What are flower essences?
Flower essences are herbal infusions or decoctions, made from the flowering part of the plant, which uniquely address emotional and mental aspects of wellness. The first 38 flower remedies were formulated by a British physician, Dr. Edward Bach, in the 1930's, although new remedies from other plant species are now available.
How do I use flower essences ?
They are typically taken orally from a dropper bottle; the standard dosage is four drops four times daily. You can take the drops directly from stock bottles available in stores; mix them in a glass of water; or make a dosage bottle by mixing several drops with water and brandy (typically 1/4 ounce) in a one ounce dropper bottle. When mixing in a dosage bottle or glass of water, take two drops from each essence selected. There are many others ways of using them, such as in misting sprayers, in a cream base, or in baths.
Water, brandy, infusion (1,6000) of allium sativum flowers organic and biodynamic.
Add 2 drops to water and take 4 times daily.

The full title of this PAR is "Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Timing and Synchronization for Time-Sensitive Applications in Bridged Local Area Networks".
This standard specifies the protocol and procedures used to ensure that the synchronization requirements are met for time sensitive applications, such as audio and video, across Bridged and Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks consisting of LAN media where the transmission delays are fixed and symmetrical; for example, IEEE 802.3 full duplex links. This includes the maintenance of synchronized time during normal operation and following addition, removal, or failure of network components and network reconfiguration. It specifies the use of IEEE 1588 specifications where applicable in the context of IEEE Stds 802.1D and 802.1Q. Synchronization to an externally provided timing signal (e.g., a recognized timing standard such as UTC or TAI) is not part of this standard but is not precluded.
This standard enables stations attached to bridged LANs to meet the respective jitter, wander, and time synchronization requirements for time-sensitive applications.

saned - SANE network daemon
saned [ -a [ username ] | -d [ n ] | -s [ n ] ]
saned is the SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) daemon that allows remote clients to access image acquisition devices available on the local host.
The -a flag requests that saned run in standalone daemon mode. In this mode, saned will detach from the console and run in the background, listening for incoming client connections; inetd is not required for saned operations in this mode. If the optional username is given after -a , saned will drop root privileges and run as this user (and group). The -d and -s flags request that saned run in debug mode (as opposed to inetd(8) mode). In this mode, saned explicitly waits for a connection request. When compiled with debugging enabled, these flags may be followed by a number to request debug info. The larger the number, the more verbose the debug output. E.g., -d128 will request printing of all debug info. Debug level 0 means no debug output at all. The default value is 2. If flag -d is used, the debug messages will be printed to stderr while -s requests using syslog. If saned is run from inetd or xinetd, no option can be given.
First and foremost: saned is not intended to be exposed to the internet or other non-trusted networks. Make sure that access is limited by tcpwrappers and/or a firewall setup. Don't depend only on saned's own authentication. Don't run saned as root if it's not necessary. And do not install saned as setuid root. The saned.conf configuration file contains both options for the daemon and the access list. data_portrange = min_port - max_port Specify the port range to use for the data connection. Pick a port range between 1024 and 65535; don't pick a too large port range, as it may have performance issues. Use this option if your saned server is sitting behind a firewall. If that firewall is a Linux machine, we strongly recommend using the Netfilter nf_conntrack_sane module instead. The access list is a list of host names, IP addresses or IP subnets (CIDR notation) that are permitted to use local SANE devices. IPv6 addresses must be enclosed in brackets, and should always be specified in their compressed form. Connections from localhost are always permitted. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash mark (#) are ignored. A line containing the single character ''+'' is interpreted to match any hostname. This allows any remote machine to use your scanner and may present a security risk, so this shouldn't be used unless you know what you're doing. A sample configuration file is shown below: # Daemon options data_portrange = 10000 - 10100 # Access list scan-client.somedomain.firm # this is a comment 192.168.0.1 192.168.2.12/29 [::1] [2001:7a8:185e::42:12]/64 The case of the host names does not matter, so AHost.COM is considered identical to ahost.com.
For saned to work properly in its default mode of operation, it is also necessary to add a configuration line to /etc/inetd.conf. Note that your inetd must support IPv6 if you want to connect to saned over IPv6 ; xinetd and openbsd-inetd are known to support IPv6, check the documentation for your inetd daemon. The configuration line normally looks like this: sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/saned saned However, if your system uses tcpd(8) for additional security screening, you may want to disable saned access control by putting ''+'' in saned.conf and use a line of the following form in /etc/inetd.conf instead: sane-port stream tcp nowait saned.saned /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/saned Note that both examples assume that there is a saned group and a saned user. If you follow this example, please make sure that the access permissions on the special device are set such that saned can access the scanner (the program generally needs read and write access to scanner devices). If xinetd is installed on your system instead of inetd the following example for xinetd.conf may be helpful: # default: off # description: The sane server accepts requests # for network access to a local scanner via the # network. service sane-port { port = 6566 socket_type = stream wait = no user = saned group = saned server = /usr/sbin/saned } Finally, it is also necessary to add a line of the following form to /etc/services: sane-port 6566/tcp # SANE network scanner daemon The official IANA short name for port 6566 is "sane-port". The older name "sane" is now deprecated.
/etc/hosts.equiv The hosts listed in this file are permitted to access all local SANE devices. Caveat: this file imposes serious security risks and its use is not recommended. /etc/sane.d/saned.conf Contains a list of hosts permitted to access local SANE devices (see also description of SANE_CONFIG_DIR below). /etc/sane.d/saned.users If this file contains lines of the form user:password:backend access to the listed backends is restricted. A backend may be listed multiple times for different user/password combinations. The server uses MD5 hashing if supported by the client.
SANE_CONFIG_DIR This environment variable specifies the list of directories that may contain the configuration file. Under UNIX, the directories are separated by a colon (':'), under OS/2, they are separated by a semi-colon (';'). If this variable is not set, the configuration file is searched in two default directories: first, the current working directory (".") and then in /etc/sane.d. If the value of the environment variable ends with the directory separator character, then the default directories are searched after the explicitly specified directories. For example, setting SANE_CONFIG_DIR to "/tmp/config:" would result in directories "tmp/config", ".", and "/etc/sane.d" being searched (in this order).

