Severe hypothyroidism in infancy results in slow growth, significant intellectual disability, and developmental delays. Symptoms are seldom apparent at birth. The age at which they appear and their severity depends on how well the infant's thyroid gland works.
Infants are treated with synthetic thyroid hormone replacement. An infant treated for hypothyroidism within the first month of life grows and develops normally. Treatment must be continued for life. If hypothyroidism occurs after age 3, intellectual disability usually does not occur. But untreated childhood hypothyroidism usually delays a child's physical growth and sexual development.
Children and teens also need lifelong treatment with synthetic thyroid hormone replacement. With adequate treatment, a child will catch up in height and weight to healthy children of the same age.

Afternoon all,
Trying to get my head around which portable dac's work well with the S4.
The DAC am looking at is the EA E-DAC, but does it work?
Is there better options out there?
It will be a S4 - DAC - SR80i setup.
The DAC will be used on a laptop from time to time also.
Cheers, Mark.

To improve the Edison battery's performance, the Stanford team used graphene – nanosized sheets of carbon that are only 1-atom thick – and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, each consisting of about 10 concentric graphene sheets rolled together.
"In conventional electrodes, people randomly mix iron and nickel materials with conductive carbon," Wang explained. "Instead, we grew nanocrystals of iron oxide onto graphene, and nanocrystals of nickel hydroxide onto carbon nanotubes."
Schematic drawing of the ultra-Ni–Fe battery made from inorganic/carbon hybrid materials. A Ni(OH)2/MWNT hybrid was used as the cathode and a FeOx/graphene hybrid was used as the anode. 1 M aqueous KOH solution was used as the electrolyte. On charging, Ni(OH)2/MWNT and FeOx/graphene were converted to NiOOH/MWNT and Fe/graphene
Nature Communications - An ultrafast nickel–iron battery from strongly coupled inorganic nanoparticle/nanocarbon hybrid materials
This technique produced strong chemical bonding between the metal particles and the carbon nanomaterials, which had a dramatic effect on performance.
"Coupling the nickel and iron particles to the carbon substrate allows electrical charges to move quickly between the electrodes and the outside circuit," Dai said. "The result is an ultrafast version of the nickel-iron battery that's capable of charging and discharging in seconds."
Future applications
The 1-volt prototype battery developed in Dai's lab has just enough power to operate a flashlight. The researchers' goal is to make a bigger battery that could be used for the electrical grid or transportation.
Most electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt, run on lithium-ion batteries, which can store a lot of energy but typically take hours to charge.
"Our battery probably won't be able to power an electric car by itself because the energy density is not ideal," Wang said. "But it could assist lithium-ion batteries by giving them a real power boost for faster acceleration and regenerative braking."
The enhanced Edison battery might be especially useful in emergency situations, Dai added. "There may be applications for the military, for example, where you have to charge something very quickly," he said.
"It's definitely scalable," Wang said. "Nickel, iron and carbon are relatively inexpensive. And the electrolyte is just water with potassium hydroxide, which is also very cheap and safe. It won't blow up in a car."
The prototype battery has one key drawback – the ability to hold a charge over time. "It doesn't have the charge-discharge cycling stability that we would like," Dai said. "Right now it decays by about 20 percent over 800 cycles. That's about the same as a lithium-ion battery. But our battery is really fast, so we'd be using it more often. Ideally, we don't want it to decay at all."
Dai said the use of strongly coupled nanomaterials represents a very exciting approach to making electrodes.
"It's different from traditional methods, where you simply mix materials together. I think Thomas Edison would be happy to see this progress," he said.

The draw for next summer's UEFA European Under-21 Championship takes place in Tel Aviv on Wednesday and Israeli football is eagerly awaiting its moment in the spotlight, according to Avraham Luzon, president of the hosting Israel Football Association (IFA).
Speaking to UEFA.com on the eve of the draw, Luzon said there was a growing sense of anticipation at the prospect of Israel staging its first major football tournament next June. "There's suspense, there's excitement, and there's a lot of interest," he said.
Luzon explained that the preparations were "at their peak" for an event incorporating two "shining" new stadiums in Netanya and Petah Tikva, together with two revamped venues. "The two additional stadiums, Teddy and Bloomfield, are going through comprehensive renovations in order for them to be ready for the tournament's opening as well."
The scene will be set for Europe's finest U21 teams and Guy Luzon, coach of the home side, believes we really will be seeing the continent's best descend on Israel. "I've had a chance to watch the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, England, Russia. These are teams of the highest level," said the coach, nephew of Avraham Luzon. "I think this tournament will be hosting the best European teams, except for France."

