If you have issues with someone and want to sue, you will need a litigation lawyer. Litigation lawyers handle the litigation process and understand all of the ins and outs of the courtroom. A litigation lawyer can also help you decide whether your case is appropriate for a lawsuit, or if it might be better handled through the mediation or arbitration process. The litigation lawyer will research the facts that caused the dispute, and analyze them to identify the appropriate law and how it applies. After this preliminary review, the litigation lawyer gives you an analysis of your rights and an estimate of your ability to be successful in court. The litigation lawyer will know the information you need to present in court as well as the process, procedures, and deadlines you must meet to keep your lawsuit on track.

Most Researched Cars of the Week: March 31 – April 6
Honda's hold on the mid-sized sedan market – the Accord – made it into this week's list of the most researched new cars on AutoGuide.com, but only second place.
Instead, the stylish Ford Fusion came in at number one, and why not? The versatile car can come as a gasoline, hybrid or even plug-in hybrid all while offering drivers a fresh look Honda doesn't compete with.
Kia's compact Forte came in third, followed by the Chevrolet Sonic sub-compact. The Sonic was Chevrolet's smallest North American product until this year when the even smaller Spark stole that title.
Finally, the Ford Mustang came in fifth as it quickly approaches its next generation. With big changes on tap, the next Mustang will finally lose its solid rear axle and gain a turbocharged four cylinder engine as an option – sullying the muscle car's spirit in some minds and refining it in others.

Warc, the marketing intelligence service, expects global advertising spend (based on 12 major markets) to increase +4.8 per cent at current prices in 2012, according to its latest International Ad Forecast.
This increase masks the underlying caution of marketers due to considerable economic uncertainty, and can be largely attributed to predicted growth in the US market (+4.1 per cent), which will be inflated by the quadrennial effect from extra political and Olympic spend.
Of the 12 markets covered by the forecast, the emerging markets are expected to record the strongest growth in 2012. China is predicted to increase expenditure by +15.5 per cent, followed by Russia (+14.0 per cent), India (+9.3 per cent) and Brazil (+8.9 per cent).
But the BRIC nations are showing signs of weakness in the current economic climate. If we take forecast inflation into account, China and Russia maintain their positions as the two fastest-growing markets, but Brazil, in third, sees its projected growth fall to +3.4 per cent, while India's growth in real terms drops to just +1.1 per cent. Only the European countries are forecast to achieve lower growth than this. Across all 12 markets, ad spend is expected to increase +2.1 per cent in real terms in 2012.
Suzy Young, Data Editor Warc, said, "The outlook for advertising spend is fairly positive, considering the economic turmoil in the eurozone and fears that the BRIC economies are stalling. Quadrennial factors are currently providing the lift for 2012 but should the global economy experience another shock, advertising spend may plummet."
Advertising spend is predicted to record a slightly higher growth rate of +5.2 per cent in 2013 compared with 2012, equivalent to +2.5 per cent growth after accounting for inflation. These latest forecasts assume modest global economic growth for 2012, improving in 2013, with no major external shocks, such as a breakup of the eurozone.

The Dallas Cowboys floundered in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks leaving many fantasy owners disgruntled and even a bit confused. Dez Bryant and Jason Witten had shaky hands, the ground game was ineffective and Tony Romo wasn't in sync all night long.
Don't worry, fantasy owners should expect a huge turnaround in Week 3 when Dallas takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The first two weeks of any fantasy football season is always a roller coaster ride. Players are hot one minute then cold the next, training camp standouts fall into regression, teams lose games they're "supposed to" win and injuries come out of nowhere.
Sound familiar?
Well the only real counter to the aforementioned is to stick to your guns and take advantage of the proper matchups like the Dallas Cowboys versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Dez Bryant in particular should finally provide fantasy owners with much more than he has thus far, as he faces a Buccaneers secondary that surrendered 500+ yards to the New York Giants, but don't forget about Miles Austin either.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rank number one in fantasy points allowed by receivers, so it doesn't get much better than that.
RB DeMarco Murray will face a Tampa team that ranks dead last against the run making him a tasty start as well.
On the Tampa side of the ball, I believe RB Doug Martin and WR Mike Williams will be risky plays this week while Vince Jackson is sure to have another nice day—just don't expect him to do what he did to the injury depleted Giants secondary in Week 2.

In metropolitan Detroit, we reject hate and fear
The Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit has launched a petition drive in response to a potential threat to religious liberty rumored for our region later this month.
An extremist group has announced plans to demonstrate in Dearborn on April 22.
"We are asking people to sign on to 'A Simple Affirmation for our Community' as a way to indicate their rejection of fear-mongering and intolerance," according to Rev. Daniel Buttry, a minister with the American Baptist Churches and a board member of the Interfaith Leadership Council.
- Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit
We, as caring neighbors in southeastern Michigan, stand together in condemning the actions of those who spew hate and fear, and who misuse and desecrate holy books of faith. Instead we call on people to carry out the best traditions of all religious faiths, embodied in the idea of doing to others as we would have them do to us.
In the spirit of cooperation and harmony, the essential basis of this great country, we affirm our support for religious freedom and civil discourse. We stand together strong in our vision of the beloved community where all are respected and treasured.
Interfaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit started this petition with a single signature, and now has 1,046 supporters. Start a petition today to change something you care about.

Often, people usually talk about the first 100 days of a president's achievements in office. In many countries, it has now become a standard yardstick to gauge the effectiveness of the president in getting his or her new policies passed. It is indeed an indicator of the performance of the presidency. The first 100 days is so important in a democratic system of government. It is a period that welcomes the new change as everybody is in the mood of accepting new ideas, programs and policies that will move the country forward. There is hardly any serious opposition to the new President's policies during this period. The period is usually regarded as that of grace or honeymoon. Smart presidents usually capitalize on this period to get their policies pass into laws. A good example is in the US, President Obama got his affordable health care passed into law during this period; now popularly known as –Obamacare.