The one to get! Professional look, feel, and performance. Large, heavy base is stable and stays put. The 7.5-inch cast-iron burner fits the bottom of my 10-inch T-FAL skillet perfectly, heats evenly, and quickly fries fish at less than max setting.Transitioning from propane, I had to adjust to the slower heat-up and cool-down, but that was expected. The cast-iron retains so much heat that you can turn it off several minutes before cooking is done. Not very time- or energy-efficient for very short cook-times like eggs for one, but is perfect for your 10-minute meals, and should handle any task, even large stew pots and pressure-canners.The Extra Burner exceeded my expectations and is now my Main burner -- and I'll not be refilling that big propane tank!

About Me Avid Cook
I recently bought an induction range and had to buy new induction pots. To continue to use the pots and pans and pressure cooker that are used with regular cooking range, I purchased the Waring Pro Extra Burner. After turning off the unit, sometimes there is so much residual heat (strictly depends upon the amount of use time) that one can boil a small pot of water. The product is great and excellent for our purposes.
Service and delivery comments:
Our online order was processed promptly and the prodcut was delivered on time (within three days of ordering even though it was free delivery). The product box was packaged in another box with filler so there was absolutely no damage to the product.

We got this to use at a cabin that doesn't have a stove and it's worked great. Soups, chili and stew heats up quickly and it cooks eggs great. I would highly recommend this burner.
Great Burner
By Mama

I use this burner upstairs in the secondary kitchen and it's great; I also have cooked a large meal with my two burners. I like the solid burner plates. It cooks evenly and fast. Thanks for a great product.
Best Ever
By Moms cooking
from Winnetka, Ca
I have owned many single and double burners and this one is by far the best. It heats quickly and has reliable settings. It distributes heat evenly even with a large dutch oven on it. I use it daily. I live in a tiny apt. without a stove and this product works well for my situation. [...] I hope you will continue to make this product.I will recommend it to everyone I know.I chose this model because of the flat burner. No more messes with ring burners.
Does exactly what I expected it to.
By Cliff5119
from St. Petersburg, Fl
It heats up quickly. Boils water easily, which many other products out there do not do. It is solid. Doesn't feel like a cheap piece of junk.

Good Little Burner, Not Quite Hot Enough
By Sunshine
from Middle Tennessee
This is a great little extra burner. However, I purchased it for canning because I have a glass top stove which I prefer not to use for canning. My old hot plates didn't work at all. This one works, but it takes a long time to boil so much water. I still have to boil the water on my range and pour into the canning pot on the burner. However, I think it is probably the best of its type on the market. It's small enough to fit on my counter for an extra burner at holiday time, and I know I'll use it then. I'm glad I bought it. Just wish it was a little hotter.

A little bit misleading product.
By Ron the sailorman

From the description of the product I was led to believe that it was an induction heater. But it is not. I am not sure if the internal method of heating is done by induction. It really is a hot-plate. But it does the job of small electric burner.