BRIEF-Kuwait's Al Argan International Real Estate FY profit falls
* FY net profit attributable to shareholders 1.8 million dinars versus 16.7 million dinars year ago
Dec 27 Middle-aged borrowers are piling up student debt faster than any other age group, according to a new analysis obtained by Reuters.
Educational borrowing is up for every age group over the past three years, but it has grown far more quickly among those between 35 and 49, according to the analysis of more than 3 million credit reports provided to Reuters by the credit score tracking site CreditKarma (CreditKarma.com). That group saw its school debt burden increase by a staggering 47 percent, according to the analysis.
The average student loan debt for those aged 38 to 41 was the biggest of that group -- about $12,000, up from just under $9,000 in 2009. Young people still carry the biggest student loan burdens; those aged 26 to 29 have an average of $14,000 in student debt. But the increased levels in middle-aged student debt is a new phenomenon.
Credit Karma CEO Kenneth Lin says the reason is obvious: The tough economy has pushed people to seek mid-career training.
"More and more people are going back to school," he says. "High unemployment, rising tuition costs, artificially low interest rates from the government, and increased for-profit school advertising... (adds up to) consumers taking on student loan debt at an alarming pace."
For-profit schools tend to saddle more debt on older students with poorer credit than traditional institutions, he said.
For example, Atlantan Janice Derrick might be typical. She was 47, with 25 years of work experience when she got laid off nearly three years ago as an executive assistant. She applied for about 200 jobs without getting a single call.
"Not even temp agencies were taking on people," she says.
Derrick took an aptitude test and found she was well suited to be a social worker or school counselor. But she did the math and realized the low salary expectations and the amount of additional schooling weren't a great combination. So she decided to study to become a court reporter instead, and amassed about $25,000 in student loan debt for her training. That was on top of the credit card debt she accumulated while unemployed.
Now 50, she just got her court reporting license, and she says she's hopeful.
"I am still worried about money, but there is plenty of work," Derrick says. "Unlike most of my friends, I am starting to catch up."
Derrick has been working with a financial planner, Cristina Briboneria, vice president, oXYGen Financial in Alpharetta, Georgia.
Briboneria says she sees similar, and sometimes less-positive situations with people from all walks of life.
College loans are a huge problem beyond just this recent move into an older demographic. The financial aid site FinAid.org estimates the amount of outstanding student loans at $966 billion, which surpasses even the amount of credit card debt in the US .
Mitchell Weiss, co-founder of the The Center for Personal Financial Responsibility at the University of Hartford, which gives students personal finance guidance, says he's not surprised to see the trend and has words of caution for those who are considering taking on student debt in a career change: It's easy to get student loans - perhaps too easy.
"The loans they take are often times more than they can tolerate. And they can't always score a better job to pay for them... Everybody believes they will get out school, get a job and pay it back. Few really take the time to do the math and decide how much they could afford to borrow," he says.
The best bet for anyone who feels as though additional schooling will help their job prospects is to enroll while they're still employed and they are able to take advantage of any education support from their employer.
If that opportunity's already gone, it's important to do a realistic evaluation as to whether the job opportunities are going to justify the expense. Weiss says he knows people who assumed a mid-career change would be successful simply because they went back to school and got a master's degree in business. But a degree without any related experience could put a 40-something in competition with a 20-something graduate who's done internships and may be willing to work for less.
Going back to school and accumulating debt without a realistic plan to pay for it is a "roll of the dice," Weiss says.
Both Weiss and Lin noted that this government-backed debt, unlike most other debt, cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy, so it is an albatross for those who can't make enough money after going back to school.
"Some of my clients have come out of their programs with over $100,000 worth of debt and are unable to find a job making six figures," Briboneria says. "Because of the economy, many employers have an abundance of candidates to choose from for their open positions who will work for less money to pay the bills."
There are some alternatives to piling up student debt for those who do want to take the chance and go back to school. Explore what support might be available to you:
--Does you state offer grants toward job training and education if you've been laid off?
--Look for grants or student loan forgiveness if you pursue certain career paths, such as teaching.
--Shop around for aid packages from schools you're interested in attending. The Department of Education says some colleges and universities will offer a "bargain" tuition for older students.
--Ask a prospective college or university if they will award life experience credit to help offset the number of classes you might have to pay for.

January 27, 2011, Kansas City, Mo
In reference to the January 26, 2011, Fox 4 news report titled "Church Forcing Some Westport Businesses to Move":
Redeemer Fellowship is passionate about being good neighbors. We want to work with our neighborhood and our city to see our community become a better place to live. We are committed to this neighborhood for the long-haul and know that community change does not happen overnight. The ways our members are involved in the city are diverse, but as a church we have hosted the Westport Neighborhood Association in our building for over a year, and maintain a very close relationship with MainCor, the Kansas City Missouri School District, as well as many other community development organizations.
In 2008 Redeemer Fellowship acquired the property at 3921 Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. Included with this acquisition were several rental properties: three spaces on Main St. and eight spaces on Westport Rd. Over the last several decades, the building containing the addresses 2, 6, 8, and 10 on Westport Rd. has fallen into disrepair. This building was a later addition, and stands in contrast to the historical buildings that surround it. It is in need of such significant repairs that we could not hope to recover the costs in any reasonable amount of time.
In light of this, our property management company sent the tenants of 2, 6, 8 and 10 Westport Rd. non-renewal notices for their leases to prepare for the demolition of the property, which we expect will take place late this Spring. The Main St. spaces and 14, 16, and 18 Westport Rd. will not be affected, and we do not own the building of the dry cleaning business on the Northeast corner of Westport Rd. and Baltimore Ave.
We have offered several of the tenants assistance as they seek to relocate within the neighborhood.
This Spring, we plan to host a group of graduate students from KU's Urban Planning program who will research and propose potential uses of the space. As we consider possible uses, we will consider what would be best for our neighborhood and our city. We can say that no significant parking will be added, and that parking was not a consideration in making this decision.
In line with our mission statement as a church, we remain resolutely committed to God's glory and the good of Kansas City. We trust that this decision, though difficult, will have a lasting and positive impact in our neighborhood.
With you for Midtown,
– Redeemer Fellowship

Options and Math
Posted on Wednesday, December 11, 2013 at 11:20 AM
One of the greatest advantages of options trading is its extreme flexibility in both the initial construction of positions and in the ability to adjust a position to match the new outlook of the underlying. The trader who limits his or her world to that of simply trading equities and ETF�s can only deal in terms of short or long. A change in an outlook often requires starting a new position or exiting the old one. The options trader can usually accommodate the newly developed outlook with much more fluidly, often with minor adjustments on the position in order to achieve the right fit with the new outlook.
One concept with which the trader needs to be familiar in order to construct the necessary adjustments is that of the synthetic relationships. Most options traders neglect to familiarize themselves with the concept when learning to trade options. This concept arises from the fact that appropriately structured option positions are virtually indistinguishable in function from the corresponding long or short equity/ETF position. One approach to remembering the relationships is to memorize all of the relationships. It may be easier to do this by remembering the mathematical formula and modifying as needed.
For those who remember high school algebra, the fundamental equation expressing this relationship is S=C-P. The variables are defined as S=stock, C=call, and P=put. This equation states that stock is equivalent to a long call and a short put.
Using high school algebra to formulate this equation, the various equivalency relationships can easily be determined. Remember that we can maintain the validity of the equation by performing the same action to each of the two sides. This fundamental algebraic adjustment allows us, for example, to derive the structure of a short stock position by multiplying each side by -1 and maintain the equality relationship. In this case (S)*-1 =(C-P)*-1 or �S=P-C; short stock equals long put and short call.
Such synthetic positions are frequently used to establish positions or to modify existing positions either in whole or part. You might have not liked algebra when you were in school, but applying some of the formulas can help an options trader exponentially!