The President usually enjoys the goodwill and support of the general populace during this period. Usually this is the best time, in fact the most conducive of any presidency to push their agendas through with minimal opposition. The underlying truth is that presidents tend to be most effective when they first take office, when their leadership style seems fresh and new, when the wind of change fills the air and aura of victory looms large and when their impact on Congress is usually at its best. If the new president misses this grace period, he finds it difficult to regain it and get his agendas passed through. This is because after this the grace period of 100 days or so has passed, it thus start to wane; every one of his new policies will now go through intense scrutiny and assessed through various lenses— partisan, tribal, religious, personal gains, sub and regional dominance and in the case of Nigeria, hardly national.
The 100day yardstick was established by Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States in 1933. According to analysts, while it is not a perfect measure, it is viewed as a useful standard for gauging presidential effectiveness and success. According to some presidential historians, there is nothing spectacular about the number, and many presidential aides over the years have complained that it is an arbitrary yardstick. However, it has been used as a barometer by the presidential historians, the public, the media, and researchers as a gauge of presidential success in office.
When Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) was sworn in as the president on March 3, 1933, the US was faced with the catastrophic state of depression. In addition, there was mass unemployment. The unemployment rate stood at about 25 percent. There was also the problem of inflation, bank failures and widespread loss of confidence. Banks were shutting down. Account holders were losing their life's savings. Businesses were running out of enough cash to keep going. FDR had no choice but to address the problem head on. FDR said in his inaugural speech March 4: "This nation asks for action, and action now. Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. I am prepared under my constitutional duty to recommend the measures that a stricken nation in the midst of a stricken world may require." Kenneth T. Walsh Contributor Feb. 12, 2009,
During this period, FDR began experimentation of different methods to curb the Depression; mass unemployment and if they failed, he tried something else. Eventually, his strategies worked! His success in winning congressional approval became the model for future presidents in dealing with Congress during the first 100 days in office.
President Buhari may not be The FDR: The problems he currently faces in Nigeria are similar to what President Franklin D Roosevelt faced when he took office in 1934. Presently in Nigeria today, there is a high rate of unemployment, massive inflation, acute non-payment of salaries, and starkly lack of both local and foreign cash flow. There is no regular Power supply, Portable water, Security and Standard road network in other words, basic amenities.
Many people have started to wonder whether the current democratic process can really be operated effectively by this president with a military background and save the nation from the brink.
Unlike FDR's 100Days, President Buhari has a much longer grace period of one year to address Nigeria's teething problems. It is unimaginable for a worker or family to be without a monthly salary for six months. This is a serious egregious problem that needs to be addressed urgently. The implication of non-payment of salaries makes it impossible for people to afford reasonable basic needs for their upkeep, welfare and health care. In addition to this, is the massive unemployment and lay-offs. These problems need to be nipped in the bud before they get out of control. IF these problems are not address urgently, the nation will witness a number of untimely deaths, gradual erosion of the middle class and distrust of this government that was once much awaited for as the new hope.
In order to restore public confidence, transparency and fair play to everybody, let the President, Governors, Senators, Congressmen, Local chairmen and all Civil servants be on the same salary pay schedule. It is then that they will honestly be able to carry everybody along the burden of government civil service. The current situation that puts elected official on a different salary pay scale and schedule from civil servant is nothing short of double standard or oppression at the least. The democratic system we practice today finds expression in the political satire of George Orwell's Animal Farm: "All animals are equal, but some are more equal." We have to live up to the ideals of our National Anthem—"-a Nation where no man is oppressed."-1960, and "a Nation where peace and justice shall reign"-1978.
We all know that President Buhari did not create all these problems. It is a lot of sacrifice for him at this stage of his life and instead of staying with his beautiful family, chose to once more try to lead this country aright. However, one cannot but wonders how a career military officer with military background that once ruled this country with draconian decrees-(absolute powers) is now at the helms, navigating the intrigues of democracy with Senators and Congressmen some of who were still in their diapers when he first came to office, December 31st, 1983.
Nigeria became an oil producing nation in 1957, and later becoming world's sixth largest producer of oil and natural gas. Nigeria benefited most during the Gulf war of the 1990s. Despites the huge amount realized during this period there is nothing to show for it in terms of infrastructural developments to transform Nigeria into a modern society with basic amenities such as first class road network, good running water, electricity and health care for all.
It is noteworthy to mention here that, nearly all our leaders have at one time or the other visited the Western World. While there, they enjoyed the plush comfort of all the basic amenities -good roads, water, electricity and health care. It is troubling to note that it did not seem to occur to any of them to replicate these basic amenities in Nigeria with the exceptions of Awo in the West and Yakubu Gowon who started to modernize Nigeria in the 70s by building modern road networks, rural electrifications for areas that were not connected to the national grid and gave salary increase with perks that engendered new lease of life and better working conditions for workers. He managed the economy that trickled down to everybody; nearly all hospitals, schools and universities were running smoothly. Jobs were readily available for graduates of all cadres. As a youngman growing in Nigeria at this period, one was filled with hopes and optimism; it seemed Nigeria was the best country on the planet. There was no need to go abroad except on visits. Looking back to how little we have achieved and all that we have gone through over the years, it will not be an overstatement to say that Gowon should have been left in office for another forty years. It is often said in some advanced countries, that their better days lie ahead or in the future, but in Nigeria, sadly, our better days were behind us or in the past.
President Buhari, you got this job again for over a year now, there is no time to waste. The problems are enormous and mounting. Among many of these daunting problems- two of them stand out that need urgent attention now, massive unemployment and nonpayment of salaries. Confronted with similar situation in 1934, FDR said in his inaugural speech March 4, that "his task is to put people to work." In order for the President Buhari to address these problems of mass unemployment and nonpayment of salaries head on, he needs to embark on Nation building, first and urgently, by building road network across the nation NOW.