Stray Dogs
Jiao You
Taiwan | 2013 | 138 minutes | Tsai Ming-Liang
Tsai Ming-Liang (The Wayward Cloud, Vive L'Amour) spins a compassionate, elegant, minimalist and visually powerful yarn about a poverty-stricken alcoholic and his family living on the margins of Taipei society.

When Tsai Ming-liang's Stray Dogs premiered at the Venice Film Festival, there were intimations that it would be the director's final feature. The anguished reaction was muted by overwhelming agreement, capped with the awarding of the festival's Grand Special Jury Prize, that if one of cinema's masters must retire he at least was leaving in sublime fashion, gracing us with another towering achievement. Tsai mainstay Lee Kang-sheng stars as an alcoholic on the margins of Taipei society, collecting what little he can earn as a human billboard and turning it over to his two children before he drinks it away. The young boy and girl (played by Lee's own niece and nephew, and Tsai's godchildren) spend their days wandering and cadging food from supermarket samples. Weaving in and out of their lives are three women whose relationship to the father is impossible to determine, but whose protective tenderness toward the children is clear. Rumors of Tsai's retirement were thankfully premature, making this merely his latest masterpiece, not his last; a miracle of empathic filmmaking, with Tsai's masterfully composed shots holding their length past novelty or hypnotic fascination, till we're submerged in nearly psychic communion with the lives glowing on his screen.
Director Biography
After moving to Taipei, Malaysian-born film director Tsai Ming-Liang graduated from the Chinese Culture University and then began his filmmaking career with television movies in 1989. He became a member of the Berlin Film Festival jury in 1995, and continued to make widely acclaimed films in his unique observational and slow-paced style. UK newspaper The Guardian voted Malaysian-born film director Tsai Ming-Liang as one of the top 40 living directors.

New pastel portraits by American singer Bob Dylan will go on show for the first time at London's National Portrait Gallery next month, the gallery said on Monday.
The 12 new works in the "Bob Dylan Face Value" exhibition in September represent the latest portrait studies from the "Blowin' in the Wind" singer who has sketched and drawn since childhood, but only began exhibiting six years ago.
The portraits represent characters, with an amalgamation of features Dylan has collected from life, memory, and his imagination and fashioned into people, some real and some fictitious.

NY Appeals Court Upholds Fracking Bans
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - A mid-level appeals court says New York municipalities can use local zoning laws to ban the use of hydraulic fracturing to drill for natural gas.
The four-judge appellate division panel ruled unanimously Thursday that state mining and drilling law doesn't trump the authority of local governments to control land use.
The case of Norse Energy Corp.'s challenge to a ban in the Tompkins County town of Dryden has been closely watched by industry hoping to drill in New York's piece of the Marcellus Shale formation and opponents of the technology known as "fracking." Environmentalists fear drilling could threaten water supplies and public health.
In a separate ruling based on the Dryden decision, the court upheld a ban in Middlefield in Otsego County.
A message left for Norse's lawyer wasn't initially returned.

In the Words of the Sanghāta:
The speech of buddhas is profound;
Sarva-shúra, listen to me:
The Sangháta Sutra is a teacher,
manifesting in the form of a sage.
The Sangháta manifests, out of kindness,
even bodies of buddhas.
As many grains of sand as the Ganges
in just that many forms it teaches.
It teaches in the form of a Buddha.
It teaches even the essence of Dharma.
Who wishes to see a Buddha,
Sangháta is equivalent to a Buddha.
Wherever the Sangháta is,
always there the Buddha is.

Luanda don't think so...
Trip Start
Sep 05, 2012
Trip End
Dec 22, 2012
So hungry (bearing in mind the food last night may have been... the second one, if you know what I mean!). So we stop at the side of the road 50km, enjoy the peace and quite and russle up a corned beef sandwich... amazing what tastes good when you're starving!
Haha refer to picture!
Luanda was the typical african city traffic hell! Streets flooding with sewage and we luckily get to swash around in it! Found the ktm dealership but they never had an adventure through and they don't habla any anglais! I decide to get over my paranoia and move on... Especially when they charge $35 for chain lube...eh! Angola is expensive!
We headed out of town and stopped for a photo when we met a group of angolans taking some japanese tourists around (haha they wanted a photo of us) We said we needed a place to stay and they recommended Kwanza lodge!
Beautiful place where the Kwanza river meets the sea. $100 per night - waaay over budget but we decide we deserve it an stay for 2!
Pleased to have some "normal" food, hot water and proper bed but I can't help feeling anxious that a bit of the adventure may come to an end...is it civilisation from here on in?
Have we gone to fast?
We can definitely turn left at Namibia and cross to the east coast... Now we are going to search for our adventures!
Oh dear... Can I go back?