/// Nokia: A Microsoft Surface Phone Could Screw Us
Jonas Daehnert No one knows for sure yet if Microsoft is developing its own Windows 8 smartphone, but some of the company's handset manufacturers clearly fear that it might. One in particular: Nokia. Nokia bet the farm on Windows Phone back in 2011, committing to a broad partnership under which Microsoft's mobile OS would be its primary smartphone strategy. Two years later, it continues to struggle toward what has so far been an elusive recovery. So it's understandable that the Finnish handset maker might worry that Microsoft's foray into the tablet world with Surface might herald a similar "exploratory" jaunt into the smartphone market. And, according to Nokia's latest 6-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that is a very real fear. Among the multitude of Microsoft-related uncertainties listed in the "Risk Factors" portion of Nokia's 20-F is this one, helpfully flagged by Business Insider : "Microsoft may make strategic decisions or changes that may be detrimental to us. For example, in addition to the Surface tablet, Microsoft may broaden its strategy to sell other mobile devices under its own brand, including smartphones

How to write a book – the short honest truth
Every author I know gets asked the same question: How do you write a book?
It's a simple question, but it causes unexpected problems. On the one hand, it's nice to have people interested in something I do. If I told people I fixed toasters for a living, I doubt I'd get many inquires. People are curious about writing and that's cool and flattering. Rock on.
But on the other hand, the hand involving people who ask because they have an inkling to do it themselves, is that writing books is a topic so old and so well trod by so many famous people that anyone who asks hoping to discover secret advice is hard to take seriously.
Here's the short honest truth: 20% of the people who ask me are hoping to hear this – Anyone can write a book. They want permission. The truth is you don't need any. There is no license required. No test to take. Writing, as opposed to publishing, requires almost no financial or physical resources. A pen, paper and effort are all that has been required for hundreds of years. If Voltaire and Marquis de Sade could write in prison, then you can do it in suburbia, at lunch, at work, or after your kids go to sleep. You will always find excuses if you want them and you probably do.
If you want to write, kill the magic: a book is just a bunch of writing. Anyone can write a book. It might suck or be incomprehensible, but so what: it's still a book. Nothing is stopping you right now from collecting all of your elementary school book reports, or drunken napkin scribbles, binding them together at Kinkos for $20, slapping a title on the cover, and qualifying as an author. Want to write a good book? Ok, but get in line since most pro authors are still trying to figure that out too.
Writing a good book, compared to a bad one, involves one thing. Work. No one wants to hear this, but if you take two books off any shelf, I'll bet my pants the author of the better book worked harder than the author of the other one. Call it effort, study, practice, whatever. Sure there are tricks here and there, but really writing is a kind of work.
Getting published. 30% of the time the real thing people are asking is how do you find a publisher. As if there wasn't a phone book or, say, an Internet-thingy where you can look this stuff up. Writers-market is literally begging to help writers find publishers. Many publishers, being positive on the whole idea of communication, put information on how to submit material on their website. And so do agents. The grand comedy of this is how few writers follow the instructions. That's what pisses off all the editors: few writers do their homework.
The sticking point for most wanna-be published authors is, again, the work. They want to hear some secret that skips over the hard parts. Publishers are rightfully picky and they get pitched a zillion books a day. It takes effort to learn the ropes, send out smart queries, and do the research required to both craft the idea for a book, and then to propose it effectively. So while writing is a rejection prone occupation, even for the rock-stars, finding a publisher is not a mystery. In fact the whole game is self-selective: people who aren't willing to do the work of getting published are unlikely to be capable of the work required to finish a decent manuscript.
But that said – it's easier today to self-publish than ever. Really. But again, our tragically unpopular companion, work, is required so many prefer to keep asking writers how they got published instead of just doing it themselves. I self published my last book, and you can read what I learned from it here.
Being famous and wealthy: Now this is the kicker. About 50% of the time the real thing people want to know is how to become a famous millionaire rock-star author person. As if a) I qualified, b) I could explain how it happened, or c) I'd be willing to tell.
First, this assumes writing is a good way to get rich. I'm not sure how this lie started but writing, like most creative pursuits, has always been a less than lucrative lifestyle. Even if a book sells well, the $$$ to hour ratio will be well below your average corporate job, without the health benefits, sick days, nor the months where you can coast by without your boss noticing. These days people write books after they're famous, not before. And if the only books you read are bestsellers, well, you have a myopic view of the publishing world. Over 100k books are published in the US annually, and few sell more than a few thousand copies. What causes books to sell may have little to do with how good a book is, as we've all been mystified by the abysmal bestsellers and surprised by amazing books few seem to know about. Either way, to justify the effort you'll need reasons other than cash.
Discouraged yet? Good. Here is the upside: I love writing books. I love reading books. I love the entire notion that people can make things up in their mind and then make them real on a page, for the pleasure or utility of someone else. That's awesome. If you like writing, if you enjoy the bittersweetness of chasing words into sentences, then you might love writing books too, despite, or even because of, everything I said above. If so, get to work – now :)

For many years this space remained fallow because of my procrastination over which seeds to plant and where. So, these are strands of thought, unfinished works, publications and other 'stuff' that I cannot for the moment fit anywhere else. Though I have still to really make a decision over the nature of this space online, I cannot delay any longer because the thoughts and stories can no longer be silenced or contained within the confines of my mind.
And that is the starting point, and may the site evolve.

autumn corn necklace
Goose loves autumn corn. She loves to grind up the kernels in her mortar and pestle.
She loves to make potions with her magic corn.
I thougtht we could do something a little more decorative with it.
So we soaked the kernels overnight.
Then we used a needle and embroidery floss to string our "beads" into a necklace.
Can you see the garnet, carnelian and amber?
This is definitely an adult supervised project. And I recomment using a thimble!
I love these necklaces!