From history, nearly all advanced nations of the world first started by investing in road building. They embarked on road building for the primary purpose of addressing the issues of acute mass unemployment, economy and nation building. The end product of their actions paid off as they were able to put many people to work and stabilized their economies. They developed superb road network infrastructure that are regularly maintained across their entire nations. Road building started in the ancient Rome, and the modern history shows the Germans built their Super-highways–autobahns in the 1930s. The Americans under General Dwight D. Eisenhower was captivated with the German highway system which influenced him to embark on massive construction of the interstates highways in the United States. We have seen how new developing nations and emerging economies have also started by investing on building roads.
This is an opportunity for President Buhari now to start on nation building by constructing modern highways. Start by constructing new and dualizing (dual carriage ways) all trunks A and B roads across the nation. This is a shovel-ready project that will instantly put people to work. Employ credible indigenous and foreign road construction companies that will construct modern road networks with Rest areas. These will provide instant employment for millions of young and able-bodied across the nation.
The benefit of road construction cannot be over emphasized as it will bring jobs to every corner and nook of Nigeria instantly. Consider that nearly all road contracting firms pay their worker weekly or by weekly. It will instantly jump-start the current stagnant economy by putting money into peoples' pockets. Road construction provides both direct and indirect employments.
Road construction provides direct employment for highway construction professionals such as road firm employees – road engineers, designers, tractor operators, managers, accountants, clerks, specialists, drivers, quality controllers, skilled, and unskilled laborers, etc. The local area for the road construction usually provides the catchment zone for the unskilled laborers thereby ensuring job opportunities for the locals.
Road construction also provides indirect employments also. These include supply of materials for the roads such as cement, sand, asphalt, bitumen, quarry, iron rods and metals fabrication industries. There will be supply contractors for the road materials and equipment. Also importantly, are the local foods and water supply industries-from the local farmers to the food Canteens and fast foods for workers.
Also most importantly is the maintenance Department. The maintenance culture is what Nigerians need to cultivate both individually and institutionally. As individual needs to maintain their houses so also is the government. The road maintenance Department will provide jobs for hundreds of thousands on permanent basis for the new highway network. This will replace the mundane Public Work Department- PWD.
In general, workers in this road construction will subsequently spend and invest their earnings in the immediate local communities thereby generating economic activities across the geographical areas, which will have ripple effects on state, and national economies. It will also provide thousands of road construction related incomes and jobs such as housing and transportation. It will also create a large number of new roadside related businesses.
The implication of this is that it will relief both Federal, State and Local governments from the acute stress of youth unemployment by providing jobs. Can you imagine a youngman who played by the rule and upon graduation from university has no job? The situation is both frustrating to the young man as well as the parents who have invested so much into his education. We must realize that a hungry man is an angry man, a jobless angel can be turned into an unwilling devil; without addressing this problem urgently is as if we are sitting on a keg of dynamite.
Gainful employment will curb spate of robberies and other nefarious activities that exist as a result of unemployment. Providing jobs will restore a sense of purpose and wellbeing to individuals. Earnings from the road construction will jump start the economy, improve standard of living and quality of life for all in a number of dimensions that are not readily addressed in this article. Road construction will generate the revenues that will stabilize the economy that will form the bedrock upon which other government programs will be built such as agriculture and mining all of which need good solid road for transportation.
For President Buhari, there is a discernable pattern of governance and achievements between the way he governs now and the first time he came to office between 1983 –85 which was characterized with Probes- money laundering, War Against Indiscipline and loss of jobs due to downsizing in other words Lean and Mean Workforce. While the intents may be altruistic and noble at both times, the middle class is being crushed economically due to lack of employment, loss of jobs, and in many cases non-payment of salaries. It presents a state of sacrifice with a hope of a better morrow which many may not even live up to reap the dividends.
It is time to change the strategy by doing something new and bold that will assuage the plight of workers and the middle class. The middle level will benefit immensely by investing on road building head on. Mr. President, probes alone will not cut it; the ordinary man is neither directly affected by probes nor money laundering, all he needs is job and he needs it now.
President Buhari, if this is what you can achieve in your first term of your second coming in office, people that voted for you will not be disappointed as it will be regarded as substantial investment in nation building and also an observable project that will go a long way to justify your second coming. It is the easiest and most achievable nationwide project while other challenging projects such as regular Power and Water supply, may follow later.
Failure to embark on Nationwide Road Construction will be another missed opportunity that will be catastrophic and regrettable.

And with all the creativity, curiosity, passion and talent that is around, it's not surprising that Portland is often at the forefront of trends in the cocktail world.

Oregon employers are shouldered with a whole host of new regulations placed on them by government now that 2016 has arrived. Our goal is to take a deeper dive into these regulations to make sure that you are adequately prepared for these laws.
Over the course of the past few months, ORLA has held regional meetings throughout the state regarding developments to increase the statewide lodging tax. On its surface, any tax increase sounds like a tough sell – maybe even a claim by government that they know how to spend our money better than we do.
The pressure is mounting – citizens for an increased minimum wage are calling for action in Oregon with some business groups based in the Portland area discussing a deal to increase the rate to $12 or more statewide.
Hands-on experience is undeniably important to developing an employee's skills. But formal training is equally important. In fact, more than half of restaurant operators plan to devote more resources to employee training this year, according to the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Industry Forecast.

Lagos (AFP) May 16, 2014
Culture clashes and concerns over sovereignty will undermine efforts by foreign experts to help Nigeria's military find the schoolgirls held hostage by Boko Haram but cooperation can work, experts said on Friday.
US military experts have been in Nigeria for less than a week and the Pentagon has already acknowledged strains in the partnership.
"Nigeria can be an extremely challenging partner to work with," Defence Department Principal Director for African Affairs Alice Friend said, adding that Nigeria had been "slow to adapt with new strategies and new tactics" against the Islamist extremists.
The April 14 abduction in Chibok in northeastern Borno state has drawn worldwide condemnation, with Britain, Canada, China, France, Israel, as well the United States supporting the rescue mission.
