiments.
I'll bring a couple of cases of Candian beer and ale and many bottles of wine from the Okanagan!
I already know Earth's rotation was was faster 100 million years ago and that it is very slowly slowing down, Herald. I also know that the sun was not as bright 100 million years ago and that it is very slowly getting brighter as well.
What I called you on was your hyperbole. It was you who asked us to suppose the earth rotated ten times faster than it does now, after all, which is a bit much even for your imagination.
As Tom pointed out, when the earth's rotation was faster, the amount of time any given point on the the surface was exposed to the sun, and thus to direct warming, per rotation was also less. The flaw in your logic is that the surface is ALWAYS cooling off, by both radiating infrared and by convection, not just at night, even in the day time.
Back to the drawing board, Herald.
Of course you're doing said experiments in a vacuum?
BTW I drink Rickards Red…
Harold Pierce Jr wrote "The article in Wikipedia says there is no conclusive evidence for the Snowball Earth." Goes to show that Wikipedia is not to be trusted. There was a very good article about it in 'Scientific American' a few years ago. Subsequently there is evidence strongly suggesting that not the entire globle was covered with ice.
At first this sounds like more evidence for Svensmark's theory of Cosmoclimatogy. They do however turn a lot of cartwheels to involve "biological" agents (reminds me of the use of the homunculus in early brain studies).
Svensmark's work still contains the simplest…and best…answer to warming.

