Universities to gain four new centres for academic research
Dubai: Four academic research centres specialising in education, the environment, medicine and nanoscience, will be established in Zayed University (ZU) and UAE University (UAEU) next year.
The centres were selected as part of a competition conducted by the National Research Foundation (NRF), which was established by Shaikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Chancellor of UAEU and President of ZU, in March 2008.
Helping society
They will be granted up to Dh10 million each year for five years, after an annual evaluation on their work and progress.
Kenneth Wilson, director of NRF, announced the winners of the competition on Tuesday at Zayed University's Knowledge Village campus in the presence of Dr Maitha Al Shamsi, Minister of State.
The Centre for the Study of Bilingualism and Bilingual Education at ZU, and three centres at UAEU, namely the Water and Environment Centre of Excellence, the Genes and Diseases Research Centre and the Emirates Centre for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering will start their work at the respective university's premises in January 2009.
Dr Sulaiman Al Jasem, Vice-President of ZU, said that this initiative came as a response to the need to participate in helping society, the local community and the world.
"The role of higher education is not only to graduate educated students but also to serve the community through research," he said.
The research generated by those institutions will ultimately be published and will contribute to solving various problems in the country, he added.
The focus of knowledge will be the UAE but there will be "collateral advantage" for neighbouring countries, said Jeffrey Belnap, Associate Provost and Director of ZU's Abu Dhabi campus, who also introduced the Centre for the Study of Bilingualism and Bilingual Education.
Arabic language
The centre will aim to strengthen Arabic language proficiency as well as English as a language of communication.
"The history and teaching of Arabic is a broad concern in the Arab world so this will be beneficial for countries all over the region," he told Gulf News.
Mohsin Al Sharif, who will head the Water and Environment Centre at UAEU, discussed the importance of addressing the water issue in the UAE and revisiting policies of water consumption and uses so that it matches with the national economy.
UAEU's two other upcoming centres will focus on science and medicine.

Might want to try a Headamp KGSS for those Omegas. $1,500 or so and they mate magnificent with Omega ones and twos. That combo is super fast and clear...plenty of voltage swing to energize the phones. Nice step up and you will know it!

Price is extremely cheap for a NOS tube ($5.80 ea). I don't think all that many people know about these (at least not until I posted this). Since SRM-T1 only uses two tubes, the same seller has several auctions going on eBay for pairs that are priced even lower to start that might be useful. I have bought from this seller in the past, and his tubes have always been exactly as advertised. I have no affiliation with the seller or the auction except as a customer.
I don't know how to bias the SRM-T1, but you will need well-matched tubes to bias an SRM-007t.

Hi Hirsh
I just read your views re Raytheon tubes for Stax T1 which you posted a few years ago. i am tossing between toshiba NOS at $50 a matched pair n mazda by Brimar at twice the cost.
From your experience between the two ,can you pease give me a brief run down on their sound characterstics? I like a mesty sound yet open n good top end clarity. Many thanks.

Cytotoxicity of Newly Developed Ortho MTA Root-end Filling Materials.
Journal of Endodontics, 2012
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Various materials have been advocated for use as root-end filling materials.
The purpose of the present in vitro study was to compare the cytotoxicity of 4 root-end filling materials: glass ionomer cement (GIC; Fuji II, GC Corp, Tokyo, Japan), reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (IRM; Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK), and 2 types of mineral trioxide aggregate.
To quantitatively evaluate the cytotoxicity of test materials, the 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) assay was used.
Cell viability was recorded by measuring the optical density of each test well in reference to controls.
RESULTS: The XTT assay showed that the cell viability of ProRoot MTA (Dentsply Tulsa Dental) was higher than that of GIC and Ortho MTA (BioMTA, Seoul, Republic of Korea) at all time points.
The scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that elongated, dense, and almost confluent cells were observed in the cultures of GIC, Ortho MTA, and ProRoot MTA specimens.
In contrast, cells on the surface of IRM were rounded in shape, and the numbers and the density of the cells were smaller than that in the other groups.

James Mangold Reveals 'Logan's' Timeline and Talks Unique Tone
Posted on Thursday, October 20th, 2016 by Jack Giroux
Earlier today we saw the first Logan trailer, which is cut to Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's "Hurt." Perhaps not a terribly subtle song choice, but it's pretty damn effective. The fun nod to Mangold's Walk the Line aside, the song choice also hints the filmmaker is bringing audiences a slightly different offering from the superhero genre, and that was the Mangold and 20th Century Fox's intent with the trailer.
Below, James Mangold discusses Logan's timeline and his aspirations for the film.