For Jonathan Hill, professor at the Defence Studies Department at King's College London, dismissing Nigeria as a troublesome partner unwilling to take advice is an over-simplification.
"The Nigerians have shown themselves quite willing to cooperate," he said, noting the country's largely praised role in multi-national African peacekeeping forces.
"But," he added, for the Western advisors "the obstacles are really quite substantial."
- 'Oga' mentality -
Much of Nigeria's top brass have trained abroad, including in the United States and Britain, and are well aware of how the world's most professional militaries operate, added Hill, who has worked with British forces in helping to train Nigerian officers.
"The problem we have had is the 'Oga' mentality," he said, referring to a Nigerian term for a powerful boss.
Senior officers are "Ogas within the armed forces and Ogas outside the armed forces", which can create chain-of-command problems, especially when junior officers need to make fast decisions independently.
Nigeria has said the girls are likely being held in or near the vast Sambisa Forest in Borno, a remote region with poor communication infrastructure where Boko Haram has established camps.
US manned surveillance aircraft and unmanned drones are being flown over the area, but the on-ground search in troubled area is being left to Nigerian squads.
There have been multiple reports of soldiers in the northeast lacking basic communication equipment, including radios, hindering communication with division headquarters in Borno's capital Maiduguri.
- Human rights -
Several commentators, including former US ambassador to Nigeria John Campbell, have said Nigeria's military has been reluctant to accept US security assistance in the past.
But Nnamdi Obasi, Nigeria expert at the International Crisis Group, disagreed, saying partnerships with Abuja have been blocked by the West's legitimate concerns over human rights.
The Nigerian security forces have a grim rights record, including through the five-year Boko Haram uprising, with widespread accusations of soldiers firing indiscriminately on civilians during so-called anti-insurgent operations.
"Human rights is the main stumbling block," Obasi said, noting that Western "foot-dragging" may continue because of Nigerian rights violations.
- 'Matters of pride' -
Nigeria is Africa's most populous country and recently emerged as its top economy, with the nation of 170 million often referred to as the "giant of Africa".
The military ruled the country for much of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, and the spiralling Boko Haram violence has raised difficult questions about its competence.
"There is an embarrassment among some senior officers that these (foreign) advisors are even necessary," Hill said. "You've got matters of pride" complicating foreign partnerships.
Arizona Senator John McCain said this week: "I wouldn't be waiting for some kind of permission from some guy named Goodluck Jonathan," before sending special forces into Nigeria to rescue the hostages, which was widely taken as a insulting dismissal of the president.
That, along with Pentagon comments about the challenges of working with Nigeria, "certainly doesn't help," Hill said.
- How it could work -
The ICG's Obasi urged "caution" when forecasting the benefits of foreign help on the rescue mission.
"This a very difficult situation," he said, noting that Nigerian firepower backed by the West may still not see the girls freed.
Boko Haram's leader Abubakar Shekau in a video that showed some of the 223 girls being held said they could be released in exchange for Islamist prisoners detained by Nigeria.
Several analysts said negotiations, including a possible prisoner-for-hostage swap, may offer the best chance for the girls release.
But Hill said discounting the foreign help would be a mistake.
If Nigeria sets up a formal task force on the rescue mission, foreign experts should focus primarily on working with its top commanders.
"The Nigerians are going to be receiving a lot of very good advice," he said. "I think (the experts) can help if the Nigerians let them help."

Anyone who owns a Mercedes-Benz knows that when it comes to maintaining their car, truck, or SUV only the most superior replacement parts will do. While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your automobile. Car aficionados know that a reliable name is built into each Mercedes-Benz, and know that only the highest quality replacement GLA250 parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. Mercedes-Benz vehicle drivers have become used to a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their GLA250 around town.
Your car or truck uses liquid coolant to maintain a constant temperature in the engine, and its thermostat keeps the coolant flowing in the right direction so that your engine can maintain a constant and ideal operating temperature. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; shutting off access to the radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches an ideal temperature, your Mercedes-Benz GLA250 thermostat responds by directing coolant to the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Mercedes-Benz GLA250 engine that keeps it at a steady and controlled temperature determined for the engine to achieve the best balance between power, fuel efficiency, and emissions... all thanks to the thermostat.
Given all the trouble that can be involved with installing a part to fix your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy.

A lot of things happened since my last thread. Most of them are too taboo or too kinky to be revealed in this such public place so if you are still interested you might send me an email asking what had happened, and I might answer your questions. Perhaps you might find some answers in my Facebook account, though I can't guarantee 100%…
Anyway, after being back in Indonesia, I have noticed a thing about Indonesians which I haven't thought before. We are so modest we always apologise about everything, even though it is absolutely unnecessary. One day Alison and I were following a guy who gave us a tour around the coffee plantation in Magelang, and even though he could speak English very well, as well as French and Italian, he still apologised for his skill. He didn't see that most of us in the group are too lazy to learn other languages, (the French and Italian groups' English are even worse than anyone I know), the guide who promised to speak only in English so he didn't have to repeat himself three times, finally ended up explaining things over and over again.
Roos from Bugil's Group, despite managed to provide a fantastic bar in our party, still apologised to me when she came up and cheeks-kissed me. Despite calculated the amount of drink we would consummate correctly, as well as managed to get everything ready on time although there was a time miscommunication between us – all was done easily whilst she was officially in holiday and taking care of two kids – she still apologised. I told her that what she had done was fabulous and we couldn't thank her enough.
My mother is like a walking catalog. She knows places to go or things to do in most of areas in Indonesia. If you mention a certain place like Bali, or Yogya, she is able to come up with a long list, from where to eat local food, souvenirs to buy, shops to go, and of course, places to see. She developed a itinerary for me and my auntie-in-law, like six places to go in one day (yes, six! Talking about options!), all are interesting. Yet she still apologised to me and said that next time she could do better. Me, I wouldn't be able to pinpoint where Semeru Mountain is, let alone know that there is a colossal Ramayana ballet in Prambanan Temple (which, she has arranged and booked prior to our arrival. All we had to do was turn up). She was so fantastic she could be a travel agent – yet she still apologises for her capabilities.