- Brazil's interim president Michel Temer calls for unity
BRASILIA: Brazil's interim President Michel Temer called on his country to rally behind his government of "national salvation," hours after the Senate voted to suspend and put on trial his leftist predecessor, Dilma Rousseff, for breaking budget laws. Temer, a 75-year-old centrist now moving to steer Latin America's biggest country toward more market-friendly policies, told Brazilians to have "confidence" they would overcome an ongoing crisis sparked by a deep economic recession, political volatility and a sprawling corruption scandal. "It is urgent we calm the nation and unite Brazil," he said, after a signing ceremony for his incoming cabinet. "Political parties, leaders, organizations and the Brazilian people will cooperate to pull the country from this grave crisis." Brazil's crisis brought a dramatic end to the 13-year rule of the Workers Party, which rode a wave of populist sentiment that swept South America starting around 2000 and enabled a generation of leftist leaders to leverage a boom in the region's commodity exports to pursue ambitious and transformative social policies. But like other leftist leaders across the region, Rousseff discovered that the party, after four consecutive terms, overstayed its welcome, especially as commodities prices plummeted and her increasingly unpopular government failed to sustain economic growth. In addition to the downturn, Rousseff, in office since 2011, was hobbled by the corruption scandal and a political opposition determined to oust her. After Rousseff's suspension, Temer charged his new ministers with enacting business-friendly policies while maintaining the still-popular social programs that were the hallmark of the Workers Party. In a sign of slimmer times, the cabinet has 23 ministers, a third fewer than Rousseff's. A constitutional scholar who spent decades in Brazil's Congress, Temer faces the momentous challenge of hauling the world's No. 9 economy out of its worst recession since the Great Depression and cutting bloated public spending. He quickly named respected former central bank governor Henrique Meirelles as his finance minister, with a mandate to overhaul the costly pension system. Rousseff defiant The Senate deliberated for 20 hours before voting 55-22 early on Thursday to put Rousseff on trial over charges that she disguised the size of the budget deficit to make the economy look healthier in the runup to her 2014 re-election. Rousseff, 68, was automatically suspended for the duration of the trial, which could be up to six months. Before departing the presidential palace in Brasilia, a defiant Rousseff vowed to fight the charges. In her speech, she reiterated what she has maintained since impeachment proceedings were launched against her last December by the lower house of Congress. She denied any wrongdoing and called the impeachment "fraudulent" and "a coup." "I may have made mistakes but I did not commit any crime," she said. Rousseff's mentor, former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who now faces corruption charges, stood behind her and looked on dejectedly. Even as outgoing ministers wept, Rousseff remained stolid. "I never imagined that it would be necessary to fight once again against a coup in this country," Rousseff said, in a reference to her youth fighting Brazil's military dictatorship. "This is a tragic hour for our country," said Rousseff, an economist and former Marxist guerrilla, calling her suspension an effort by conservatives to roll back the social and economic gains made by Brazil's working class. The Workers Party rose from Brazil's labor movement in the 1970s and helped topple generals who had held power for two decades ending in 1985. In the heady days of Lula's presidency, starting in 2003, it helped lift millions of people out of poverty before running into recession and scandal, with many of its leaders now tainted by corruption investigations and criminal convictions. Despite Rousseff's vows to fight, she is unlikely to be acquitted in the Senate trial. The size of the vote to try her showed the opposition already has the support it will need to reach the two-thirds majority required to remove her definitively from office. "It is a bitter though necessary medicine," opposition Senator Jose Serra, who became the new foreign minister, said during the marathon Senate debate. "Having the Rousseff government continue would be a bigger tragedy." Economic challenges Temer aides said the incoming government would soon announce a series of austerity measures to help reduce a massive budget deficit. An immediate goal is a reform of Brazil's costly pension system, possibly setting a minimum age for retirement, said one advisor. Brazilian markets, which for weeks have rallied because of expectations for a business-friendly Temer administration, traded similarly to a day earlier. Upon being notified of her suspension early Thursday, Rousseff dismissed her cabinet, including the sports minister, who is in final preparations for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August. The central bank governor, who has ministerial rank, was the only minister to remain. As suspended head of state, Rousseff can continue to live in her official residence, and is entitled to a staff and use of an Air Force plane. Fireworks erupted in cities across Brazil after the Senate vote, but the country took the change