On the November 7th ballot, North Boone School District 200 will ask voters for its seventh referendum request since March 2000. So why is the district going back to the voters for lucky number seven?
North Boone is the 78th fastest growing county in the entire United States. That means more and more students are flooding into the district's overcrowded schools.
The upcoming referendum will ask voters to approve the sale of ten million dollars in bonds. The sale would produce about eighteen million dollars to pay for 44 new classrooms and increase the district's capacity from around 1,700 students to 3,500.
Residents will pay off the bond payments over the next 20 years, similar to the process of a homeloan. North Boone School Superintendent Michael Houselog says because the district's population is growing so much, the payments will be spread out over enough people that there will be no need to increase taxes. In fact he said one year from now, someone living in a $100,000 homes should see taxes drop $14 a year.
Five of the last six referendums asking for funds to expand the district's schools have failed. Superintendent Houselog says the district will have to make damaging cuts if this one does not pass.
"What troubles us the most is that so many of these programs that we've added that have helped increase test scores, have helped increase educational opportunities for kids may be the first things to go," Houselog says.
The district has seven percent more students this year than last and counting. There are expected to be 5,100 new homes built in the area in the next decade. Superintendent Houselog says that will mean referendum number eight and beyond.

TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. - Crews were finally gaining ground by late Monday on a massive wildfire burning near Yosemite National Park as officials also expressed optimism that no water or power disruptions would come from the blaze burning along the shores of the main reservoir that supplies San Francisco.
While the fire continued to grow in size, containment numbers were up, as was the positivity that firefighters were making progress, said Glen Stratton, an operations section chief on the blaze.
"It looks great out there. No concerns," Stratton said of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
Nearly 3,700 firefighters battled the roughly 650-square-kilometre blaze, the biggest wildfire on record in California's Sierra Nevada. The fire was 20 per cent contained.
"It's been a real tiger," said Lee Bentley, fire spokesman for the U.S. Forest Service. "He's been going around trying to bite its own tail, and it won't let go but we'll get there."
While flames reached the edge of the reservoir, the chief source of San Francisco's famously pure drinking water, crews were confident they would be able to protect hydroelectric transmission lines and other utility facilities.
"I don't foresee any problems," Stratton said Monday night.
Utility officials monitored the basin's clarity and used a massive new $4.6 billion gravity-operated pipeline system to move water quickly to reservoirs closer to the big city.
So far the ash that has been raining onto the reservoir has not sunk as far as the intake valves, which are about halfway down the 100-metre O'Shaughnessy Dam. Utility officials said the ash is non-toxic but that the city will begin filtering water for customers if problems are detected.
Power generation at the reservoir was shut down last week so firefighters would not be imperilled by live wires. San Francisco is buying replacement power from other sources to run City Hall and municipal buildings.
It has been at least 17 years since fire ravaged the northernmost stretch of Yosemite that is under siege.
Park officials cleared brush and set sprinklers on two groves of giant sequoias that were less than 10 miles away from the fire's front lines, said park spokesman Scott Gediman. While sequoias have a chemical in their bark to help them resist fire, they can be damaged when flames move through slowly with such intense heat.
The fire has swept through steep Sierra Nevada river canyons and stands of thick oak and pine, closing in on Tuolumne City and other mountain communities. It has confounded ground crews with its 100-metre walls of flame and the way it has jumped from treetop to treetop.
Crews spent the day bulldozing firebreaks to protect Tuolumne City, several miles from the fire's edge.
Stratton said they would work through the night burning vegetation that could fuel the flames between the fire line and town. He said that while the community remains in harm's way, "I'm pretty optimistic."
Meanwhile, biologists with the Forest Service are studying the effect on wildlife. Much of the area that has burned is part of the state's winter-range deer habitat. Biologist Crispin Holland said most of the large deer herds would still be well above the fire danger.
Biologists discovered stranded western pond turtles on national forest land near the edge of Yosemite. Their marshy meadow had burned, and the surviving creatures were huddled in the middle of the expanse in what little water remained.
"We're hoping to deliver some water to those turtles," Holland said. "We might also drag some brush in to give them cover."
Wildlife officials were also trying to monitor at least four bald eagle nests in the fire-stricken area.
While it has put a stop to some backcountry hiking, the fire has not threatened the Yosemite Valley, where such sights as the Half Dome and El Capitan rock formations and Yosemite Falls draw throngs of tourists. Most of the park remained open to visitors.
The U.S. Forest Service said the fire was threatening about 4,500 structures and destroyed at least 23.
Rugged terrain, strong winds and bone-dry conditions have hampered firefighters' efforts to contain the blaze, which began Aug. 17. The cause has not been determined.