Ex-Senator Olympia Snowe on how to change Congress
22 May 2013 Last updated at 02:35 BST
The approval ratings of US Congress are still very low - 15% - after years of partisan gridlock and repeated budget battles, with some lawmakers themselves losing hope in the institution.
Former Republican Senator Olympia Snowe, a moderate from Maine, retired in 2012 after 33 years in Congress, both as a representative and a senator. Ms Snowe said she would not run for re-election as she could no longer get anything done in the Senate.
But she tells the BBC's Katty Kay that she has a pathway for leading the legislature out of its cycle of deadlock.
"There is a way to reverse the trend," she says. "That is to be engaged and to communicate with your lawmakers... reward bipartisanship, compromise and consensus building."

After reading several good Seeking Alpha articles (thanks to Jason Napodano and Tro Kalayjian) and completing my own due diligence, I am convinced that Depomed has the best risk/reward profile I have ever found in an investment.
From its current share price ($8.48) and market cap ($454 million) I have mapped out three scenarios for Depomed over the next few years. I assign a 10% probability to the baseline scenario, which would see DEPO rise to ~$13.30 (up 57%). The moderate scenario has a 30% probability, and puts DEPO at $16.60 (up 97%). The best case scenario (60% probability) sees it rise to almost $45.50 (up 437%). I'll admit that those predictions seem wildly optimistic, but I reach them with modest-seeming estimates.
Let's review DEPO's background to see how I come to those estimates.
DEPO uses what they call AcuForm technology to develop long-lasting formulations of quickly-metabolized drugs. Their first product is a once-a-day formulation of the diabetes drug metformin called Glumetza. Traditional metformin formulations require them to be taken twice a day. DEPO's Glumetza pill swells in the stomach to a size that doesn't allow it to pass into the small intestine. While in the stomach, it slowly releases metformin to maintain effective drug levels for a full day. Although metformin is an old drug with many generics and several extended-release formulations, DEPO has partnered Glumetza with Santarus (NASDAQ:SNTS), and expects to make $13-15 million in net profit off it this year.
But the real story with DEPO is its AcuForm version of gabapentin. Gabapentin was a blockbuster drug for Pfizer, sold under the brand name Neurontin. It is currently generic, dosed 3-4 times a day for the treatment of epilepsy, pain (especially neuropathic pain), and depression, and a once-a-day version from Xenoport (NASDAQ:XNPT) and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK) was recently approved for restless leg syndrome. Depomed's version, known as Gralise, was approved for postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in January. This should be a very profitable drug for Depomed.
Lyrica (pregabalin) is a second-generation molecule from Pfizer with the same mechanism as gabapentin, and it has almost 10 million prescriptions/year, generating $1.5 billion in revenue in the U.S. Generic gabapentin has roughly 29 million prescriptions per year. Gralise should compete very well in this market, as it has a more convenient dosing schedule, and significantly reduced side-effects compared to Lyrica and gabapentin. An obvious disadvantage is that Gralise is only approved for PHN, while Lyrica and gabapentin are approved for a handful of other indications. I argue that this is not a significant disadvantage. Lidoderm, a pain patch from Endo Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:ENDP), is also only approved for PHN, and it sold over $750 million in 2009. The majority of Lidoderm's prescriptions are off-label for other pain indications.
The best part is that Depomed owns 100% of the rights to Gralise. However, the story of how DEPO acquired all rights to Gralise caused some investor anxiety. Depomed partnered Gralise with the specialty pharmaceutical company Solvay in 2008, with a $25 million upfront payment, significant milestone payments, and 14-20% royalties included in the deal. Since then, Abbott (NYSE:ABT) bought Solvay, taking over the partnership contract with Depomed. After paying DEPO a $48 million milestone payment for the FDA approval of Gralise, ABT paid DEPO an additional $40 million to get out of the contract, returning all Gralise rights to Depomed. From one perspective this was a huge windfall for Depomed - it received $88 million plus complete ownership of Gralise instead of the modest royalties it was entitled to in the partnership. However, many investors seem taken a more pessimistic interpretation - Gralise must not have very good sales prospects if ABT was willing to pay to walk away from it.
I have two counterarguments to this pessimistic view. First, as I will argue later, Abbott and Depomed have very different definitions of "good sales prospects." A sales level that would be a miserable failure for Abbott ($120 million/year) would generate significant upside for DEPO. Also, Depomed has a second gabapentin-based drug called Serada, which, if approved might have significantly reduced the value of Gralise to Abbott. Serada is also an AcuForm version of gabapentin, but it is being developed as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for post-menopausal hot flashes. It is currently in phase III, and if approved, it would likely launch in early 2013. The problem for Abbott was that Serada would be the same drug as Gralise (gabapentin), with a similar formulation (600 mgs in the morning, 1200 mgs at night for Serada, vs. 1800 mgs at night for Gralise), but at a lower price. Off-label use of Serada for pain might have significantly hurt Abbott's Gralise sales, so they walked away rather than continue investing in it.