in stride. Some celebrants in São Paulo and other cities draped themselves in Brazil's green, yellow and blue flag, while some Rousseff backers protested. Temer, of the grab-bag Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, must stabilize the economy and restore calm at a time when Brazilians, increasingly polarized, are questioning whether their institutions can deliver on his promise of stability. In addition to the gaping deficit, equal to more than 10 percent of its annual economic output, Brazil is suffering from rising unemployment, plummeting investment and a projected economic contraction of more than 3 percent this year. "Only major reforms can keep Brazil from moving from crisis to crisis," says Eduardo Giannetti da Fonseca, an economist and author in São Paulo who has written extensively about the country's socioeconomic problems. But those changes, including the pension effort, overhauls of tax and labor laws and a political reform to streamline fragmented parties in a mercenary Congress, could remain elusive at a time of turmoil. Elected leaders from parties that had been in the opposition expressed optimism on Thursday that they could come together to help spur a recovery. Even some leftists said Temer may enjoy Congressional goodwill because, after his long experience there, he could ably negotiate with disparate parties and interests. "Temer is someone who knows Congress, said Hugo Leal, a socialist Congressman from Rio de Janeiro. "He understands the logic." Wild cards remain for Temer himself, including still-pending investigations by an electoral court into financing for his and Rousseff's 2014 election campaign. Then there is the far-reaching kickback probe around state-run oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4.SA), which has ensnared dozens of corporate and political chieftains, and helped set the scene for the discontent that engulfed Rousseff.

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing protein therapeutics for the treatment of diseases with serious unmet need, primarily cancer. We were founded in 2001 by scientists of the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry and in 2008 became a member of the Daiichi Sankyo Group, one of the leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
Medical breakthroughs seldom arise from large teams of scientists. But from the expertise and passion of a few outstanding minds.
Accordingly, we have established a small, effective team. The group is made up of brilliant, passionate research scientists who can understand you precisely and speak your language. Your contact person is also a decision-maker, and decisions are made quickly and feedback is given promptly when there are only 40 members of staff.
We are small, yet, if required, we can also be large – with enormous capacities.
Next to great minds, the development of outstanding, innovative drugs for the treatment of serious illnesses also requires a completely different kind of resource: money. With the international Daiichi Sankyo Group, which has 17,000 employees and European Headquarters in Munich, we have accumulative power and additional experience and expertise on our side.
In spite of all this, you will not notice anything as, in your eyes, we will remain a straightforward, approachable team with a designated contact person. But you will notice it when you actually bring your innovation onto the market: because you will need endurance and staying power – to take every chance and opportunity.
Professor Axel Ullrich, Director, Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, founded the company U3 Pharma in 2001. Since its formation, U3 Pharma has been ignited by the passion to spearhead and drive forward the area of target medicines aimed at combating cancer.
The business works in close cooperation with several leading academic institutions and is constantly forming new contacts and partnerships with the international research community.
U3 Pharma is currently employing 39 staff members, including 15 people with a doctorate.
Target Evaluation
Lead Generation
Phase I
Phase II
Phase III
Our leading research position is no accident. The groundbreaking discoveries of our founder and the Director of the Max Planck Institute in Munich, Professor Axel Ullrich, provided an excellent foundation. Leading brains are now developing our prominence further.
Our acute understanding of target biology on one side, along with our parallel screening for hits on the other side, quickly and emphatically advances our research into highly efficient active ingredients.
Our scientific focus is based around the discovery and development of revolutionary drugs that offer the maximum benefits for patients, especially against cancer.
Through our partnership with the international player Daiichi Sankyo we also have all the necessary means available to us.
We collaborate extensively with academic groups for the initiation and progression of our projects and we are keenly aware that basic research is the start of every drug development. If you would like to collaborate with U3 Pharma, please contact us.
Briefly describe your discovery to us. We would be pleased to respond to you promptly regarding the potential for implementing your discovery.
Simply contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax. We look forward to hearing from you.
Naturally, we are also available to respond to any other queries.