Invite from the Health Sciences Team
On the bristling cold morning of January 23rd, exactly one month prior to the opening reception for BMoCA's 2012 spring exhibition, I parked my truck in front of the studio and home of Viviane Le Courtois. About a week or so earlier I had received an email from the Museum highlighting the new exhibition Edible? and as a scientist who studies taste and health, I was more than stoked to find out more from the artist herself.
"What does it mean for something to be edible?" Le Courtois asks, gesturing towards the diverse objects that surround us in her studio space. She carries with her a French accent from growing up along the Brittany seaside, and in her hand grasps a iron mold of an artichoke. Beside her are boxes of handmade clay pots to be used during the exhibition for drinking herbal tea. Her petite form backs to a life-sized sculpture of an obese child, made from colorful mini marshmallows. Beneath her desk and on each windowsill are seedlings of herbs and sprouts.
I know the question is rhetorical, and yet I grasp for an answer, recalling what I have chosen to eat and what I have decided along the way was inedible. And I realize that the true answer is more personal than I'd imagined because it depends on your own unique perspective. This particular perspective is shaped by two things in your life: genetics and environment/experience.
Genetics. If you'll humor me in my favorite analogy (which I hope you'll find exceptionally appropriate to this post), your DNA is like a cookbook for your body. And like any good cookbook, your DNA contains recipes, about 25,000 recipes in fact. These recipes are called genes. Genes, like recipes, are specific instructions to tell your body how to make one important thing it needs to survive. These "things" are called proteins, and they are the mini machines in your cells that are responsible for how your body functions.
(Cartoon credits: http://education.technyou.edu.au/book/export/html/91)
So back to Edible? … there are approximately 60 genes* that are linked directly to your ability to perceive various taste qualities (sweet, sour, bitter, umami (think meat) and salt). These genes give the instructions for how to make proteins that act like gate keepers in the taste buds on your tongue. Depending on which of the 5 tastes we are talking about, these proteins either bind small food molecules or will let molecules into the taste cell (see oversimplified taste cell below). Once a taste cell is activated in either of these ways, it sends a signal to the brain about what the taste is and how strong it it-this is how genetics can affect your perception of what is edible and what is not. The brain then takes that message and acts on it. "Should I spit this out or should I eat more?"
Image Credit: http://www-psych.stanford.edu/~lera/psych115s/notes/lecture11/images/tstanat4.jpg
Environment/Experience. Thousands and thousands of years of evolution on both the genetics of taste and the way the brain responds to taste/consumption has put modern day populations in a sticky situation. We have been trained to crave umami, salt and especially sweet, with the goal of survival. The protein we eat is broken down in our digestive system into building blocks that will be used, based on the instructions from our genes, to make our own proteins. Salt is required for homeostasis (a balance in your body with the environment) and also provides the ions needed for the chemical reactions in your cells. And finally glucose- the simple carbohydrate that when combined with oxygen in the reaction of respiration makes the energy our body needs (and has the side products of water and carbon dioxide). During nomadic times of hunting and gathering, it was essential to find and consume foods that contained these necessary molecules. Because of this, we evolved to feel good not only when we eat these foods, literally, chemicals are released in the body akin to the experience of pleasure, but also in anticipation of eating these foods. Both can excite the reward center of the brain. This evolution of how our brains and bodies respond ensures survival, because it ensures we will repeat the activity that made us feel so good.
But what about now? As we have been wired based on survival in inhospitable environments, meats/ salt/sugar still excite the reward center of the brain. Yet our world is very different from that which we evolved. Industrialized nations have taken away much of the inconvenience and difficult work of finding food sources. There are convenience stores with prepackaged and highly processed food snacks and nearly a fast food chain on every other given intersection. And interestingly, a very cool research study published in 2008 shows that it is even worse than we thought. The reward center for obese teens is excited MORE in anticipation of food compared to lean teens. In contrast, the reward center for obese teens is excited LESS during actual consumption of the food compared to lean teens. So basically, obese children crave food more, but don't get the same pleasure hit when they eat compared to lean children. This means they have to eat more to get the same level of reward, making it very difficult to change unhealthy behaviors.
Read more about this study here.
On the flip side of the equation, foods that are bitter often elicit a response akin to repulsion. Yet there are entire families of vegetables that taste bitter. Depending on what was made available to you as child plays a large role in conditioning us to like healthier food choices, including bitter vegetables. It begs the question, "What are we making available to our kids?" Most neighborhoods don't have local grocery stores. Farm products don't have nearly the shelf live as processed products and require preparation, so aren't as enticing to buy. There is significant concern over urban and rural food deserts. And while urban gardening is on the rise in Denver, the idea of a backyard garden is not one that is considered broadly. Modern day environments, therefore, plays such a large role in perception, because where you grow up and how food was presented to you has long term effects on how you perceive foods and the habits you pass on to your children.
This dichotomy of taste perception and behavior is thoughtfully constructed in Le Courtois' studio. Figurines of obese children, made from candy and each with a unique colorful glaze, line up like militia on a side table. Drawn to the rainbow of colors, I ask what was used to give the sculptures such hues. She explains the process of melting down candy pieces and pouring the liquid into a hand-crafted mold. That's it. The simplicity strikes me, as does the implications. Many of the sculptures were made years ago, and yet look as if they were crafted only yesterday. The medium she chose, it turns out, is just as important as the content. I contemplate this as she shows me sketches of the exhibition install and describes the emphasis on experiencing both ends of the polarized food world. As the light moves in the studio, I know I must say my goodbyes and head back to the Museum. The seedlings pale green leaves glow with the sun's changing position and I notice the shadow is now moving across the army of candy children. I find myself thinking that the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts when art and science intersect in the realm of the human experience.