As Asians, we are taught and trained to be modest. We are trained to never boast what we have, or what we have had done or achieved. Showing off is frowned upon. But sometimes we forget that we are allowed to take credit of what we have done. And accepting gratitudes from people is not wrong. And most of the times when we are praised by others, they really mean it.
So there is no need to apologise!
What do you think?
PS: I'm back from hiatus, by the way. Hello, everybody…

X-ray Studies of Protein Structure and Dynamics
High-resolution structures of proteins and other biological macromolecules determined using X-ray crystallography provide insight into molecular function and the basis for design and discovery of new pharmaceutical compounds. However, growing suitable quality protein crystals is often very challenging; the crystals are damaged by X-rays and by the cryogenic cooling used to reduce X-ray damage; and structures determined at cryogenic temperatures may not accurately capture all biologically relevant information, especially about subtle spatially correlated displacements essential to, e.g., ligand binding and enzymatic function. We are focused on developing experimental and computational methods to significantly increase both the quality and kinds of information about protein structure, energy landscapes,and function that can be obtained via crystallography. Techniques used include synchrotron-based X-ray imaging, ultra-high dose rate, ultra-fast time-resolved X-ray diffraction, ultra-fast cooling, small-angle X-ray scattering, quasi-elastic light scattering, fluorescence microscopy, and microfabrication. Some of our discoveries have been commercialized by MiTeGen, LLC, and are used by structural biologists around the world.
Nucleation, Growth and Glass Formation in Aqueous Systems
The physics of ice nucleation and growth is important in fields ranging from cryobiology and cryopreservation to cloud formation and climate change. We are studying fundamental aspects of ice nucleation and growth and of glass formation in aqueous systems, especially in the regimes of ultrafast cooling and ultrafast warming, and their applications in biological cryopreservation.
X-ray Fluorescence Imaging of Ancient Artifacts
In collaboration with classicists and archaeologists, we have been using synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence imaging and complementary methods to study ancient artifacts including Greek and Latin inscriptions on stone, ancient glasses from Iraq, and artifacts from the Maya and other Mesoamerican cultures. XRF imaging allows us to explore the tools and materials used in creating the objects, to discover how the objects looked at the time of their creation, and to recover lost or hidden text and images.
Electronic and Structural Properties of Charge-Density-Wave Conductors
Low-dimensional electronic materials that undergo transitions to charge or spin-density wave states are among the most remarkable conducting materials ever discovered. They exhibit extremely diverse phenomena having analogs in superconducting, magnetic, and pattern forming systems. Our current projects include fabrication and characterization of CDW microstructures and characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics and phase diagram of driven density waves.
Physics Education
Future U.S. economic competitiveness depends upon our ability to recruit and train a highly skilled workforce in science, technology, engineering and the health professions. Physics is a critical gateway to all of these disciplines, and provides the foundation for fundamental understanding, for analyzing data, and for solving problems. Following Cornell's long tradition of innovation in physics education, we have been developing teaching methods and materials that engage students of diverse backgrounds and interests, and that help them to develop both mastery of and a broader appreciation for physics. We have also developed a program to give Cornell undergraduates a practical and intellectual introduction to teaching and learning, and to recruit and train future high school physics teachers.

* FTSE 100 down 0.1 percent
* Traders expect FTSE drop if U.S. jobs data strong
* BT, Land Secs boosted by analyst recommendation upgrades
By Tricia Wright
LONDON, June 7 (Reuters) - Britain's top shares edged lower on Friday, steadying after steep falls in the previous session, with market moves likely to be muted ahead of U.S. jobs data.
The FTSE 100 was down 4.76 points, or 0.1 percent, at 6,331.35 by 0800 GMT, having skidded 1.3 percent lower on Thursday, recording its weakest close in a month and a half.
Traders said that Friday's jobs report could prove key in ascertaining when the U.S. Federal Reserve might begin to unwind its monetary stimulus.
Mounting uncertainty over the Fed's intentions regarding its asset purchase plan has put investors on edge recently, with the FTSE 100 dropping around 8 percent over the past two weeks.
"With the NFP (non-farm payrolls) figure being touted as one of the most important in a while, I think we will be stick in a holding pattern until we see that data," Nick Xanders, head of European equity strategy at BTIG, said.
Economists expected the non-farm payrolls report, due at 1230 GMT, to show job growth of 170,000 in May, against 165,000 in April. The unemployment rate is seen steady at an almost 4-1/2-year low of 7.5 percent.
A strong employment report could prove detrimental to equity markets by reducing the likelihood the Fed will keep the stimulus taps on for a longer period of time.
"We're in this funny reverse psychology where a good number could spell the end of QE (quantitative easing) and that's what the big fear is. If it's 170,000-200,000, then that's a good number," Mark Priest, trader at ETX Capital, said.
Priest reckoned any sell-off could be "quite severe" - in the region of around 1 percent on the FTSE 100 - although in the case of a negative number under 170,000, he did not envisage a sharp market reaction.
Henk Potts, market strategist at Barclays, however, does not believe the Fed will start scaling back its monthly asset purchases until first-quarter 2014, and does not see an interest rate rise in the United States until first-quarter 2015.
Analyst recommendation and target price changes were behind some of the sharpest market moves from individual equities on Friday, in what was a quiet day on the corporate calendar.
Glencore Xstrata climbed 1.7 percent, lifted by a target price hike from Bernstein, to 525 pence from 475 pence, a Barclays upgrade to "overweight" helped BT Group advance 2 percent, with Land Securities up 1.7 percent as JPMorgan lifted its rating on the stock to "overweight".