Now let's get to my scenarios and estimates. I don't assign any value to most of DEPO's partnerships in these estimates. These include AcuForm co-formulations of metformin with development-phase diabetes drugs with Janssen & Boehringer Ingelheim, and AcuForm co-formulations of acetaminophen and opiates (equivalent to twice-a-day formulations of Vicodin and Percocet) with Covidien (COV). These deals might eventually contribute modestly to profits, but only modestly and only in 2014 and later. I also don't assign any value to the ~$175 million in cash that Depomed currently has on the books (total liability are $64 million). I assume it will be used for the launch of Gralise.
I do include $20 million/year of net profits for their Janumet XR product with Merck, which is currently expecting an FDA decision in July 2011. This is a once-a-day formulation of Janumet (a combination of Merck's diabetes drug Januvia with metformin), which sold $954 million for Merck in 2010. Janumet's sales are still growing rapidly (up 41% from Q4 2009 to Q4 2010), and I expect Janumet XR to be approved and replace Janumet quickly. DEPO will receive "modest single digit royalties" on this product, so I'm estimating 2% on $1 billion.
In each of the scenarios, Depomed's ~$14 million (and growing) profit from Glumetza goes to cover SG&A for the company. (The remainder of their SG&A is just pre-profit selling expense for Glumetza that goes to Santarus.) I'm assuming that R&D expenses drop to $5 million/year once all late phase trials are completed. I subtract that $5 million from the $20 million/year Janumet XR profit to give a baseline $15 million of profit to each scenario.
For the worst-case scenario, I assume the following: Depomed never finds a partner for Gralise, and Serada is never approved. Depomed launches Gralise on their own in Q4 2011 (as is currently planned) with a sales force targeting pain specialists, neurologists and "thought leaders" in pain. In 2014 or 2015, they get up to a meager $120 million in sales (remember the comparators, $1.5 billion for Lyrica, and $763 million for Lidoderm). Subtract $25 million for cost of goods and $50 million for SG&A and you have $45 million of pre-tax profit. For this scenario only, I'm counting on DEPO's $168 million in tax loss carry forwards, so I'll make no allowances for taxes. With the $15 million baseline profit, we have a total of $60 million in profits. A 12X multiple on that gives DEPO a market cap of $720 million, or $13.30/share. That's a 57% gain from today's levels. I assign this scenario a 10% probability because I think Gralise is actually a very attractive drug and DEPO should have little trouble partnering it.
For the moderate scenario, I envision Depomed finding a mid-tier partner for primary care marketing of Gralise and that it reaches $400 million in sales. I'm modeling this as a joint-venture partnership, where costs are deducted and profits are shared 50-50. Assuming $80 million for cost of goods, and $120 million SG&A, the joint venture makes $200 million in profit, with $100 million going to DEPO. (If you prefer, you can get to the same number with $400 million in sales and DEPO earning a 25% royalty.) $100 million plus the $15 million from Janumet XR, minus $40 million for tax gives $75 million of earnings. A 12X multiple then gives DEPO a market cap of $900 million, or $16.70/share, a 97% gain from current levels.
For the best-case scenario, I need to give some more background on Serada and the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) market. In 2001, HRT was a $2+ billion dollar market and still growing. Then in 2003, a Women's Health Initiative study found that HRT increased the risk of blood clots, strokes and breast cancer. Since then, the HRT market has shrunk from over 90 million prescriptions per year to roughly 33 million, leaving few good treatment options for post-menopausal hot flash. Serada is among the most advanced non-hormonal treatments in development for this market, and showed good results in its first two phase III trials. The Serada section of this article gives a good explanation of the reasons DEPO's third phase III trial for Serada (called Breeze 3) is very likely to yield strong positive results. I am assigning an 85% probability that the trial results are favorable, and a 75% chance of FDA approval, assuming favorable results. These numbers are the basis for my 60% probability for the best case scenario of Serada approval.
In this best case scenario, I'm envisioning that Depomed has the same partner for Serada that they do for Gralise (this eliminates the conflict that arose with Abbott and Gralise). It is a joint venture once again, but with 60% of profits going to DEPO and 40% going to the partner. Combined sales of the two drugs are $800 million, minus $150 million for cost of goods and $150 million for SG&A leaves $500 million, with $300 million going to DEPO. Adding in the baseline $15 million, and subtracting $110 million for taxes leaves $205 million of profit. A 12X multiple gives DEPO a $2.46 billion market cap and a $45.50 share price, a 437% gain from current levels.
To recap the numbers: 10% chance of a 57% gain, 30% chance of 97% return and 60% of 437% profit. Feel free to adjust those estimates according to your best judgment.
For more information, there are several good articles on Seeking Alpha, but this webcast (with slides) is a great introduction to Depomed, its drugs, clinical trials and partnerships.