Preparing dinner last night , using squash from my end of summer harvest.
* A special thanks to Dr. Tom Finger of the Rocky Mountain Taste and Smell Center. He helped me roundout the estimation that there are over 30 genes related to taste receptors in taste buds, about 10 related to downstream signaling in taste cells, about another 10 related to ion channels, and loosely another 10 (although probably more) known to impact taste bud development.. for a estimated total of over 60 genes.

Cancer Gene Therapy by Nanotech Robots
It is shocking to hear how cancer gene therapy can be done through nanotech robots. A team of Caltech researchers have found a way to enter into patient's blood and into tumors through tiny nanoparticles which delivers therapy and turns off an important cancer gene.
The team has found the way to enter into the human body through tiny robots covered with a protein called Transferrin and cures those different types of tumors, at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. This technology is known as Nanotechnology.
"We're excited about it because there is a lot of skepticism whenever any new technology comes in", said Davis, a consultant to privately held Calando Pharmaceuticals Inc. He also said that this was the first study that could go in the human body and undertake the therapy.
Davis also mentioned that after these particles reach the tumor cells, they break them down and stops them from spreading. The particles also have a sensor in them which gets into the infected cell and takes action.
In June, at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, part of the study will be presented.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio —- Bowling Green State University put together all the three phases that Falcon baseball coach Danny Schmitz searches for during each game plus he added one more ingredient and the most helpful – the wind that always blows through the Warren Steller Field.
It measures 345 down each line and 405 in center field but with the prevailing wind that gust up toward 20 miles per hour the dimension of the field shortens dramatically and Stellar Field becomes a hitter's paradise.
Bowling Green University offense attacked the Eagles starting pitcher Corey Chaffins for seven runs and seven hits including two home runs that got caught up in breeze and sailed into the next county. The Falcons handed the Eagles their first conference lost of the season 13-5 under a stormy sky that blanket northeast Ohio.
"We had a little bit of a better effort today in all of the phases," Schmitz said after the game. "Nick Bruns our starting pitcher did a nice job and battled and got us into the sixth inning and Ross Gerdeman our reliever came in and did a real nice job and was able to shut the door today."
Bruns went five and one-third of an inning giving up all of the five runs scored by the Eagles and nine hits; he struck out seven and did not walk a batter for his second win of the season.
Gerdeman came into the game with bases loaded and with just one out in the top of the sixth inning but he got Eastern Michigan University first baseman Kyle Klein to hit a bouncing ball to third base that turned into the weridest doublr play.
Falcons' third baseman Frank Berry scooped up the in-between hop and stepped on the bag to force Eagles' shortstop Tucker Rubino at the base and then Berry threw the ball toward the plate to Bowling Green's catcher Ryan Schaller who applied the tag on Eagles' runner third baseman Ben Magsig for the third out of the inning.
"We did not pitch well at all and that is very disappointing," Eastern Michigan University baseball coach Jay Alexander said before getting on the team's bus. "Disappointing outing by our starter and he is one of our better guys. We made one error and that was by a pitcher."
Chaffins gave up eight hits, walked four and hit a batter with a pitch before Alexander replaced him with Collin Taylor in the sixth inning.
Taylor struggled on the mound with his pitches and with the wind walking just two and striking out four but he gave up six runs with four being earned in three innings of work. He made a wide throw to second base on a sacrifice attempt laid down by Falcons' centerfielder Andrew Kubuski making the only error of the day by the Eagle defense.
"We walked a lot of guys, we got behind a lot of guys anybody can hit when you got 2-0, 3-0 or 3-1," Alexander said. "I can come up and hit the ball!"
The star spangled banner in center field caught the wind and straighten out as the wind blew across the outfield inside Steller Field giving the batters a welcome ally but the pitchers have cause to curse the wind the ball carries very well especially toward right center and right fields.
The weather at Weller Field plays an important part of a baseball game, the wind never quits and a team is never safe with a lead.
"You know when you got the flag gusting out that plays a factor there are a lot different variables factors that play into it too," Alexander said as he describes the weather conditions at Steller Field. "You are never out of it as a team, I think we quit today and that is disappointing."
Alexander said his team had some bad at bats and the Eagles did not take scoring chances and capitalize by scoring runs and leaving the base loaded deflated the comeback effort.
Sunday afternoon at Steller Field the Eagles will be looking for the win that will take the weekend series, Alexander said he would be happy if the Eagles could win two out of three from the Falcons in the series.
"Tomorrow is the series decider and that is what counts, you got to win the series, Alexander said at the gate before leaving the field. "If you tell me that we can win two out of three every weekend I'll take it."
Alexander said the Eagles could feel that the game got out of hand and that happens to a young ball team but as a coach it his job and his coaching staff to get the Eagles back on the right track.
Sunday's afternoon baseball game at Warren Steller Field will begin at 1 p.m.