The discovery of a new drug candidate is like an inner moment of realisation. A unique, emotional moment. We understand this feeling because we have experienced it ourselves on several occasions.
Only: How do you arrange for a drug candidate to receive clinical development and then be released onto the market? How can it help people and bring real value?
As drivers of biomedical progress, we know exactly what is required to successfully bridge this 'Valley of Death' towards market entry. Many years of experience and scientific excellence are indispensable for this purpose. And, in addition, there is the immense potential that comes from partnering with one of the world's largest pharmaceutical groups as a backdrop.

Check that the battery connections are clean tight and secure, make sure the ground strap to the engine and chassis is OK. Measure the battery voltage if charged it should be 12.6 volts, for the hell of it try jump starting it from another running car. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars..

All Rise...
Judge Clark Douglas used to drive a 1953 Hondo.
Editor's Note
Our review of Hondo, published November 29th, 2005, is also available.
The Charge
Out of the gunsmoke into her heart!
Opening Statement
"Everybody gets dead. It was his turn."
Facts of the Case
Hondo Lane (John Wayne, The Searchers) is an army dispatch rider who wanders onto the property of Mrs. Angie Lowe (Geraldine Page, The Trip to Bountiful) and her young son Johnny (Lee Aaker, Bye Bye Birdie). Unfortunately, Mrs. Lowe's property is located in the middle of a vast battleground which will soon by occupied by warring members of the U.S. Cavalry and a local Apache tribe. Hondo offers to protect Mrs. Lowe, and begins to develop feelings for her despite the fact that she's still married. Are Hondo's feelings doomed to remain unrequited? Additionally, can Hondo broker some sort of peace treaty between the military men he works for and the Apaches he admires?
The Evidence
Here are five amusing things you need to know about Hondo:
1. John Wayne plays a character who claims to be part Indian, and he explains the mystical smelling powers of Native Americans in a passionate exchange of dialogue with Geraldine Page:
Hondo: "Indians can smell white people."
Truly, Hondo Lane was both the Sherlock Holmes and the W.B. Yeats of New Mexico.
2. There's a scene in which Hondo teaches a six-year-old boy to swim by picking him up, throwing him into a pond and laughing as the poor kid desperately attempts to stay afloat. Remarkably, this scene does not end in tears but rather with the jubilant exclamation, "I can swim! I can swim!"
3. There's a scene in which Hondo tells Mrs. Lowe that she reminds him of his late squaw. She reacts with astonishment:
Angie: "Of an Indian girl? Was she fair?"
How strange! Obviously, the only defining feature a woman has which is worth remembering is her looks, so what on earth could possibly connect two women who don't look much like each other?
4. The film was shot in 3-D (no, really) but is presented in plain old 2-D on this Blu-ray release, meaning you get a ton of hilarious shots in which John Wayne pokes things toward the screen. Also, the film contains an intermission despite the fact that it has a running time of 84 minutes (less than half the running time of an intermission-worthy epic like The Ten Commandments).
5. The film has a schizophrenic relationship with the Apache, at times extolling their nobility but still encouraging us to cheer when they are being slaughtered by the Cavalry. This fractured point-of-view is highlighted by an entirely-too-glib dialogue exchange late in the movie.
Lieutenant McKay: "General Crook will be here within a month with a
large force."
Then happy music swells on the soundtrack, and everyone cheerfully saunters off.
So no, Hondo isn't exactly a great piece of cinema, but it's a reasonably entertaining one, if you're willing to overlook its particularly dated social perspective ("A woman should know how to cook!" Hondo insists). Its quick pace, short running time and smart use of Wayne's charismatic screen presence make it an easy watch, and there's some genuine moral complexity in the subplot involving Page's estranged husband (even if the filmmakers make it a little too easy to root for Hondo by presenting the husband as both foolish and villainous). It's based on a novel by the prolific Louis L'Amour and is a comparably traditional, familiar, engaging experience.
Hondo (Blu-ray) has received a very attractive 1080p/1.78:1 transfer which does a nice job of highlighted the film's vivid color cinematography. The brighter colors have a lot of pop, depth is impressive and detail is sturdy throughout. There are moments in which the grain looks strangely frozen, but this doesn't prove to be a significant issue. A handful of shots are soft and blurry, but for the most part this is a stellar transfer. I'm much less enthusiastic about the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround track, which suffers from some significant distortion early on during a number of dialogue scenes. Things get better in that department as the film proceeds, but the large-scale battle scenes sound disappointingly flat and tinny. The sweeping score generally sounds stellar, though. Supplements are both generous and Leonard Maltin-centric: A commentary with Maltin, historian Frank Thompson and actor Lee Aaker, a quintet of featurettes ("The Making of Hondo," "Profile: James Edward Grant," "The John Wayne Stock Company: Ward Bond," "From the Batjac Vaults" and "The Apache"), an introduction from Maltin, a photo gallery and a trailer.
Closing Statement
Hondo isn't among John Wayne's finest westerns, but it's a solid representation of what the western genre was like circa 1953 and should prove satisfying to fans of both The Duke and L'Amour.
The Verdict
Not guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Hondo (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Illustrated companion
Gauguin was enough of an Impressionist to need the stimulus of some aspect of the natural world to enable him to realise in paint his vision of a primitive paradise, and his search took him initially to the most unspoilt part of France, Brittany. which he first visited in 1886. His view of Le Pouldu in Brittany. showing Breton peasants at work in the fields, is in the Tate Gallery collection [T00895]. In 1887 he went to Panama and Martinique, then, after returning to Brittany for a few years, in 1891 he went to the South Pacific Islands where he spent most of the rest of his life, largely on the island of Tahiti. 'Faa Iheihe' is a marvellous example of Gauguin's rich and decorative mature style, in which he finally and triumphantly succeeded in creating a consistent series of images of his personal paradise, peopled by 'the Eve of my choice'. 'Faa Iheihe' presents a vision of beautiful people living in harmony with each other and with both the animal and vegetable kingdoms of the Earth.
A key element in the paradise is a simple religion and the figure in the centre appears to be a goddess or priestess making a ritual gesture. Gauguin in fact derived this figure from decorations on a Javanese temple, photographs of which were found in his hut at the time of his death. The whole composition is frieze-like and decorative, and Gauguin's concern for decorative effect is also evident in the ornate panel in which he has placed the title, his signature, and the date.
The title is Tahitian and its meaning has been the subject of scholarly debate since there is apparently no word of this precise spelling in Tahitian. The view of Bengt Danielsson, now accepted, is that Gauguin mistranslated the word fa'ai'ei'e, mistaking the glottal stops for h-sounds. The meaning is To beautify, adorn, embellish in the sense of someone beautifying themselves for a special occasion.