Neither of them should win. Not enough GP.
Add Your Cam Talbot
But Anderson is being considered (and very well might win) and he didn't play that many games.
Again, if Crosby can be considered for Hart…..
that Ray Emery and Corey Crawford are considered top goaltenders may actually mean Lundqvist should win the Vezina
"I think it's him, Rask, or Lundqvist. If Anderson had played more games, it would be his in a landslide."
What if Anderson stunk in those extra games?
It's why I think the Blackhawks are *not* going to win the cup. Their goaltending can easily fall off a cliff.
Much easier to have low GAA and high Sv. pct when you play fewer games.
Wonder how many of the 16 teams in the playoffs would trade their goalie for Lundqvist.
Agreed completely Manny. Goaltending is so key in the playoffs, another reason the Penguins won't reach the finals, unless Fleury mimics his postseason from a few years ago.
Latona, I'm saying if Anderson had played more games *and been good in them* then it would be his in a landslide.
"But Anderson is being considered (and very well might win) and he didn't play that many games."
I don't think he is being seriously considered, nor do I think he will win.
Fleury was just OK the year Pittsburgh won. He was much better in the year that they lost.
Either way, he will need to be much, MUCH better than he was last year.
So much easier to understand when you put it that way, Puck!
How could you say something like that, Doodie? People all across the hockey world have admitted to voting for him. TSN, NHL Network, etc. You think they are just mentioning it for the hell of it rather than being completely serious? I know we love the Rangers but Lundqvist is *not* winning the Vezina. He doesn't deserve it. Anderson is tops in almost every goaltending category. Rask (5 SO), Bobrovsky or Anderson should win the Vezina. The second tier are guys like Schneider (5 SO), Crawford and Emery.
Also, Crawford played 30 games. Rask only played 6 more.
And yes, Kenny. The Penguins and Blackhawks can easily (and I mean easily) fall off a cliff in the postseason. That's my belief. I don't think either are winning. I may be wrong but it's just my hunch.
Manny, who's saying they voted for him?
The GMs did the voting.
you know what, I changed my mind: Lundqvist has a legitimate shot of winning
and by the way, Anderson winning the Vezina having missed half the season's game is ludicrous
WOO HOO, I'm in the siouxper contest on NHL.com
Afternoon all,
No mention of Mr. Quick here.
I seem to remember him doing pretty OK in last year's play-ons.
L.A. has to be in the conversation for a repeat because of him.
In my opinion, he and King Henrik are clearly the two best goalies in the tournament. -
no George Lucas avatar yet carp? WTB?!
no mention of Quick in the Vezina discussing because he had a lousy season
and seriously, I had Quick on my fantasy team – the guy was painfully average pretty much all year
I still don't get the George Lucas thing …
Quick is a proven playoff performer.
Makes his team extremely dangerous.
And I didn't mean Quick should win the Vezina.
I mentioned him as a goalie to be feared in the playoffs.
Not Craig Anderson. Come on.
Craig Anderson is in the Carey Price/Braden Holtby category. Has looked like Lundqvist against the Rangers.
"People all across the hockey world have admitted to voting for him. TSN, NHL Network, etc."
Manny, GMs vote on Vezina. Nobody else.
yeah the Craig Anderson discussion is laughable. you can't name a guy who played half the games the best in anything.
Well, I have been hearing that people "talked to sources" and Craig Anderson is a favorite. I'm not saying I agree with it but I'm saying that flippantly saying that it's not a serious consideration is a bit ridiculous since Anderson is the first name I hear on everything I listen to.
Remember how Anderson got hurt? The Kreider.
Personally, I don't think Crosby or Anderson deserves an award because they missed so much time, but it sounds like the NHL people are serious about them both being candidates.
No doubt that Anderson has played great against the Rangers.
But he's not a goalie that can strike fear into the hearts of opponents llike Lundqvist and/or Quick. Against these types of goalies, it can become a psychological thing for the other team.
Thanks, Doodie. I never knew that before (S)
Carey Price was a Vezina candidate for the first few months of the season. He has a good track record. So that's fine. Holtby on the other hand, I hate losing to. Hate it. So much it makes my face burn.
Manny, 6 more games in this shortened season is like 10 more games in a regular season.
Crawford is on pace for about 51 games. Rask is on pace for about 62.
For me, I've always had a "60 game rule" when it came to the Vezina. I know voters haven't, but even still, the lowest number of games played in the past 20 years for a Vezina winner was Tim Thomas with 57. That's still more than Crawford's current pace.
*new CONTEST post, Manny.*
That's it. I hate cursive and I hate all of you. I'm never coming back to school. NEVER!