High-tech exports could give UK economy £20bn boost, says CBI
Increasing UK exports of high-tech goods will give the economy a £20bn boost by 2020, according to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).
Increasing exports of high-tech and communications goods from the UK will give the economy a £20bn boost by 2020, according to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

According to a report titled Winning overseas: boosting business export performance by the CBI and Ernst & Young, high-tech goods and communications services have been identified as areas with high export growth potential.
Electrical, optical and high-tech goods account for 15% of UK manufacturing exports. However, the report said the UK is currently losing out to international competitors and is under-prepared to take advantage of high-growth market trade in Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC).
"Our inability to break into and succeed in high-growth markets is due to a historic mismatch between the goods and services we currently sell and those demanded by high-growth economies," said Steve Varley, UK and Ireland managing partner at Ernst & Young.
The report said the UK loses out to Germany in terms of service exports to BRIC. Germany exported $12.7bn in 2009, compared with the UK's $12.3bn.
"By tailoring products to specific markets, supported by strong high-quality business intelligence guiding them every step of the way, businesses can enhance their export performance and boost the UK economy," said Varley.
The Confederation of British Industry said there is evidence that UK supply and demand in BRIC in is starting to align and called for the government to increase the percentage of UK exports to the region from 4% to 11% by 2020.
CBI's advice to government included greater promotion of studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects at school to help businesses remain internationally competitive.
In addition, CBI suggested setting a single online portal for businesses to access government export services.

Inventor Dean Kamen is obsessed with challenging norms. His Two Steps Forward clock is genius, yet determined to discombobulate. From the man who seceded from the nation when America challenged his wind-powered island comes a timepiece with true personality.

If I asked 100 people working in the larger Technology sector who Noel Lee was, I'm guessing less than 10 would immediately recognize the name or be able to tell me what he's accomplished.
There's a new film out on Dean Kamen's latest and greatest invention, "Slingshot." That's the name of both the fascinating documentary by Paul Lazarus and Kamen's latest, life-altering brainstorm.

Worcester Police are looking for two men who attempted to lure a teenager into a van on Monday. Credit: Metro Archive
A Worcester teenager had a scary experience Monday when two men tried to lure her into their vehicle.
According to the Worcester Police Department, the 14-year-old girl was on her way to her bus stop when a white van pulled up next to her, and two men inside the van demanded that she climb inside. When the teen refused, the two men showed her a dog in the van. Afraid that the dog would attack her, the girl ran across the street. She reported the incident to school officials.
The suspects are described as two white males; one suspect is thin and about 6 feet tall. The vehicle is described as a white box-type utility van.
Officers searched the area extensively but were unable to locate the vehicle. Police ask that parents and students report any suspicious activity and remain aware of their surroundings. Worcester police will also increase patrols during the hours when students are traveling to and from school.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to send an anonymous text to 274637 TIPWPD with your message, or submit your tip anonymously online at worcesterma.gov/police. Calls can also be made to the Worcester Police Detective Bureau at (508) 799-8651.