It seems that since the 2011 Heisman Trophy ceremony that Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck have been joined at the hip as both Heisman candidates (Griffin won) and top two picks in the NFL draft (which Luck is expected to "win"). And it seems as if they have a lot in common as youngsters who moved around a great deal with their families, excelled in athletics and were talented enough as student athletes to end up at prestigious private institutions such as Baylor and Stanford.
We can argue till we're blue in the face as to which one deserves to go first in the draft and comparisons to the 1998 draft where the Colts (in that top spot again in 2012) had to choose between Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf on whom to build their franchise's future seem kind of tired at this point. There seems to be little possiblity of Luck or Griffin building up a more impressive criminal than NFL record the way Leaf has done, both near and far from the Texas Panhandle.
Then there were last week's workouts where Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill dazzled scouts, possibly enough to earn a top five spot in the draft behind Luck and RGIII. Tannehill was considered a borderline top 10 pick prior to that.
What's the common thread between, Luck, Griffin and Tannehill? Why Texas, of course.
The Lone Star state connection seems fairly obvious in the case of Griffin and Tannehill, who both played their college football in Texas. They also played their high school ball here as well, Griffin at Copperas Cove and Tannehill at, of all places, Big Spring.
Luck's Texas background might not seem so obvious to fathom, until you consider that his father was former Houston Oilers quarterback Oliver Luck. The Lucks moved around a bit until settling back in the Houston area, where Andrew attended Stratford High.
As recently as a decade ago, the idea that Texas high schools could produce three quarterbacks who would go in the top 10 of the NFL draft seemed far-fetched at best, laughable at worst. After all, this is the state of Doak Walker, Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Cedric Benson and any other of several great running backs you could care to mention. It's the state of Darrell Royal, who only seemed to have his team throw a pass due to a court order.
But the game has changed, and in high school it's tough to find a program which doesn't run some form of the spread offense. While Florida, California and western Pennsylvania have the reputations for developing quarterbacks, Texas has definitely caught up in the last 15 years. Consider that Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford, Vince Young and Kevin Kolb among others have all gotten at least part-time starting roles behind center in this century and you have an idea of how much Texas has progressed in producing quarterbacks.
And when Luck, Griffin and Tannehill all go whereever they're destined to in the draft, we'll all nod at their common thread.

During the year just past the Church of England's Men's
Society's Mission to Seamen has had a busy time, as shown by
the statistics just compiled for headquarters. They show that
125 visits were paid to 79 vessels, and 357 visits were paid
to seamen laid up in the hospital.
The services held during the year numbered 17, with an
attendance of 252 men, with one special celebration of Holy
Communion. Seventeen concerts and socials were held and
attended by 430 men, while the rooms were used by 414 men,
making a total of 844 men for the year. Of letters written in
the rooms, there were 175, while 45 were received for seamen.
At an admission service for Seamen's Guild members, two were
admitted members and four admitted to probation. In addition
to the above, the attendances have been considerable for this
month, for on the 1st there were about 40 men entertained at
a picnic and entertainment, and men have attended the rooms
during the week. These men were mostly from the S. S. Mamari,
Nairnshire, and Kumara, and the crews have been thankful to
the work carried on at St Matthew's for their comfort.
• The fruit-growers in the Tasman district (Nelson), have
encountered a new pest in the way of imported red deer. These
animals disregard ordinary fencing and wire netting and have
already damaged over 1000 trees in one orchard. The leaves
and also the young shoots on the trees seem to provide a rare
titbit for the animals, and in order to cope with them the
growers intend organising a monster ''drive'' taking in all
the surrounding districts. By this means it is hoped to drive
them back.
• An intricate problem of division engaged the ingenuity of
the immigration officials a few days ago (says the Melbourne
Argus). They have been endeavouring to find employment for
half a dozen married couples with families, and they have
only just succeeded in disposing of one family. One married
couple possesses 11 children, another has eight, and the
other couples from two to five children. The father of the
family of 11 at the outset expressed himself as anxious that
his older children should obtain work in the same district as
himself, but, like the other couples, he was averse to being
parted from any member of his family. The bureau, however,
has been unable to make the arrangement wanted, and is
perplexed by the task of dividing the families in such a way
that the various members may be closely in touch with each
• The Wairarapa paper says people in the backblocks have
other things to contend with besides bad roads. At times, in
just about the narrowest places, a highwayman pig, a gigantic
black boar with gleaming tusks, holds up the unfortunate
traveller. For days the brute will not be seen, and then,
when least expected or wanted, he grimly appears. There is
only one instance where he has actually attacked a man on
horseback, but several have been blocked for a time. Efforts
have been made to meet the pig by armed men, but so far the
callers have not been received. - ODT, 11.1.1913.