Product Characteristics And Arbitrage In The Australian And New Zealand Wool Markets
The physical characteristics of wool are important determinants of its spinning properties, yarn quality and end use. The degree to which wools from different countries of origin may be substituted has important implications for the domestic marketing policies of Australia and New Zealand. The hypothesis examined in this paper is that the differences in wool prices can be explained by differences in the physical characteristics of the wool and that objective measures of these characteristics allow for effective arbitrage between these markets. The alternative hypothesis is that premiums or discounts exist owing to country of origin. A hedonic price analysis was conducted on wool prices in Australia and New Zealand using a balanced sample of sale lot data from the 1986-87 selling season. In the year examined, there was no evidence of any price premiums associated with country of origin.

Content's role in marketing and in the overall operation and growth of a business is becoming increasingly important. From growing brand awareness to closing sales, content can accomplish a variety of important company goals, and this year, 85 percent of B2B marketers indicated that lead generation is their organization's top content marketing goal.
To effectively generate the amount of new business needed to meet this goal, marketers must look beyond creating and publishing content to only owned media. Content published to your company blog is great for nurturing leads, but it's not going to generate new ones on its own. Attracting and nurturing new leads means your marketing team needs to publish high-quality guest-contributed content to reputable online publications — and to do that, you have to understand the world of publication editors.
Understanding the Job of a Publication Editor
Don't confuse the value that guest-contributed content brings to your marketing strategy for a publication editor's responsibility or concern. Remember, it's not an editor's job to help your marketing team generate leads. Rather, editors are concerned with providing compelling, relevant, high-quality content that best serves their publications' unique readers, and they do this in a number of ways.
To meet their readers' needs, publication editors:
- Receive dozens of articles and pitches each day. Editors receive and review anywhere from five to 100+ articles and pitches every day. And if they're not receiving actual content, they're receiving countless follow-up emails that they have to sift through and prioritize.
- Write original content. In addition to receiving guest-contributed content, many publication editors write their own content. In fact, we work with the senior editor of TriplePundit, Mary Mazzoni, and she was recently in Paris reporting on the COP21.
- Manage other editorial staff members. To run such a tight ship, editors often rely on and manage other staff members who help them edit and review content. As if managing and publishing content alone wasn't enough, many editors are also leading diverse teams of writers and editors.
- Maintain comprehensive editorial calendars with tight deadlines. To organize and coordinate the volumes of content from guest contributors and internal staff writers and editors, publication editors must develop and stick to an editorial calendar with strict deadlines.
- Network and attend conferences. Much like your company's CEO travels during conference season and meets partners or clients at events, some publication editors are active networkers looking for opportunities to grow their publications and expand their networks of writers and editors.
Of course, factors like size and industry can affect what these tasks look like from day to day. But if you want to contribute content to online publications, you must understand the reality of publication editors' responsibilities and where your guest article fits into their priorities and content pipeline.
Common Misconceptions About Contributing to Online Publications
Our publication strategy team conducted an exclusive survey of more than 150 editors in our network, and even though they receive tons of emails every day with guest content and pitches for articles to their sites, 86 percent of editors reported that they planned to increase the amount of guest-contributed content they publish.
However, there are still right and wrong ways to contribute this guest content. Below are three common misconceptions marketing teams and leaders have about online publications and working with the editors who run them:
Misconception 1: More people know about and read big marquee publications, so I shouldn't waste my time with small niche publications.
Yes, publishing in marquee publications will likely attract a larger number of eyes to your content, and if you're looking to grow your audience and increase your lead generation efforts, then a publication that earns a high number of views probably sounds like the best option.
But you want the right eyes on your content, not just the most eyes. Publishing in niche publications can produce higher-quality leads than publishing in large marquee sites because niche publications have highly targeted readers who are loyal, engaged, and interested in the publication's content. Publishing to a site like that means you'll get your content in front of the kind of audience that's more likely to click through, interact with your content, and enter your sales funnel.
Misconception 2: To have the best chance of acceptance, I should send my article to every publication I'd like my content to be published in.
Don't "shop around" by sending the same article to several publications. This is an outdated model used for press releases and by freelance reporters — it has no place in today's guest-contributed content. In fact, it comes across as spammy and untrustworthy, which damages your relationship and actually hurts your chances of being accepted to publish in online publications.
Each publication is different, with unique readers, editorial guidelines, and submission processes. To increase your chances of acceptance, you have to create original, exclusive content with that publication, its guidelines, and its audience in mind.
Misconception 3: If an editor rejects my article, I'm entitled to receive feedback from him or her so I can improve and try again.
Even when you target niche publications with high-quality, original content, there's still a chance that an editor will reject your article. When that happens, most contributors believe that an editor should provide specific reasons why something is being turned down and offer feedback, and while that would be great in a perfect world, it's not the reality of online publications.
An editor's time is valuable — and very limited. He or she won't have the time to sit and write critical reviews of every piece of content that's submitted. Many times, an editor will simply review an article and determine whether it fits within the current content pipeline by looking at editorial calendars, what's in progress, what needs to publish first, and what should be published at a later date. Only very good pieces of content get what our team calls "post-submission edits," meaning an editor likes what he or she sees but isn't ready to accept the content as-is.
How to Build Mutually Beneficial Relationships With Editors
Now that you understand the roles and responsibilities of publication editors and the reality of guest-contributed content, you're on your way to building long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with editors at the online publications your team is targeting with high-quality guest content.
At Influence & Co., we have an entire team of publication strategists committed to building and maintaining relationships with editors at more than 900 online publications. Not only does this ensure our production team is creating the kind of high-quality content that meets each publication's unique guidelines, but it also streamlines the content creation, submission, and publication processes for everyone involved.
Successfully managing these relationships and landing the content written by our clients and internal thought leaders in the reputable online publications they're targeting requires significant time and careful effort. Here's how our dedicated team does it:
1. Maintain thoughtful, regular, and professional communication.
Relationships and communication with editors at more than 900 online publications can be tricky to maintain. Most of the communication is done via email, and to make the process easier and more convenient for everyone involved, we separate the publications by industry and assign specific industries to each member of our publication team. This way, each of the editors we work with only has one point of contact with the Influence & Co. team, which prevents overlap and miscommunication and makes it easier for a personal relationship to develop.
2. Stay knowledgeable and respectful of publication guidelines and editorial preferences.
Our publication strategists stay up-to-date on industry trends and the content that editors are publishing online to stay knowledgeable about what editors prefer to publish. Further, during our regular communication with editors, we gather detailed information about their publishing guidelines, unique audiences, editorial preferences, submission policies, and more, and we store this information in our custom content software so we can give our production and account services teams the tools they need to craft high-quality content that editors actually want to receive.
3. Do as much work for the editor ahead of time as possible.
By maintaining communication and staying aware of publication preferences, our team can lift some of the burden off of editors and make receiving, reviewing, and publishing guest-contributed content easier and more enjoyable. Not only do editors know who we are when we reach out, but because we collect, organize, and actually use their preferred guidelines during our content creation processes, they can also expect the highest-quality content — whether it's a pitch or an original, targeted article with social media links and a high-res headshot — when they open their email. Above all, the publication team at Influence & Co. is here to be editors' preferred content partner — and this makes editors' jobs much easier.
By thoroughly understanding the responsibilities of publication editors and the guest-contributed content process as a whole, we help editors and thought leaders share high-quality content with their audiences. That's good news for everyone involved — from the marketers trying to improve lead generation to the editors looking to publish original guest content to the actual readers looking for information and opportunities to engage. And by understanding the world of online publications, you can contribute, too.