Static Thought pounds your ears and your brain with angry and political punk rock, growing out of the Sex Pistols and Dead Kennedys. The four members of Static Thought stand up on stage, using microphones and amplifiers to yell about the injustices and dehumanization in the world. They are the best and brightest kinds of punks, those that use their minds and welcome everyone.
The sound of Static Thought builds off of guitars and spitballs. They fit together pretty hooks with pounding drums and singer/guitarist Eric Urbach barks out lyrics about control, greed and the importance of being educated and giving a fuck. The band released an album on Hellcat Records in 2007 bringing their Bay area punk fury out to the masses, and The Motive for Movement is the followup to that album, also released on Hellcat. Static Thought inter-fuses some pop-punk and dynamic song building with their traditional three chord punk approach to make their sound powerful, aggressive and thoughtful
They cite influences like Van Halen, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, and Metallica and they do their best to mix their sound with straight-forward storytelling and expansive rocking. Each of the tracks on The Motive for Movement clock in around 3 minutes or less and they are jam packed with plenty of feedback and pain.
The best track on the album is "Amivalence" which is filled with catchy crisp guitars and calls for a wrecking ball to knock down all the walls, because people are disgusted.
In the band bio on the Hellcat Records Web site it says "I became a punk because I always felt like I didn't fit in with my peers. Punk rock became an outlet for my aggression and a place that shared many of my ideals. I think there are a lot of serious issues that people are unaware of in the punk scene; such as sexism, ignorance, and lack of self-control. All ages venues across the country are shutting down as a result of this. People need to realize that the meaningless destruction that occurs is ruining our scene. There's no better way to take your anger out on something than running around like a mad man in the pit or going down to your neighborhood protest."
So, if you wanna feel part of the positive punk rock movement again, pick up The Motive for Movement and rock out with your body and mind.

Sure. The problem is that the slang and abbreviation need to show up in their corpus. From what I understand, Google mostly uses Canadian and European Parliment proceedings for their sample. "LOL' dosn't show up much there...
One thing that they can do, is to use statistical models of language to infer what unknown words "should" mean. They could even incorporate phonetic priors (IE, "Qui" sounds like "ki").
Facebook right now has an oddly rich corpus of multi-lingual slang, they'd be in a good competitive position vs google-translate if they went through the effort to incorporate it into it's translation.
"In the period for which we have data, 1 in 7.9 whites stopped were arrested, compared with approximately 1 in 8.8 Hispanics and 1 in 9.5 blacks. These data are consistent with our general conclusion that the police are disproportionately stopping minorities; the stops of whites are more "efcient" and are more likely to lead to arrests"
Not really, no. It's about scale-free networks (Networks that have preferential attachment, IE, people with tons of friends are more likely to get new friends than people with no friends. Their degree distribution, IE, the number of friends, is power-law distributed as opposed to exponential distributions, which come from friendship being totally random). You can model social networks fairly well as scale-free networks empirically. Roughly speaking, the average distance between two random notes is proportional to the log of the log of the number of nodes.
The price one pays for pursuing any profession, or calling, is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side. -- James Baldwin

A woman is most fertile during her ovulation period as this is the time when an egg is released from the ovaries into the fallopian tube. The Oestrogen produces the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is primarily responsible for the release of the egg from the ovaries. Once released, it takes about twenty four hours for the egg to become ready for fertilization. This is known as the ovulation period. If someone is willing to become pregnant, then she should have sexual intercourse with her partner during this time as she would be most fertile and thus most likely to conceive. If she has sex with her partner at the exact day of ovulation, then the chances of becoming pregnant are the highest, but that does not mean that having sex a few days before or after the ovulation cannot make her pregnant. After an ejaculation inside the vagina, the sperm cells can survive for anything between two to seven days, therefore it is possible to get pregnant even if a woman has sex two or three days before or after her ovulation period, but the chances would be comparatively lower.
To determine the most fertile day in a woman's menstrual cycle, she needs to find out the total number of days that constitutes her period cycle first. Although it is generally 28 days for most women, an entire menstrual cycle can last from anything between 24 days to 35 days. After the total number of days is determined, she must now use the calendar to first mark the last day of her menstrual cycle and then subtract 14 days from the last day of her periods. The date which she will reach now should be the day on which she would be most fertile. However, even the ovulation day may vary in case of some women and thus additional care should be taken to help determine the exact date of ovulation. Taking note of the cervical mucus, basal body temperature and also the use of modern ovulation predictor kits are all advised if a woman wants to establish her most fertile period.

Before it's demise, the Birdcage theater showed movies on the cheap. Something like $1 if I remember for movies that had been out for a long time. My dad would take my brother and I when we weren't in school all the time.