The exhibition 'Design in Rotterdam. 25 Years City Collection' illustrates the city's outspoken character through highlights from the museum's design collection. The objects on display were designed over the past 25 years for or in Rotterdam, including lamps by Henk Elenga, the 'Random Chair' by Bertjan Pot, and furniture from the '89' collection by Joep van Lieshout.
The objects are grouped into five themes: Big, Forward, Minimal, Do and Individual. Each theme represents a particular aspect of Rotterdam's character and together they tell the story of design developments in the city over the past 25 years. To underline the connection with Rotterdam, the objects are accompanied by poems read by Rotterdam-based poets such as Jules Deelder and Rien Vroegindeweij. The rhythms and images of these poems elucidate the qualities of the collection.
'Big' typifies the designs created in Rotterdam in the late 1980s and 1990s. Rotterdam's ambition was to become an international and cosmopolitan city. Many designers and architects became fascinated by metropolitan culture and attempted to represent it. The exhibition includes the first issues of the magazine 'Hard Werken' and a drawing by Rem Koolhaas and Madelon Vriesendorp, 'The Arrival of the Floating Pool', which depicts the miraculous achievements of architecture in the big city.
'Forward' includes work by Rotterdam-based designers and artists who reject all established notions. It is a characteristic of a city that no longer has a classic centre. Rotterdammers survive by not relating to the past. The '89' collection by Joep van Lieshout is a series of sculptures that the artist presented in 1989 as a collection of furniture in standard sizes and colours. In this way his artworks undermined the prevailing norms in the art world.
'Do' is another of Rotterdam's characteristics. Standing up for yourself was the driving force of Rotterdam's Punk and New Wave scenes in the 1970s and 1980s. This stance remains at the centre of the city's cultural life. Experimenting with new materials and self-production results in new products. This section includes the 'Excavated Vase' by Bertjan Pot, the Bellflower by Studio Wieki Somers, and a cast-resin cabinet by Vincent de Rijk.
'Minimal' is a characteristic we see in Rotterdam's need to be clear and pithy. This is evident not only in the Functionalist architecture of the early twentieth century but also in current designs, including Chris Kabel's 'Wood Ring' (2010): by cutting wedge-shaped sections from a straight beam, the wooden elements form a perfect ring.
'Individual' shows how the uniformity of the city awakens the desire to make your own voice heard. As a melting pot of different cultures, in Rotterdam this voice is highly diverse. Since the 1990s designers such as Hella Jongerius, Jurgen Bey and Christien Meindertsma have been telling their highly personal stories, such as the provenance of the materials in 'Urchin Pouf', a new idea about modern working in 'EarChair', or the quest for an individual signature in industrial production in the 'Worker' chair by Hella Jongerius.
Atelier Van Lieshout, Bas van Beek, Chris Kabel, Gerard Hadders, Rem Koolhaas, Henk Elenga, Joep van Lieshout, Jan Konings, Jongeriuslab, MNO, Richard Hutten, Studio Bertjan Pot, Studio Makkink & Bey, Ton Haas, Tomá Libertíny.

> Petroamerica provides an update of its drilling and testing activities in Colombia
Petroamerica provides an update of its drilling and testing activities in Colombia
Friday, Jan 25, 2013
CALGARY, Jan. 24, 2013 /CNW/ - Petroamerica Oil Corp. (TSX-V:PTA)
("Petroamerica" or the "Company"), a junior oil and gas company operating in Colombia is pleased to provide an update of certain drilling and testing results from its wells in Colombia. The Company is currently participating in three wells for which results have recently become available: the Las Maracas-7 appraisal well on the Las Maracas Field, Los Ocarros Block, the Balay-4 appraisal well on the Balay Block, and the Altillo Oeste-1 exploration well on the CPO-1 Block.
The Las Maracas-7 well has successfully confirmed the southern extension of the Las Maracas Field. It was drilled 400m south from the Las Maracas-6 well, and encountered potential net oil pay in the Mirador, main Gacheta and basal Gacheta sands. The well was cased-off and is expected to be completed as a Gacheta producer using a work over rig. The Tuscany 109 rig used to drill the Las Maracas-7 well is currently drilling a water disposal well down to the Carbonera C1 formation following which the rig is expected to move off location. Drilling activity on the field is expected to recommence during the second quarter of
this year. The field is currently producing approximately 8,500 barrels of oil per day ("bopd") gross with a total field water cut of less than 2%, and it is anticipated that production will remain at these levels until the permanent production facility becomes operational sometime during the second quarter of this year.
The Balay-4 well has reached its total depth, is cased-off and is currently undergoing testing with plans to bring this well on as a commercial producer using an electro-submersible pump. The principal objective, the Upper Mirador sand producing at Balay-1 and Balay-2, tested at stabilized flow rates of approximately 544 bopd of light oil (28 degree API) under natural flow during the last six hours of a 48-hour test, and a maximum flow rate of 1,173 bopd. The total water cut at the end of the test was around 20% with the well still cleaning up. The top of the producing Mirador formation came in 45 feet higher than expected, and 25 feet higher than the nearest well, Balay-1. Further testing and drilling will be required to determine the full southern extent of the Balay Field. A test from the Une formation recovered 435 barrels of fluid per day of which 47 bopd were 33.5 degree API light oil (89% water cut) and a test from the Lower Mirador formation recovered mostly water with only minor amounts of oil.
On the CPO-1 Block, the Altillo Oeste-1 well has been plugged and abandoned after encountering only minor oil shows in the primary reservoir objective. The Company believes that the trap integrity was compromised by the fault not forming an effective seal. The results of the Altillo Oeste-1 well does not downgrade the remaining prospectivity on the block and Petroamerica and its partner Meta Petroleum Corp. are considering the possibility to enter into the second phase of the contract and drill another exploration well on the block at the end of 2013. Petroamerica acquired its participating interest in this block
through a farmout agreement with Meta Petroleum Corp. and Petroamerica´s participation in this block is subject to approval by the Colombian National Hydrocarbon Agency (ANH).
Petroamerica holds a 50% participating interest in the Los Ocarros Block where the Las Maracas Field is located, 15% in the Balay Block where the Balay field is located and 50% in the CPO-1 Block.
About Petroamerica:
Petroamerica Oil Corp. is a junior oil and gas exploration and production
company with activities in Colombia. Petroamerica produces approximately 4,000 barrels of oil per day from two oil discoveries, has one new discovery under appraisal and has interests in seven exploration blocks, all located in Colombia's Llanos Basin. Petroamerica's shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "PTA".