Looking over the Monte Alban plaza
Saturday 22/09/12 – Last night was interesting. We slept in a cliff-top house that's right next to a working lighthouse. The lighthouse was slightly down the cliff from the house which meant we were at exactly the same level as the top of the lighthouse. It was like someone was doing blockies in their car outside our bedroom window all night – the light-show would have made a good setting for a slasher movie. We had parked the bikes inside the courtyard of the hotel which meant that warming up our bikes was everyone's wakeup-call this morning. We headed out of town and crossed the state border into Guerrero. There were many small villages along the road including one with a man who was chopping up a large and disturbingly thick snake with a machete, I think he spotted it crossing the road and jumped out of his car to grab some impromptu dinner.
The jungle on the sides of the road is beginning to get really thick. At some stages there was vegetation about 3-4 metres high on the sides of the road, and in some parts, it was forming a canopy across the road. I was riding along
Our route through SW Mexico for this blog
and moved over to the right side of the road (the right side is the right side – but it feels like the wrong side) and went too close to the vegetation, a vine snagged onto my right handle bar and almost pulled me into the jungle (like in the cartoons where the vines are alive and wrap themselves around peoples ankles and arms). After some crazy wobbles I managed to get the bike under control. There was also some fairly heavy rain that caused a few flooding roads, but nothing that we couldn't handle.
We arrived in the city of Zihuatanejo and visited 4 different hotels before we found a suitable one. During our search, a really sleazy guy kept following us and trying to tell us we could stay with him for really cheap if we followed him to his house just outside of town. After sternly telling him no for the 10
time, he still followed us to our hotel and then waited outside for about an hour. We locked the bikes up and didn't leave the room till he left. He is the first obviously dodgy guy we have met in Mexico so far, almost
Sunset over Acapulco
everyone else we've talked to have been really nice. The hotel we found was very cheap and clean, the only problem was the toilet didn't work. Hmmmm….
Sunday 23/09/12 – We spent another day riding to the city of Acapulco. The roads on the outskirts of Acapulco were the worst roads I have ever been on. There were potholes everywhere (some knee deep), big sinkholes that were chest high, roads crumbling into cliffs and maniac bus drivers. Adding to the experience was the incredible police and military presence here. We rode through 4 military checkpoints on the way into the city – it has a very large port and is renowned for its drug trafficking problems. We had previously picked out a hotel on the net, however (trying to) find it turned into an epic adventure. At one point we rode up a street with an incline of about 40 degrees; it got pretty hairy when it turned into a dead-end and we had to turn around. It was so steep that the front brakes wouldn't hold the bikes and we were sliding backwards in a slow-motion, terrifying, backwards, borderline-out-of-control descent. After a few similar experiences we
Cliff diver - he jumped from the top near the lights
quit even trying and headed down to the waterfront in search of the first decent looking place to stay. We randomly picked one on the beach in the old-city right next to the plaza, and it turned out to be great! At first I was pleased because the hotel had two cops armed with machine guns outside (one kept asking me all about our trip), but then after thinking about it I was a bit concerned about why the hotel had two cops armed with machine guns outside…
For the evening we walked up to the famous La Quebrada where we watched the sunset over the water, and then some incredibly brave young men doing cliff diving. Most of the older divers (late teens) jumped from 20 metres high, usually with a few flips to wow the crowd. The final diver jumped backwards from 25 metres high, did a flip and entered the water feet first. They were absolutely amazing! When I was a young teen I used to jump into the blowhole entrance at Blackmans Bay from about 11 metres high (feet-first and wearing wetsuit boots)– and I thought I was pretty good…
Just before the rain hits as we head to Oaxaca
Monday 24/09/12 – Today we went to the wharf and jumped on a glass-bottom boat for a trip out to the nearby Isla de la Roqueta. The trip out meant we had a view of the entire city and bay area (Acapulco is situated in a C-shaped bay). The deckhand was a young kid with plenty of tricks up his sleeve. He jumped off the boat, swam over to a cliff, somehow managed to climb out of the water and up the cliff to about 15 metres high and then dived off like it was nothing. Later on he went over the side and picked up an urchin from the bottom, he then cut it open and swam under the glass bottom boat a few times with the urchin in his mouth. There were hundreds of tropical fish swarming all over his body and face; it was amazing and strangely disturbing to see.
We reached the island and were greeted by some floating vendors trying to sell us almost anything you could expect from boats, kayaks and jet skis. On the way back to the city, the boat stopped over an underwater statue of Mexico's patron saint Guadalupe, much
Edge of the grand plaza at Monte Alban
to the delight of the Mexican tourists on board. We also got some entertainment by the grooving captain who was playing a Spanish version of Bryan Adam's "Everything I do, I do it for you" over the speakers whilst singing along and swaying to the music. He also gave us some commentary on the mansions built along the waterfront; regrettably the only word I recognised was Leonardo DiCaprio. The waves had picked up pretty rough by this time so Kenz was pretty happy when we made it back to the harbour.
After doing our first proper laundry since San Diego (!) we walked around the plaza and downtown district. The evening was spent watching the movie 'Three Amigos' which Kenz had never seen. She didn't think it was very funny at all. I wish I had known this before Vegas, not liking Three Amigos is almost a deal breaker…
Tuesday 25/09/12 – Our trip out of Acapulco was even more exciting than the trip in. I won't bore you with a minute-by-minute description of the experience, but I will tell you about the shouting match we had with the local police. After narrowly avoiding a toll
Stone stela inscribed with figurines
road with some sneaky manoeuvring, we came to a bustling intersection with typical Mexican chaos around us. I was trying to convince Kenz to run the red light and make the right turn like we (and everyone else) often do – but Kenz with her steely determination and stubborn views on doing what is 'right' said NO! After a gruelling 2 minute wait for the light to change we took off only to pulled over by about 6 cops hidden around the corner. They were accusing us of running the red light which (for once) we didn't. The remarkable thing was the cops couldn't even see the lights from their position; they were just pulling everyone over with plates from other states/countries and accusing them of running the red light. We had a couple of local taxis that drove past us and through the red – and they didn't get pulled over. The only English word they seemed know was red and a shouting match ensued: red, green, red, green, RED, GREEN, RED, GREEN, RED, GREEN, ROJO, VERDE! After this 2 word discussion went on for a while, the cops demanded our licences and passports, and we immediately
knew we would have to pay to get them back so our response was just green, GREEN, VERDE! Finally the police boss who knew English came over and was more interested in the bikes than bribing us, so we took off before he changed his mind. We had read that the traffic cops in Acapulco were pretty much the worst in all of Mexico, so we were glad to get away without having to empty our wallets. We also had to ride down a road which was flooded by a burst water main. It wasn't a drama as the water was only ankle deep; however a bus roared past Kenz splashing her with dirty smelly water – it was hilarious!
