How do I interpret "so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare." ?
|Answer by Fr. John Echert on 11/21/2012:
Christ is the sign of contradiction, that is, everyone will be forced to make a choice for or
against Him. Against is eternal death and for is to resurrection to life. In making the
choice, hearts laid bare is that at crucifixion and ever since, the choice for or against
Christ manifests the good or evil intentions of each. This last election was case in point.
Those candidates whe stood for moral evil--abortion and homosexuality especially--and
those who knowing this voted for them have exposed their hearts, in the secrecy of the
ballot booth but still known and judged by God. Thanks John Father Echert
Thanks John

xwk needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 91 designs submitted by 23 freelance designers.
Go2Class provides online live lecture service for parties involved in distance learning/trainings. It works as follows:
1) Any 3rd-party institutions or freelancer teachers who want to run live online lectures for their target audience can log into our website and start a live lecture right from his/her own PC. Teachers' voice, video and presentation will be captured and streamed to the audiences. It is similar to "webinar" technology. However, with our service, the teachers do not need to buy or install any SW, nor worry about the server infrastructure. If you have no idea about what webinar is, here is a snapshots of a typical webinar (http://at.its.uiowa.edu/digimedia/i…ebcast.jpg).
2) The students use their browser to open our website, and can join the lecture instantly, without the need to install any SW beforehand.
3) The online lectures can be optionally recorded and stored on our web site. Public audience can search for and view recorded lectures recording.
4) The audiences can rank and comment the lectures, giving rise to "star" lecturers/lectures
You could think of our website as a mix of "GotoWebinar"(but add the browsing of previous recording), Youtube (but focus on educational content only) and SlideShare.net (but with a live casting twist).
. 3rd party educational institutions who want to conduct live online education/training
. Freelancer instructors/teachers who want to run online training/education programs for their audience/clients
. Enrolled students of the classes hold on Go2Class
. Adult persons who are seeking online continuing education or skill training courses
.The designers should deliver two variants of the logo design together.
1. The main Go2Class logo, which will be used in our website, marketing material, etc.
2. The associated "Powered By Go2Class" logo, which will imposed (half-transparently) on the lecture video captured by our service. The second logo should be consistent with the main logo.
.Please take into consideration that our future web site will tend to have a white or light background color
.The logo should contain the word Go2Class. Please capitalize G and C. If you want to add the domain affix, please use ".net"
.The logo should be cute, cool, lively, fun and web 2.0 like.
. Please avoid those traditional concepts such as pen, book, etc, associated with physical classrooms. Instead, you should use elements to reflect it is an online web 2.0 class/lecture service. But please try to avoid using the mouse, which has been used too often.
. Please add slogan "Online lectures made easy" in the main logo (not required for the "Powered by" variant).
. As our service is targeting adult persons in remote continuing education and skill training, so please avoid design elements which are mainly for teenagers.
.No stock clip-art, nor minor modifications on designs already awarded in other contests please.
.At a later point in time, we will start the contest for the whole web page design

11/08/2008 2:51pm,
Much of what could be said here is available on the school's homepage, but I'll cover the few things it doesn't. Firstly, this is top-notch instruction. Dan is well versed in JKD, having trained with Dan Inosanto and his students. He's also a fitness expert, with a background in nutrition, physical therapy, and survival tactics. It's about as no-nonsense as it gets. You show up wearing workout clothes you can move in. Getting your own stuff is recommended, though there's extra pads and weapons for when you need them. Dan is there unless he's sick or missing a limb. In over a year of instruction, he was absent three times. Also, Dan is Dan, not Sifu, or Sensei, or Sir. Call him any of the others and he'll probably make fun of you (just for a bit). The focus is practical training. What works for you, works for you. Dan has his favorites, but if you like something else, he's cool with that. If he thinks it doesn't work for you as well as you think it does, then he'll SHOW you, usually through both instruction and sparring. At least half of any given lesson is sparring or live fighting. I recommend both a cup and mouthguard in addition to all the pads you might want. Class happens 3x week for an hour or more, depending. You pay for a month and how often you come is up to you. Wednesday is groundwork, and it is WORK. Saturdays is open sparring, which means anybody but anybody can come by, no questions asked. Fighters from multiple disciplines stop by often, and the rules are what you make them. Many people go VERY hard in this time. All skill levels are welcome and interact fully. While I was there, we had a couple women interested primarily in self defense, some wrestlers, a number of very experience martial artists, and everything in between. Contact, difficulty, and instruction are all modified by experience level, but it's a community and everyone trains with each other. Agression has no place in this school. NOBODY will tolerate it there, and it's against the culture of the group to fight wildly or dangerously. If you get a little keyed up now and then, they'll help you reign it in, but the school is there to train intelligent fighting, not berserkers. Cross the line and they'll put you down, hard. There's a lot of specialized live drills: knife fighting, kali fighting, 2 on 1, 2 on 2, elevator fighting (fighting with limited space). These help you round out your skills in practical environments. Additionally, there are a bunch of seminars each year, Eric Paulson, JKD specialists, BJJ specialists, Police and Special Forces training. These are optional and extra, but well worth the money if you're a serious fighter.