Bed of sandcrystal,
warm, in north stream,
the demi-goddess,
Blue Crystalline.
paling boys,
in her eddies,
The Courtesan,
submerging pennies.
Breathless blue hair,
water up to thighs,
fine powder skin,
makes pins of eyes.
Such bliss,
such cold clime,
no coat,
in winter time.
hushes you on,
to sandy shoal,
her island,
cindering blue coal.
river bed turns brown,
swim out of fear,
gurgling lows of pain,
but returns her chandelier
water level caresses,
down to knees,
reaching nympth,
hot bath in winter breeze.
corsette of diamonds,
sparkles in night air,
middle of river--
isolation--her lair.
unalone now, warm,
your arms she is wrapt,
go to kiss her,
only gives neck and back.
try to turn her chin
to give kiss,
but snowflakes,,
melt with fingertips.
island diminishing,
grip her tight,
nymph in arms,
sliver of moon-light.
dissolving island,
is blue hour-glass,
cold forest speaks,
"son come back"
you huddle to the,
last cinder that's dry,
she is reflection now,
inviting you inside.
a look back to forest,
is a look up as if--
you were descending,
fathoms to an ice cold abyss.
sky and forest are gone,
veil and hearse have met,
family frames twinkle,
down to you in her depth.
such bliss,
in such cold clime,
no coat,
in winter time.

Local gallery, custom framing store celebrates 34 years in SL
As a downtown Storm Lake gallery and custom framing store celebrates its 34th year of business, its owner has taken time to reflect on present and past artwork and framing trends.
"We're selling more decorator pieces," Frame'n Art Shoppe Owner Terri Haakinson said.
Compared to traditional prints, decorator pieces are not limited and are typically less expensive.
Brightly-colored gallery-wrapped canvas prints are a newer trend, and are available in various sizes. Subjects range from nature scenes to animals.
"They are becoming more popular and are more reasonably priced than traditional prints," Haakinson explained.
For customers seeking more traditional artwork, Frame'n Art offers popular American artist Terry Redlin's outdoor and wildlife prints in addition to photos shot by Storm Lake photographer Hugh Perry.
Custom framing remains a major portion of Haakinson's business, but over the years, style has transitioned from molding, oak and hardwoods to jet black.
With gray a vogue choice for home interiors, black frames coupled with mirrors or vibrant artwork can provide contrast or a pop of color.
Consultations are available for individuals requesting custom matting or framing services. Haakinson will review colors, molding, mattes, where the artwork will be hung in a home and how it coordinates with the rest of the room.
"I want to get an idea of what they have in their mind," she said.
Conservation-grade matting is available to protect items from fading, yellowing and damage.
In past years, Haakinson has seen some unique pieces come in for framing.
While special orders for photo collages, athletic jerseys and shadow boxes for high school memorabilia or wedding keepsakes are most common, Haakinson once framed a petite woman's wedding dress at its full length in a five foot tall frame and an antique feather fan reportedly once used by Mary Todd Lincoln.