We decided on a 'creative' route for the next two days to travel from Acapulco to Oaxaca to avoid the toll highway and to shave an impressive 40 kms off the other highway. This decision was one that we often regretted and often applauded over the next 2 days. Today 6 hours of hard riding yielded just 300km and left us dirty, frustrated and exhausted; however we had seen some spectacular country side and traditional villages with women herding
East side of grand plaza with Oaxaca in the background
goats and men using donkeys to hall goods around the villages. After riding through many towns that had no hotels, hostels, bungalows, or houses that I would trust to stay up for a full night, we came across a large city called Tlapa that we weren't expecting but were happy to see. Despite our best efforts, we still got stung by the tolls which cost us equivalent to US$32 for just over 80km travelled.
Whilst Kenz was in a hotel trying to organise a room for the night, I was outside keeping an eye on the bike and checking out another bike on the street that had been setup for touring. Before long an energetic and friendly Mexican guy named Eduardo came bursting out of a nearby building shaking my hand and wanting to know about the trip. It turns out that also has aspirations of traveling on his bike to Central America and South America. He was meant to leave on the trip this morning but got waylaid visiting his son in Tlapa. After swapping stories, ideas and plans for a solid hour, Kenz and I wished him luck and farewell and headed up to our room. When

organising rooms in Mexico we have learnt to say that we are married otherwise we end up with two or three beds (and one place in Mazatlan wouldn't take couples unless they were married!), however they may have got the wrong idea tonight as I think they put us in their 'honeymoon suite'. It was an eerily/creepy room with love heart print on the bed-spread, curtains and heart shaped pillows.
Wednesday 26/09/12 – Today we found out why they call the wet season the WET season. After a night of monsoonal rains the roads were bedlam. The potholes are now full of water, so you don't know if they are just small puddles or a knee-deep wheel-destroying hole. Also there were many land/mud slides overnight which made the roads incredibly dangerous as they had usually occurred on corners surrounded by steep banks or cliffs. One mud-slide was across the road and although single lane high-sprung traffic could get through, it had a rock the size of a VW Beetle in the right lane. A local man was clearing the road using just a shovel and a pick axe; I would have liked to see him tackle the
Atop of the southern pyramid
giant rock. We also carefully rode past a section where the road had sunk and crumbled off a cliff leaving a 10 metre section of missing road (like aliens had just beamed it up!). Only about a third of the road was left, we rode way up on the gravel shoulder just in case anymore decided to disappear.
All of the tiny villages that we passed through had groups of stray dogs patrolling the streets or sleepily watching the traffic, however every village had at least 3 dogs that would try and chase us down. It's not a pleasant feeling riding along a goat-track of a road with a number of wild dogs running along barking next to your ankles. I always try to ignore them and concentrate on the road however I also always have visions of them pulling my calf off my leg as I ride past!
After midday, an unreasonable amount of water decided to fall from the sky. It didn't let up for hours which resulted in many sections of road becoming rivers of bright yellow muddy water. We were tempted to stay in one of the larger villages for the night, but decided
Steep descent down the stairs of the southern pyramid
to push on to Oaxaca. So after a day of almost 10 hours of riding for just 400km, we road into the state capital city of Oaxaca in the state of Oaxaca (pronounced wah-ha-kah). We eventually stumbled across a cheap hotel with secure parking near the old city centre. All we cared about at this stage was getting a hotel which had hot water to warm up our prune-ish extremities (on a side note: the Spanish word for hot is 'caliente' which means their hot taps have the letter C on them – it led to a number of unnecessary cold showers for the first few days in Mexico!).
Thursday 27/09/12 – What a day! We headed towards the Monte Alban ruins that are only 5km outside the city. We spent 2 hours 'exploring' the city suburbs (exploring is my dignified way of saying we were totally lost) before we found the ruins. I was once again pleased that we were visiting a tourist attraction in the off-season as the ruins were almost deserted. The ruins were simply stunning! I could (but won't) write a 100 page essay on them, and could (and did) take hundreds of
Monte Alban from the northern staircase
The city was built in several stages between 500BC and 1500AD. Originally it was home to the Zapotec people (with modern-day descendants still residing in the area) who abandoned it in 850AD for reasons unknown. It was then used by the conquering Mixtecs as a sacred area and burial site up until the 1520s. Both civilisations showed incredibly advanced scientific thinking as the cities were designed around astronomy. They used constructions to represent a link between themselves and the gods during different times of year. For example, one of their pyramid-temples had a tiny skylight that only let a single beam of light shine through for a few days during the summer and winter solstice. This signified the changing of the season which influenced many aspects of their lives such as agriculture and festivals. I had no idea of the complexity of the societies of the pre-Columbian Mesoamericans. For instance the third largest city in the world (at that time) was in Mesoamerica, and they had the vigesimal number system (rather than the Roman numbering system) as well as the number 0 long before the Europeans!
The ancient city of Monte Alban is built on the mountain
Northern temple complex
tops above Oaxaca, and consists of many buildings (such as temples, shrines, tombs, dwellings, a palace, a ball court, and even an observatory) whose location within the city are all aligned according to their understanding of astronomy. The main structures are a massive pyramid to the south and the northern great plaza. We scaled the southern pyramid, whose dimensions are an impressive 120m x 112m x 11m high, with burning legs as the steps were 34 cm wide but 47 cm high! The view of the ancient city and the surrounding modern city of Oaxaca was worth the effort. The northern plaza is an even more impressive 300m x 180m and houses many smaller dwellings and temples on top.