Zimbabwe and Pakistan skippers look forward to the Coca-Cola Test match with a mutual sense of optimism and vigilance.
Definitely complacency will not be a facet in today's encounter, as they expressed.

We've always loved modern high chairs but they tend to be on the squint-your-eyes- as-you-hand-your-credit-card-over side of things. Even so, the cheap plastic versions aren't a very appealing alternative when you consider the damage to the planet– and your home decor. (Sorry, but it's true. Some of those things are heinous!)
So Svan, makers of the beloved Svan high chair, did the smart thing and came out with a more affordable modern high chair in the Anka.
Made from sustainable wood with kid-safe finishes and complete with a pba and phtalate-free washable tray, the Anka comes in at a very respectable $170-ish for a modern wooden high chair. But you're not giving up much– this chair not only looks sleek, it folds up in a sec when you're not using it, making it great for smaller kitchens or the grandparents' house.
I love that you can start using the Anka high chair at six months, remove the tray to turn it into a booster, and adjust it to hold kids up to 50 lbs. Although frankly, if your kid is still in a high chair at 50 lbs, you might want to ease up on the french fries. –Liz
Find the Anka high chair at fantastic sale prices right now at albee baby or find a store near you.
Congratulations to Anka high chair winner Lori S!

rotate() method??
Hello i have a problem rotating an image.
when i compile this code it gives me the "Cannot find symbol error" at tells it can't find the rotate() method.
i have seen the rotate() method beeing used several times around the internet, so i don't understand this error.
So is there anyone who can tell why??
Java Code:import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; public class Xample extends JFrame{ public String txt="star.png"; public Image image; Xample(){ ImageIcon imi = new ImageIcon(this.getClass().getResource(txt)); image = imi.getImage(); setSize(200,200); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setVisible(true); } public Image getImage(){ return image; } public void paint(Graphics g){ super.paint(g); Graphics g2d = (Graphics)g; g2d.rotate(1); g2d.drawImage(image,100,100,this); } public static void main(String[] s){ Xample app = new Xample(); } }
Re: rotate() method??
The rotate() method is in the Graphics2D class. You've stored your Graphics2D as its parent class, Graphics, so you don't have access to that method. Fix your cast.

LAWRENCE, Kansas (AP) – University of Kansas police say crime at the school last year was down significantly from the year before.
The university's public safety office says it handled 670 criminal offenses during 2013, compared with 818 the previous year.
Violent crimes accounted for only 1 percent of all offenses, while property crimes such theft and burglary made up the majority.
There were 36 burglaries reported in 2013, including 10 auto burglaries.
Campus police chief Ralph Oliver says increased use of closed-circuit cameras on campus allows his department to monitor parking lots for suspicious activity.

Custom Rose Gold and Diamond Engagement Ring
This ring was custom built for a client right here in Washington State. Tired of her old jewelry, she brought a few pieces to our Bellevue store to see if we could breathe new life into them. We were able to remove the diamonds from her unwanted pieces and re-set them into this beautiful orbit ring, giving her the exciting and modern look she was searching for.
People appreciate the aesthetic of this ring for its fascinating simplicity. Without engraving or filigree, the three bands on this piece have a boldness about them that draws the eye. Combined with the pleasing placement of the seven round brilliant cut diamonds, it's a surprisingly straightforward ring that makes a statement the equal of a far more elaborate piece. Consider using a similar model when you're looking for a unique, modern engagement ring.
This design can be customized to use any precious metal that might suit your taste. For this project, the customer chose 14k rose gold. The strong, rose color of the gold serves to contrast the lighter shades of the diamonds, adding a bit of pop to the piece. Imagine what your own favorite metal might look like in the shank, and how you might complement it with a pleasing set of gemstones.
For more information on customization options, consult Joseph Jewelry's custom design jeweler.

Subject: | Re: My name in Japanese |
Author: | Phyllis (guest, 22.214.171.124) |

Reply to: | My name in Japanese by Robinson Diaz |
First, a minor note: we RARELY e-mail anybody unless we offer the intended recipient the chance for "personal" e-mail.Okay, concerning your name: do you want the "translation" of your name in Japanese or do you want the katakana of your name? Besides, the Japanese would use your patronym with the honorific "san" (in your case, it would be Diaz-san.) It is true of ALL "foreign" names, if not ALL names, period.

Testing for convergence: evidence from non-parametric multimodality tests
The convergence hypothesis in growth theory implies that the frequency of the density distribution of GDP in a cross-section of countries tends to approach unimodality as we move forward in time. The convergence theory in a cross-section of 119 countries is tested by means of bootstrap multimodality tests and non parametric density estimation techniques. By looking at the density distribution of GDP across countries in 1970, 1980 and 1989, increasing evidence for bimodality is found. The finding stands in contrast with the convergence prediction.

Enzyme Development Corp. (EDC), New York, N.Y., has announced a partnership with Fytozimus Biotech, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. EDC will introduce Fytozimus Biotech's Aspartic Acid Protease to the U.S. market.
Both companies are involved with plant-extracted enzymes. The Aspartic Acid Protease is extracted from the flower of Cynara cardunculus, a variety of thistle and a relative of the artichoke plant. The enzyme extracted is primarily a milk-clotting enzyme that can be used in cheese making. It is popular in Portugal and Spain and has been used since Roman times to create cheeses without animal-based rennet.
Both companies anticipate that a natural, non-GMO, vegetable-derived protease will offer unique opportunities to U.S. food processing companies beyond the traditional milk-clotting action.