HTC ONE with Sprint
My phone stopped working. The screen wouldn't come on when I got calls and such. Now if I charge it, it just turns on to the HTC screen and shuts off repeatedly. I need to get my photos off of it and didn't back them up. Are they gone forever?

Premelting is the localized loss of crystalline order at surfaces and defects at temperatures below the bulk melting transition. It can be thought of as the nucleation of the melting process. Premelting has been observed at the surfaces of crystals but not within. We report observations of premelting at grain boundaries and dislocations within bulk colloidal crystals using real-time video microscopy. The crystals are equilibrium close-packed, three-dimensional colloidal structures made from thermally responsive microgel spheres. Particle tracking reveals increased disorder in crystalline regions bordering defects, the amount of which depends on the type of defect, distance from the defect, and particle volume fraction. Our observations suggest that interfacial free energy is the crucial parameter for premelting in colloidal and atomic-scale crystals.

News Releases
PG&E Statement Regarding CPUC Order December 16, 2010 ("Safety Response to the National Transportation Safety Board Advisory of December 14, 2010")
Release Date: December 16, 2010
Contact: PG&E External Communications (415) 973-5930
SAN FRANCISCO, CA-The National Transportation Safety Board this week ruled out several possible causes of the San Bruno gas pipeline rupture and explosion, but stressed that the investigation is still in an early phase and a great deal of work remains before a cause can be determined.
Nevertheless, the report did note a variance in some of the pipe welds near where the rupture occurred. As a precautionary measure, the California Public Utilities Commission today asked PG&E to lower pressure on pipelines that are similar in vintage and size to the one that ruptured in September and that have not been hydrostatically pressure tested.
Two gas transmission pipelines in PG&E's system meet the CPUC's criteria: Line 153, which runs from Oakland to Fremont, and Line 131, from Fremont to Milpitas.
Kirk Johnson, PG&E Vice President, Gas Engineering & Operations, explained:
Safety is our number one priority. As part of our commitment to reassuring our customers, PG&E has been examining other pipelines of similar size and vintage to the segments in San Bruno to determine whether pressure could be reduced without impacting our customers. Based on that analysis, we reduced pressure on Line 153 last week to 90 percent late Friday, December 10th. Further analysis shows that we can comply with the CPUC's directive to reduce pressure on Lines 131 and 153 to 80 percent while continuing to reliably serve our customers. We will begin taking steps to reduce pressure immediately.

The Federal Reserve battled the financial crisis partially by purchasing mortgage debt. Investors are starting to get concerned about what will happen when the Fed ends the program. "Many investors treat the three asset classes that the Fed has been buying -- Treasuries, agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities -- as very similar," said Ajay Rajadhyaksha, Barclays Capital's head of U.S. fixed-income strategy. "The effectiveness of the Fed's strategy to exit from its purchase program will play a huge role in determining the interest rate environment for the markets next year."

Gun stolen in 1990, found in Sheridan
SHERIDAN— A handgun reported stolen in Hardin, Mont., more than two decades ago turned up in a Sheridan pawn shop last week. Though it's unlikely the thief will ever be found, the gun will be returned to its rightful owner.
Sheridan Police Department Capt. Scott Chandler said the gun was flagged during a routine inspection of items with serial numbers that had been turned in at the Pawn Broker and Repo Depot on North Main Street.
"When pawn shops take those in, they tell us about the transaction," Chandler said. "We pick those pawn slips up once a month and run the serial numbers for firearms — or anything with a serial number, for that matter — and compare it against the database."
The FBI's National Crime Information Center maintains a list of stolen items the Sheridan Police can use to cross-reference any potentially suspicious items or routine transactions. Chandler said the SPD makes a habit of cross-checking pawned items with the list to avoid making stolen property become an easy paycheck for a criminal.
"A lot of people don't know we check those slips every month," Chandler said. "We recover stolen items every year."
In this case, though, the person who pawned the .357 Smith & Wesson revolver wasn't the one who took it. Rather, it was found three or four years ago in a dump site near Arvada. The hand grip needed replaced and it was missing its cylinder.
"It was just lying out there, deteriorated," Chandler said, adding it was found along with a box of camera lenses that were also likely stolen years ago.
Chandler said police contacted the pawner, who relayed the story and said the gun had been restored at Little John's Gun Center here. Little John's verified the story.
The weapon was reported stolen Dec. 26, 1990. Chandler said last week the SPD contacted the Big Horn County Sheriff, who initially entered the weapons into the database, and informed them they had a cold hit.
If authorities in Montana are able to locate the owner, the gun will be returned, and the finder of the weapon will have lost the investment of its repair.