Wondering if you can help regarding accommodation.
We will be visiting in June 2014 and need some help with our planning.
We are both 60 and would like mid range accommodation preferably without many steps and very central to most things.
Does anyone have any suggestions.
We will then be travelling through other parts of Europe by train.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Sorry phone playing up. See example above on my previous post to give you an idea. The CSS references can be found on MailChimp for each field. Hope that helps with that part of your query. Nickie
thanks for this incredibly thorough reply. Unfortunately, I'm not as savvy at this as you!
You said
If you look in the form design area, the last section is share it
Where do I find the form design area...?
do you mean where it gives options for colors, etc?
if so, i'm not seeing anything for share it.
or under the main left "nav" for settings?
general, writing, reading, discussion, media, privacy, etc.
sharing is the last one there.
but then i have options to add sharing buttons like FB, twitter, stumbleupon, etc.
thanks for your time and help to clarify.
Hi Plonde.
Sorry, to clarify, the share it section I'm referring to is actually in Mailchimp (not in WordPress) when you sign into your account there. Go into the list for the form you want to embed on your WordPress page and then go into the form where you normally brand up your forms. The share it section where you can generate the code is there.
If you need anymore help, just let me know.
@Nickie - it worked! thanks!
@plonde brilliant, glad to see it helped :)
Just wanted to check and make sure we're all good here?
@Plonde -- you mentioned that the form is all centered, it looks like that's pulling from some other CSS in the site:
box.ads .content {
text-align: center;
However, if you set the text to align left in the form, that should override that area:
#mc_signup_form {
text-align: left;
As far as having all of the "Preferred Format" options on one line, it's probably easier just to skip that field, entirely. Most email clients in 2012 shouldn't have any problem receiving full HTML email (this includes mobile devices, as well). You could either remove that option from the list, or hide it in the CSS. For more info on that, check out this post:
And let us know if we can help with anything else! :)
I'm having the same problem with my entry boxes not being blocked to the left. I added this code to my style.css
#mc_signup_form .mc_input {
display: block;}
I'm not as tech savvy as the other posters on this list so I don't know if I put it in the right place. It is currently right before the footer area.
What do I need to do to have the email, first and last names appear consistently?
The site is http://www.MyGolfBag.co.nz
Hey there!
I had a look at the site, but it appears as though all is well! :)
Here's how things rendered for me:
Screenshot -- http://cl.ly/image/3B0R0E0E3T3G
I see that now. I refreshed a number of times after putting in the code and it hadn't changed. Is there a way of getting the form to display other field names?
Thank you for your help.
Ah. That sounds like a caching issue of some sorts.
Anyway, with "other field names", what do you mean, exactly? The plugin should be able to pull in any field that's in your MailChimp list. You'll just want to go to "Settings" -> "MailChimp Setup", and at the bottom of the MailChimp options, you should see a list of checkboxes that correspond to fields in your list.

Check the ones you'd like to include and then click the "Update Subscribe Form Settings" button.
If you'd like to add additional fields, that will need to be done on the MailChimp side of things:

After that, you'll go back to WordPress, and from the "MailChimp Setup" screen, click the "update list" option.

Thanks for the help. I have added a field in MailChimp, but it doesn't appear on the WordPress side. It's been 12 hours, but I will continue to look for it as a caching problem like before. Also, is it possible to get rid of the HTML, Text or mobile radio box.
Thanks for dealing with my newbie questions.
Hey again, recksteve!
If you're not seeing the fields in your list, you might need to use the "Update List" button from the MailChimp Settings page in WordPress.
As far as getting rid of the "Preferred Format" options, there's actually two ways to do that, depending on how involved you want to get. Check out this thread for the details:
And there's no such thing as a "newbie question". I'm happy to help in any way that I can! :)

'Breakdancing Jesus' mural: Cosmo Sarson creation celebrates Vatican breakdancing performance
A giant mural of Jesus breakdancing has been unveiled in Bristol, in the United Kingdom, according to The Mirror.
Cosmo Sarson created the mural. The Mirror says it took him four days after he won a competition for a commission.
It was inspired by an actual event in the Vatican where breakdancers performed to an applauding Pope John Paul II in 2004.
The Mirror quotes an art competition judge as saying, "The work raises questions about how Christ would interact and communicate with contemporary culture if He returned today."