A 133-113 victory can go a long way to lift a team's spirits, evidenced by the upbeat mood in the Suns locker room Friday night.
"I think I'm the only player," Shaquille O'Neal said, "who looks at each and every center in the league and says, 'That's barbecue chicken down there."
Leandro Barbosa was giggling about the fan who nailed a $77,777 half-court shot in the second quarter and then rushed over to hug the Suns guard.
"That was crazy," he said.
Yes, it was a victory over a Toronto team with a losing record, but the Suns needed it. They are about to embark on a brutal stretch: the Lakers at home, then a road swing that includes games against Orlando, Miami, Houston and San Antonio. They don't play a team that does not own a playoff spot until March 14. That's seven consecutive games against teams with winning records.
If they perform the way they did Friday, they could keep themselves in the postseason hunt. O'Neal, who turns 37 next week, and Grant Hill, 36, played like they were 10 years younger.
O'Neal scored 45 points in his biggest offensive outing in six years. Hill posted 14 points and 12 assists, just two short of an assist record he logged more than 10 years ago.
Don't call him Over-the Hill just yet.
Hill's effort included a soaring-through-traffic dunk in the second quarter that prompted his teammates to charge from the bench to high-five him.
"I think they got excited because they don't expect it," Hill said, smiling.
"He had the guys going, 'Detroit '96,' which reminds you of just how long it's been," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said about Hill's Pistons playing days. "We tried to take him out of a position where he's just banging underneath, and I think that helped him a lot."
O'Neal had his share of fountain-of-youth moments, too, playing 35 minutes while diving into the crowd for loose balls. He had not scored that many points since he posted 48 for the Los Angels Lakers on March 21, 2003. He also had 11 rebounds.
The Suns took on the Raptors without point guard Steve Nash, who was nursing a sprained ankle for the second consecutive game.
Ultimately, having O'Neal and Hill leading the way proved to be enough. That's because the Suns rarely had to shoot from outside, scoring 90 of their points in the paint, compared to 36 by the Raptors.
The first half was a tale of two streaks. The Suns went on a 10-0 run in the second quarter to take a 66-54 lead. Toronto responded with a run of its own, outscoring the Suns 11-0 to take a 69-68 advantage early in the third.
The Suns picked up the pace in the third quarter with the help of Louis Amundson, who came off the bench to finish with a career-high 20 points.
The Suns sealed the victory with a 21-8 run late in the third quarter and early in the fourth.
The victory was the Suns' 10th in a row against Toronto.
Key player
There were several, but the Suns wouldn't have won this game without Shaquille O'Neal's domination inside. He finished with 45 points in 35 minutes.
Key moment
Grant Hill's driving-through-traffic dunk with 2:39 remaining in the second quarter energized the crowd and his teammates.
Key number
80: Percentage of field goals made by O'Neal, who shot 20 of 25 from the field.
The Suns might want to consider signing Rhett Brown for some outside shooting assistance.
The Seattle resident and Suns fan is $77,777 richer after hitting Casino Arizona's Lucky 7's Shootout halfcourt shot midway through the second quarter.
Brown, 43, who was plucked from the crowd, went old school with an underhand attempt. Afterward, he jumped into the arms of the Gorilla. Can you blame him?

"Improved confidence among U.S. retailers, newly added port customers, and shifting cargo from U.S. West to East Coast ports are all fueling the growing cargo volumes at Georgia's deepwater ports," said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "Savannah has the space to more than double its throughput as more shippers choose East Coast ports to serve the fast-growing Southeastern U.S."
GPA surpassed its previous twenty-foot equivalent units record set in May by 3,453 units. The July TEU performance was up 47,237 TEUs compared to July 2013. Since January, the Port of Savannah has averaged 269,688 TEUs per month.
In overall trade, 2.52 million tons of cargo moved across GPA docks in July, up 12.8% or 287,600 tons compared to the same month a year ago. Of that figure, container trade accounted for 2.14 million tons, up 15.7% from the 1.85 million tons of containerized goods GPA moved in July 2013.
In roll-on/roll-off traffic, the GPA moved 61,860 units of autos and heavy machinery, up 8.5% or 4,870 compared to the same period last year. In the broader breakbulk category, throughput reached 226,493 tons, up 7% from the 211,638 tons moved last July.
The Journal of Commerce reports this news comes as recent figures show East Coast ports are slowly taking business away from West Coast competitors, gaining a 0.3% market share in the first half of the year.
Some caution the move could be due to labor contract talks between West Coast dockworkers and terminal operators, with shippers afraid of possible disruptions or slowdowns, however JOC cited data showing East Coast ports have increased their first half of the year share of the market 1.8 percentage points since 2010.
I pass through Savannah every two if not every year and never realized the magnatude of the operation. Thanks for the article
That's great news. Now if they can only put their money where their mouth is. The roads leading in and out of the port, have improved but not at the capacity of the Savannah ports tonnage increases. More needs to be done to address the main corridors for moving the containers in and out of the Savannah port. Let's get busy and fulfill all our obligations to southeaster region.

These Lemon Cheesecakes are so pretty to look at. But more importantly, they are delicious to eat. Each individual New York style cheesecake is set in a graham cracker crust and topped with a layer of creamy smooth lemon curd. I especially like how the tanginess of the lemon curd offsets the richness of the cheesecake filling. Excellent plain, but also very good with a medley of fresh berries.
Lemon Curd is a thick, soft and velvety cream that has a wonderful tart yet sweet citrus flavor. It is made with eggs, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and unsalted butter. It is similar to a lemon filling or custard in that it is cooked on the stove yet it does not contain a thickener such as cornstarch (corn flour). We are going to cook the curd in a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water (a double boiler). This method does take a little longer, but it helps prevent the eggs from curdling which gives the curd all those annoying little specks of cooked egg. Once the lemon curd has become nice and thick (like hollandaise), remove it from the heat and strain to remove any lumps that may have formed. Then stir in the butter and lemon zest and you're done. Cover immediately with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. You will find that the lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools. In order for the lemon curd to be at the right pouring consistency, you need it to be thick, but still thin enough to spread easily over the chilled cheesecakes. Now, if you like you can make the lemon curd a few days before using, but bring it to room temperature and than whisk to remove any lumps before spreading on the cheesecakes. If the lemon curd is still too thick to pour easily, gently heat in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water just until pourable.