This is the circuit design of Smart Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) 12V Battery Charger featuretwith Current Limiting. The charger uses a two step process for charging SLA batteries – a current limited 'fast' mode followed by a constant voltage 'float' mode. Maximum charging current is 1A.
An onboard LED indicates when the charger is in 'fast' mode. When the LED goes out the battery is charged and the charger has switched to 'float' mode.

Recent reviews
2.8 /5 from 105 reviews
Rooms are clean, but very Spartan. Paint was peeling in the bathroom. Service was great, but property condition was lacking. Also, hotel is located in an industrial area of town. OK for quick overnight, but do not expect any comforts.
I liked the Campaniles but no food was available. Said had to go downtown. No service in the evening. Was disappointed as we drove a long way.
we stayed here because of visiting Valensole Lavender field. The location is good and room rate is reasonable. However, there is no air conditioning in the room, though it is cool at night, but the ventilation is not good during our stay.
Very ordinary hotel. The only hotel on a European holiday that we truly could not wait to get out off. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the staff were friendly.
Staff very helpful, location near supermarket in industrial area a bit hard to find at first. Our top floor room was hot (no air-con) but attached restaurant served great food & included breakfast. Overall good value, ask for ground floor if it's hot weather.

Every year for the last four or five years, I've found that I may not like every single Simpsons' episode, but that I must watch the annual Simpsons' "Treehouse of Horror" Halloween episode. This year was no different!
For those of you not familiar with The Simpsons' brand of crazy, the show is an animated series that began as a series of shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show in the late 1980s and received the green light for a half hour primetime animated series to start in 1989. Created by Matt Groenig, it provides a twisted parody on family life in the United States. Now in its 20th season, the show continues to provide hilarity, absurdity, and weirdness on the FOX Broadcasting Network's Sunday night lineup.
The family in question exists as follows:
Homer Simpson, the father of this fun, yet dysfunctional family, works at the Springfield nuclear power plant. If there's something stupid to be done, Homer's your man. He does stupid proud!
Marge Simpson, Homer's wife, loves Homer dearly, and does the best she can to manage their three kids as a stay at home mom. With her towering blue hairdo, she is the apple of Homer's eye and he always comes home begging for forgiveness.
Bart Simpson is the oldest of the three Simpson children. The troublemaker of the group, he's always playing pranks, skipping school, or otherwise causing mischief.
Lisa Simpson is the good child of the group, which always puts her at odds with her brother Bart. She plays saxophone in the school band, always does her homework, and does her best to help the world around her.
And lastly, there's Maggie Simpson, the baby of the group. She can be found with her pacifier in her mouth nearly all the time. She's just as smart as her sister Lisa I think, but keeps quiet about it.
In addition, there are all the various other characters that make up the Simpsons universe. Grandpa Simpson, Homer's dad, is good natured but always forgetting something. Santa's Little Helper is the Simpson dog and Snowball II is their cat. There are, of course for such a long running show, many, many other characters in Springfield that interact with the Simpson family.
This year's "Treehouse of Horror XIX" episode begins, aptly enough, with a segment lampooning electronic voting and the 2008 presidential election. Though the Republican and Democratic candidates are represented with streamers, posters, and park benches, my favorite part was Grandpa Simpson's sign stating "I Still Like IKE!"
In the voting segment, Homer, in traditional Homer style, goes to vote and, as he is a little overweight, can't fit into a traditional booth. He's then told to use the "double-wide" by the voting officials. There he finds trouble with the electronic voting machine and when he complains… well, let's just say he meets a bad end. Actually, I think he dies in most of this episode's segments, funnily enough.
The second segment was a riff on the Transformers movie from Michael Bay. Even the titles were transforming, they went from "Morf Transers" to "Trans-morfers" to "Snort Farmers" to finally settle on "Untitled Robot Parody." Bart is doing his Christmas shopping as the segment starts, and we all know that when Bart shops for Lisa (Christmas-gift or otherwise) it typically ends poorly. This trip is no different.
As his gift, Bart brings home a little pink car for Lisa that eventually transforms into a robot on a mission. This little pink robot turns other things (a lamp, an alarm clock, a boom box, and a sex toy) into Transformers and the invasion begins!
Homer and the rest of Springfield are enslaved by the robots, big and small, when the robots put aside their differences and join forces. By the end of the bit, the robots are playing foosball with the citizens of Springfield strapped to a giant foosball table. (I'd like to see Michael Bay have the Transformers play foosball in the next movie as a gag!)
The opening sequence for "How to Get Ahead in Dead-vertising" is a parody of the opening sequence for Mad Men, but I have to say it also made me think of all the cool James Bond movie opening sequences from over the years (Quantum of Solace comes out in two weeks). This segment focuses on a group of advertising executives finding a loophole they want to exploit in paying talent. For years they'd been pursuing live celebrities to hawk their wares, but had to get their permission, but they don't need a dead celebrity's permission.
When Homer accidentally kills Krusty the Clown (after Krusty makes Maggie cry) at Crazy Ethel's Daycare Center ("Where your child learns to trust strangers") by tossing him into a wood chipper (doesn't every daycare have a wood chipper in the play area?), the ad executives consider using Homer as an assassin for hire. Who knew Homer would make a good celebrity assassin!? Homer is then paid to kill a number of celebs, including: George Clooney, Prince, and Neil Armstrong (all set to the Talking Heads' "Psycho Killer" song, which had me in stitches).
This of course gets all the dead celebs in heaven riled up (who knew Heaven had a "Celebrity" wing?) and they get a posse together to take care of the man who put them there (poor Homer). By the end of the segment, Homer (now dead and in heaven), locks the pearly gates so the celebs can't get back in! Only in The Simpsons can you see that kind of weird justice!
But the coup de grace in the episode was the parody of the classic Charlie Brown Halloween special – It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! If you remember the Charlie Brown special, it's about Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin (who is like Santa Claus) all alone in the pumpkin patch while all his friends go to the Halloween dance and have a great time.
In The Simpsons' version, Milhouse believes in the Grand Pumpkin so much that the pumpkin comes to life on Halloween in the pumpkin patch. Milhouse, seeing the Grand Pumpkin, offers him a loaf of pumpkin bread. The Grand Pumpkin, thinking that it was a nice gift, asks what it was made of (pumpkin of course), the Grand Pumpkin goes insane and starts eating people. Homer, carving a set of pumpkins for Halloween, is of course one of those who gets munched.
To stop the Grand Pumpkin, Lisa asks Milhouse to imagine Tom the Turkey. And, much to everyone's surprise, Tom the Turkey comes to life and finishes off the Grand Pumpkin with a blast from his blunderbuss. To celebrate, Milhouse offers Tom the chance to carve the turkey at Thanksgiving… and that starts another round of running and screaming.
This section of the show has it all… all the crazy Simpsons characters, lots of blood, and the classic Charlie Brown trombone sound which that series used as the voice of adults. And the moral of the story? You choose… don't feed the Grand Pumpkin a loaf of pumpkin bread or don't offer Tom the Turkey the chance to carve the turkey at the Thanksgiving feast!
When the dancing began at the school Halloween party, I knew the Charlie Brown parody was complete. Where else would you see the classic Simpsons' aliens dancing with the rest of the gang?
Once again, Groenig and company has outdone themselves on their Halloween episode. It might not have been as "out there" as some of their previous "Treehouse" episodes, but "Treehouse of Horror XIX" is definitely worth catching if you're a Simpsons' fan!Powered by Sidelines