Current Law Students / Re: Case for discussion; US employer hiring worker from abroad« on: January 19, 2012, 12:00:39 AM »
this sounds like something that would be small claims kind of issue, if not international of course. Anyway, it sounds like the restaurant was saying things, that the chef reasonably relied upon. The fact that the offer was made, and the restaurant knew he was in thailand, but still kept speaking with him, negotiated visa payments and living arrangements, accepted a payment (knowing where this was going) and followed up a second time to get more money (strengthening the belief the chef had of thinking this was leading to a job). Although there was no express promise, the circumstances are pretty strong in the chef's favor, though not all the way. I would bet that a judge would decide that much of the chefs money would be returned, not on fraud grounds though. There was a lot implied and constructively shown to the chef, the restaurant knew what they were doing. I would vote that perhaps some money would be kept for the restaurant if it was honestly true that paperwork was burdensome and costly, but only enough to cover that to the T. And I should also state, that under your facts, it is certainly a FACT that the restaurant never said "well we have to charge for this process, but we can't guarantee a job at this time." Now that is a very powerful fact, that is what SHOULD have been said, and it is their responsibility to say that one way or another (a judge might say). It is reasonable to say that, and unreasonable not to.

We read in the Gospels that Jesus ministered healing to the multitudes. The needs were great, seemingly overwhelming at times. Jesus wanted helpers. He empowered the apostles to minister in His name. He sent them out to preach and to heal, to cleanse lepers, and to cast out demons.
The disciples returned from their mission enthused, because the ministry was powerful, and their prayers were effective. They prayed for healing, and healing took place. They found that "even demons are subjected to us when we use Your name." Luke's Gospel tells us that Jesus too was filled with joy. He prayed, "I bless You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for what You have hidden from the learned and clever, You have revealed to the simple and the childlike" (see Luke 10:1–24).
We should understand what happened with the disciples, because what they did, we are supposed to do. So how did they heal the sick and cast out demons?
We know what the disciples did, but we know precious little about how they did it. The Gospels tell us only that they used the name of Jesus and anointed with oil. The prayer that Jesus utters when they return, however, gives us insight into the nature of their ministry and ours.
The ministry that Jesus was calling for is not something that the learned and clever can uncover by research and study. Rather, the ministry is for the simple of spirit and the childlike. It comes from the heart rather than from the head.
Throughout the centuries many have attempted to understand the healing power of Jesus. People have looked for techniques, methods, or even an occult science or some secret knowledge that Jesus might have taught His disciples. One might hear a minister say, "Step out in faith, claim your healing, and you will be healed." Some people would teach that laying hands on the sick is the only way to pray for healing. Some ministers demand a definite and explicit response to their prayer. Others ask quiet acceptance of the prayer without any outward sign of that acceptance.
Relying on a technique probably arises from a combination of insecurity and the need to control. The truth is that there is no prayer formula. The healing power of Jesus, and hence that of His disciples, is not so much a technique as a working of the Spirit of Love. It is simply a deep compassion for people who suffer and a quiet confidence in the Father's love.
Search the Gospel stories to see how Jesus healed. What you will find is that there does not seem to be any one way of doing it. In more than half the cases, Jesus gave a command accompanied by a touch. In some instances it was a touch without a word, and at other times it was a word of command without a touch. Sometimes He touched the sick; sometimes they touched Him (see Matthew 8:3; 9:20, for example). Occasionally Jesus called upon a person's faith; other times He gave commands without asking for a faith response (Matthew 9:6, 27–30).
Jesus used physical things — some rather unorthodox. He put His finger in the ears of the deaf-mute and His saliva on the man's tongue (see Mark 7:33). He rubbed mud, made from His saliva, into the eyes of a man born blind (John 9:6).
Sometimes it seems as if Jesus did nothing, as in the story of the ten lepers who came to Him for healing. He simply told them, "Go and show yourself to the priest." As they went on their way, they discovered that they were healed. It seems to have happened quietly and in a hidden way (see Luke 17:12–15).
Whether it was a spoken word, a command, a touch, a gesture, or simply silence, healing happened, and people were deeply blessed. It is love that touched hearts, minds, and bodies. It is the love of Jesus that is important to imitate, not the technique.
We see in Scripture that Jesus met each situation differently, because each situation, and each person in each situation, was unique. Jesus was in communion with the Father, and He knew what was needed in each case. Jesus knew that each heart, each person, and each situation was special. Knowing the inner needs of each person would produce the appropriate approach to each.
Healing gifts include not only the gift of healing but also gifts of discernment, wisdom, healing touch, prophetic utterance, the word of knowledge, and especially the gifts of compassion and love. All these gifts and more are needed to effectively minister healing in the name of Jesus.
Father Richard McAlear has decades of service in the healing ministry as both a teacher and one called upon to pray for healing.
This is an excerpt from "The Power of Healing Prayer: Overcoming Emotional and Psychological Blocks." Read the book to learning more about healing ministry, including six defining qualities: gentleness, touch, positive prayer, teamwork, imagination and open and grateful hearts.