No Bake Cheesecake
Chocolate Cheesecake
Cheesecakes: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) and place oven rack in the center of the oven. Line 12 muffin cups with paper or foil liners.
Individual Cheesecakes Video
For Crust: In a small bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press a heaping tablespoon of crumbs onto the bottoms of the 12 muffin cups. Cover and refrigerate while you make the filling.
For Filling: In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the cream cheese on low speed until creamy and smooth. Add the sugar and salt and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream and beat until incorporated. Remove the crusts from the refrigerator and evenly divide the filling among the 12 muffin cups.
Bake for about 18 - 22 minutes or until firm but the centers of the cheesecakes still wobble a little. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Let cool and then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Lemon Curd Video
Lemon Curd: In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon juice until blended. Cook, stirring constantly (to prevent it from curdling), until the mixture becomes thick (like sour cream or a hollandaise sauce) (160 degrees F or 71 degrees C). This will take approximately 10 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the lemon zest and cover immediately to prevent a skin from forming. Let cool until it of pouring consistency.
To Serve: Once the cheesecakes have been chilled, pour a heaping tablespoon of the lemon curd on top of each cheesecake. Gently smooth the lemon curd to form an even layer. Cover and return to the refrigerator for several hours or even overnight. To serve, gently remove the paper liners. If desired, use a small metal spatula, that has been dipped in hot water and wiped dry, to smooth the sides of the cheesecakes. The cheesecakes can be stored for several days in the refrigerator.
Makes 12 individual cheesecakes.

Today the World Intellectual Property Organization's (WIPO's) Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) adopted a recommendation to the WIPO General Assembly to reconvene a diplomatic conference on the Treaty for the Protection of Audiovisual Performances, which was suspended in 2000 after a deadlock was reached on several crucial issues. In making the recommendation, the SCCR also approved consensus language on the transfer of rights, the primary issue that had previously prevented the conclusion of a treaty.
The consensus proposal was the result of extensive efforts by the a coalition of delegations, including India, Mexico, and the United States, with cooperation from Brazil, the European Union, and Nigeria, among other delegations. Key to this successful result have been the extensive efforts of the delegation from the International Federation of Actors (FIA), led by General Secretary Dominick Luquer and Screen Actors Guild Senior Adviser John McGuire. The delegation also included participants from AFTRA as well as actors unions from Canada, Australia, Denmark, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
SAG DNED & General Counsel Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, a participant in the FIA delegation, said, "All actors should be proud of the extensive and successful efforts of the FIA delegation to WIPO. While there is far to go before a treaty is concluded, today's action was a crucial step forward toward establishing protection for actors at the international level. We look forward to continuing to pursue full recognition of audiovisual performers' rights everywhere in the world."
The SCCR's recommendation will be considered by the WIPO General Assembly at its regular meeting in September in Geneva, Switzerland.

HI all,
I have establish a screening strategy to fish out those miRNAs that target my gene. I have fused the 3"UTR (of my gene of interest) to EGFP and expressed under CMV promoter. On the other hand, I cloned the pri-miRNA (flanked with 250bp)into the intron of dsRED (expressed under CMV promoter). So, I am able to use dsRED as the indication of miRNA expression and EGFP as my reporter. This systme work well and I verified my result with luciferase assay and WB. The problem is, since last month, I failed to reproduce the result. Everything I used is the same, same plasmid same 293T cells, same reagent. There is no downregulation anymore for my positive control. Could anyone help me to troubleshoot???
Thanks a lot
Wen Hao.

I was just thinking of Lucas's little ole repeating themes habit and wondering if there will be Grand Entrance of a character and who it will be, like Vader's in RotJ? I was thinking it would probably be either Anakin or possibly Yoda!
Seeing as the start of the movie will open with the last battle of the Clone Wars and Ben would be a General I thought it would play out perfectly..:
{Yodas theme}{exterior:space} A small cargo shuttle hovers over the lush green planet of Kashyyyk with two new single man fighters waiting in escort.{Interior:shuttle} The pilot sits waiting, thumbing the controls now with a sudden objective!
Pilot: "The Ambassador is through waiting, what should I tell him?"
Voice over intercom: "We have confirmation of your code clearence the sheild will be down, tell the Ambassador he may start his entry and we will be happy for his assistance."
{Exterior:landing platform} As the shuttle slowly comes to rest, General Kenobi approaches walking sternly and stops in anticipation, just close enough to allow the landing ramp to lower. Kenobi start as the diminutive figure slowly makes his way down the ramp.
General Kenobi: "It's a great pleasure to see you again my master!""Everyone is anxiously expecting you!"
Master Yoda: "Have time for pleasantries, we do not, Master Kenobi." "Take me to forward command you must."
General Kenobi: "The wookies are a formidable ally Master, although some have been taken into camps, we have just regained the sheild generator as you know, so we can keep out any more of the seperatist forces; and retook control of the wookies armoury."Unfortunately Master, the Mandalores are also quite formidable, and there has been reports that some of the captives are being scalped if they don't provide information."
Master Yoda:{shaking head} "Terrible and disturbing this news is." "Fail we must not!" "Depend on this, everything does."
General Kenobi: "Yes, Master" "Cheif Lokkie has four battalions of clones and 6 Wookie tribes at your disposale."
Mater Yoda: "Excellent General, may the Force be with all of us." "This Cheif Lokkie I will now meet."