Sharp pains peirce the heart
crumble and cry in the dark
Organs start to fill up with blood
tears begin to form a flood.
Body starts to tingle and freeze
you can no longer move or breathe
Eyes close at a leisurely pace;
panic and fright are gone
your heart will no longer race.

Good though for early effort

Billy Joel adds to NYC residency, Celtic Thunder unleashes North American run
Billy Joel has tacked a December date onto his uber-successful residency at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
The Piano Man will take to the stage Dec. 17, marking his 36th residency performance. Last year's July concert put Joel ahead of Elton John for the record of most shows performed by a single artist at the iconic venue.
International stars Celtic Thunder will bring a new show entitled "Legacy" to venues around the world.
The new show will celebrate Irish and Celtic music in 77 cities across North America. The domestic road work begins Aug. 19 in Red Bank, NJ, and continues through a Dec. 4 show in Bemidji, Manitoba.
Celtic Thunder features five male vocalists backed by the eight-piece Celtic Thunder band. The ensemble and solo performances will highlight the diversity of Irish music and song.

Did a Jewish Actor Come Between Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony?
Is a Cuban-Jewish actor responsible for breaking up Jennifer Lopez's marriage?
That's just one of the rumors swirling around William Levy, a Cuban-born telenovela star currently making a splash in the U.S. as the featured male beefcake in "I'm Into You," J.Lo's latest music video (see below).
Speculation about a marriage-ending affair with J.Lo last week inspired Levy to release a statement denying any romantic connection with the singer/actress/producer/entrepreneur/"American Idol" judge, who earlier this month announced the end of her seven-year marriage to singer Marc Anthony.
"My relationship with Jennifer has been strictly professional," Levy wrote. "These alleged rumors suggesting something more personal are 100% false and inaccurate. My best wishes go out to their family."
The star of Spanish-language soap operas including "El Triunfo del Amor," Levy was born in Cuba and raised both there and in the U.S. He told Mexican website OEM that his Jewish grandfather married his non-Jewish grandmother, but that he doesn't "practice the religion much" because it isn't observed in Cuba.
The J.Lo rumors aren't Levy's only public relations challenge at the moment. The actor was sued last year for allegedly having sexual contact with a minor, who filed a $2.5 million lawsuit against him.