The Maldives - for the perfect weather
For out-and-out escapism to an idyllic climate, warm seas and complete peace, the ultimate destination at this time of year has to be the Maldives. January and February are the driest months (it is unlikely to rain at all) and temperatures stay in the mid-to-high 20Cs day and night. What's more, this month will see the low cost carrier flydubai.com launch flights to the island nation, making a visit (potentially) more affordable than ever.Picture: ALAMY

11/30 Hoyer on Maddux, Pena & Z
In an interview Tuesday with MLB Network radio on Sirius XM, Cubs GM Jed Hoyer addressed Greg Maddux's departure, Carlos Pena and Carlos Zambrano:
* On Maddux joining the Rangers as a special assistant to the general manager, Hoyer said the family tie was strong. Greg's brother Mike is the Rangers pitching coach.
"He's talked to us about working with his brother and that's something that's obviously really important to him," Hoyer said. "That's something that's awfully hard to disagree with that.
"He's obviously a brilliant baseball mind," Hoyer said. "I hope we can sometime work together. He's an incredibly impressive guy and brings a lot of value to the Cubs. The ability to work with family is hard to stand in the way."
* On the decision to offer Carlos Pena arbitration:
"When you look at Pena, he's going to have a really big market," Hoyer said. "I don't think there's any question about that. You look at the first base market and he stands out as a run producer. He's likely to receive a multi-year deal and do very well in the market. That's what drove our decision. People here talked highly about him last year but a lot of the decision was driven by the knowledge that he'll have a big multi-year market."
Which could mean the Cubs would bring Pena back, but did not want to commit to a long-term deal.
* As for Zambrano, Hoyer said he was impressed the pitcher flew to Chicago to meet with Theo Epstein.
"[Zambrano] expressed a lot of regret about what happened this year," Hoyer said. "The challenge with Carlos is that this has happened multiple times, it's not a one-time thing. We can't just act like it was a one off situation. It's been a little bit of a pattern. Internally, we've discussed the things he needs to do to apologize to his teammates and to make things right internally. I think he can certainly be back but there's a list of things he needs to do and we'll keep those internal. It's been a trend and something that has to stop but he's also immensely talented and had a lot of well-pitched games here in Chicago. It is a process and we're just starting that process now."
— Carrie Muskat

Reading between the lines I think Hoyer is saying that Pena is not all that desirable as a long term solution at 1B. Good for Hoyer. He is saying that Pena is a run producer but not neccesarily a GREAT run producer considering his low batting average, his pathetic batting average with RISP and his strike outs. Hoyer would be content with Pena at 1B for just the 2012 season as an acceptable stop gap "might as well" solution. Again, good for Hoyer. By this time, if Hendry was still GM Pena would have been signed to a 3-5 year deal just because he's "a good guy to have around". We are so fortunate to have Epstein and Hoyer in control of the roster. Now, if they can just resist the temptation to sign Pujols to 8 years….