We returned from the serenity of the ancient city to the modern-day city to be met with awful gridlocked traffic and disgruntled bus, taxi and tuk-tuk drivers. We have become quite adept at sneaking down the inside of traffic, or weaving down in-between lanes when the traffic is bad. Yesterday we came across a traffic jam that went for about 5 blocks, we made short work of it by some sneaky zig-zagging across lanes and in between buses and taxis.
The old market place at Monte Alban
It turned out the traffic was so bad because the 4 lane road suddenly became a single lane street – now that's some quality town planning!
We went into the city food market for lunch today, it was a giant shed situated on the interior of a block which was only accessible by a few small entrances. It would be easy to walk past it and not know it was there, however we followed our noses and had some great quesadillas (tortillas filled with cheese and chicken, then folded in half and grilled) and tamales (a steamed corn husk filled with ground corn paste, chicken, sauce etc.). There was also a lady walking around selling roasted grasshoppers by the scoopful. We lashed out spending 2 peso (about 15 cents) on a small handful which we thought may have complimented the meal. Whilst interesting and marinated with garlic and other herbs, we thought the few we sampled were enough for us. If I didn't know what I was eating I could probably eat a bagful, the secret is to just swallow – don't crunch!
We were so impressed by the market that we returned for dinner as well. This
Resting at another temple
time we ordered what we thought was a chicken platter, however it turned out to be a chicken broth filled with diced tomatoes, rice, avocado, onion, peppers and fried pig fat. It was delicious!
Friday 28/09/12 – We went over to our favourite market for breakfast this morning. We decided on the traditional bowl of hot chocolate milk served with a sweet bread roll. The Oaxaca region is very traditional and often holds on to their 'old ways'. It is often described as almost being its own separate country as the food and culture of the region is quite different from the rest of Mexico.
We had planned on walking around the city for most of the day, however after about 2 hours we had only walked a few blocks – we kept bumping into other adventure motorbike riders! We have only passed 2 on the road since San Diego, and then met 3 different and independent groups in 2 hours. Probably the most noteworthy was an American guy in his sixties who was riding from the US to South America and never coming back. He was a real weirdo who had a tenuous grasp on
Yet another temple
reality – we definitely won't be forgetting him in a hurry. There were 2 younger Americans (also on KLRs) who were staying at the same hotel as us and heading to Panama. We chatted to them for a few hours whilst we did some bike maintenance and they did oil changes and bike tinkering. We all had similar KLR stories such as riding down the highway with a subframe bolt snapping or flying off. They have had some problems with their bikes though, for instance one of them burnt out an ignition coil in Baja, and a road side genius mechanic wired in a car ignition coil which had since survived all the way to Oaxaca! We then came across a Belgian couple on BMWs who were doing the same trip as us but south to north. They were happy to chat and lend us some advice about the road ahead and what to expect (and what not to).
After talking with all these interesting people, I then got accosted by a Jehovah Witness in the central plaza. She was an American so I had no qualms about challenging her beliefs (I don't want to be a loud mouth
Skull with turquoise skin found in Monte Alban tomb 7
tourist belittling local people for their beliefs – but I have no problems doing it to another tourist who approaches me on the street and challenges me). It's funny how critical and scornful she was of Christianity, Judaism and Catholicism, but she refused to see how her beliefs as a JW come up short under similar scrutiny. After about 30 minutes I mentioned my interest in science and biology and her immediate response was "If evolution is real, then why is humanity getting the worst it's ever been?" At this point I realised this women had stolen 30 minutes of my precious life which I would never get back, and I wished I had spent it more constructively perhaps by seeing how long I could go without thinking about penguins or maybe walking down the street pretending I was a race car making revving noises and adding my own commentary.
We then headed all over the city checking out the historic town centre and many cathedrals and old buildings in the area. The cathedrals in this area are certainly the most impressive I have seen on the trip so far, with not one unadorned surface in the Santo Domingo
Another artefact found in Monte Alban tomb 7
church. Another one had a glass coffin with a Jesus manikin inside – complete with robes, fake blood and a crown of thorns. It was so freaky. The most impressive visit was to the Oaxaca Cultural Museum which was surrounded by the Botanical Cactus Garden. The museum had an incredible display of items and artefacts from the region dating from pre-Columbian history to the Spanish conquistadors.
Saturday 29/09/12 – We waved goodbye to Drew and Jeremy (the American KLR riders heading to Panama) before heading downtown to a 1 on 2 cooking lesson that we had prearranged for today. Nora, a native Oaxaquena, was our cooking teacher who only teaches recipes for traditional Oaxacan food using local ingredients. We headed down to the local market and purchased an incredible number of ingredients before returning to her house to cook a 4 course meal. Our entrée was a great guacamole with local cheese (quesilla – kind of like stringy mozzarella) on some grilled cactus. We then had a chicken consomme prepared with garlic, hierba santa (similar taste to fennel), squash flowers and more quesilla. Our main dish was chicken with mole estafado and minted rice. For dessert, we
Yummy. Grasshopper.
made tamalitos (baby tamales) with sweetened ground corn, pineapple, coconut and raisins steamed in corn husks. We also made a hot salsa with dried worms as one of the ingredients!
Oaxaca is famous for its mole sauces (pronounced mol-ay) and there are seven traditional moles. Kenz has tried three of them since being in Mexico, but not the one we made today. This one contained many ingredients, including tomatoes, plantains, chicken stock, bread, chocolate (!) and about 10 other herbs and spices. Thankfully, Nora provided printed recipes for us to take home so we didn't have to memorise it all. We then got to sit down and enjoy all the food we made, it was a great meal and a great day.