Logan's Vintage Charmer
Name: Logan (8 months)
Location: Simi Valley, California
We moved into our house on our one year anniversary and when I was 6 months pregnant. I was so excited to get started on her nursery...I was definitely "nesting".
I am a major fan of the 1970's so I love bright patterns.. my friend made us a quilt for our wedding that ended up being the jumping off point for Logan's nursery decor. I thrifted and handmade a lot of the items in her room. I am very happy with it and I hope she is too.
Thanks, Alison! Readers, see more of Logan's room at When Life Gives You Mellins.

By Wyatt Bechtel, Dairy Today associate editor Bill Goldberg is still known for his prowess in the wrestling ring where he speared the competition into submission. He now is on a mission to help educate the public about myths and misinformation surrounding animal agriculture while also talking about world hunger. Goldberg is a part of a joint initiative put together by Elanco Animal Health, Greenfield, Ind., and Nutra Blend LLC, Neosho, Mo., called the Drive To Feed The World. In this effort, Goldberg has been on the Chew On This Tour traveling across the country stopping at colleges, universities, state fairs and large events sharing facts about animal agriculture with consumers who are unaware of the importance of the industry. The latest stop was World Dairy Expo yesterday. Bill Goldberg (center) poses with a group of FFA members. The Chew On This Tour has been helping dispel common myths about animal agriculture that have been shared by the one percent of the population who are trying to shape food policy and choices. "Traditionally those are the only points of view we've heard," stated Goldberg. "It's absolutely appalling the lack of knowledge the general public has." The tour lets people learn about animal agriculture and world hunger through a series of on the street interviews Goldberg conducted with consumers. He asks questions like, "What is natural meat? How much milk does the average cow produce in a day? and What is the nutritional difference between regular and organic milk?" Many of the answers are far off base. The video provides the correct information, sourced by experts from animal agriculture and human nutrition. Their fact-based message: The United States has "one of the safest food supplies in the world." During a two and a half day stretch at the Minnesota State Fair recently, more than 5,500 people walked through the Chew On This trailer to watch the video. In all, the tour has been at 125 different events this past year. Goldberg added that you can see the video makes a big difference for those who come and visit the Chew On This Tour. Besides sharing facts about animal agriculture, the program also aims to stop world hunger through education and donating free meals. In the United States alone there are 18,000 households that are food insecure, with 16,000 of those having children in them. Globally there are 870 million people who are not getting enough to eat and 25,000 people die each day due to malnutrition. "If it takes me to raise awareness and the volume of the subject I'm more than happy to do it," said Goldberg. Read more on the Chew On This Tour here. Back to news

2008-03-12 / Columnists
Pets, Pets, Pets . .
The numbers are staggering. Cats reproduce exponentially. In theory, a prolific feline can have 3 litters of 4 to 6 kittens a year, so in a population pyramid, one cat can produce at least 12 offspring the first year, and with its descendants, 144 cats by the second year. End result: Maddie's Fund estimates there are 30-60 million free roaming, stray and feral cats in the US.
On March 2, Last Hope Animal Rescue, Inc. spayed and neutered 135 feral cats at a free clinic, potentially preventing over 19,000 kittens from being born by 2010, only to starve and suffer. The event was made possible through the help of 10 veterinarians and at least 40 other volunteers who passionately believe that TNR (trap- neuter release) is the way to control the cat surplus. Yet this Spay Day only scratched the tip of the feral cat iceberg.
In a year's time Last Hope has held 3 free Spay Days with increasing patient loads-87, 110, now an astounding 135 cats sterilized in one day. We are learning from each feline M*A*S*H, held at generously lent Basic Pet Care in Lindenhurst. We know we overbooked. Since 2 people were taking reservations
this time, 200 rather than 100 cats were expected. Word of a free clinic spreads like wildfire.
Actual arrivals are contingent on successful trapping; therefore, not all of the cats show up. We seem to get 65-75% of the scheduled at each clinic.
Surprises slow down the surgical stations. We temporarily ran out of certain supplies, like oxygen and packs, because we had too many cats. Male neuters are simpler, quicker and require less skill and anesthesia, but since the cats are not tame, it is hard to sex them for a count until they are tranquilized. The last dozen cats of our 12 hour day, though not obvious calicos, all turned out to be females, delaying the grand finale. In addition, the doctors have different operating styles, supply preferences and tempos depending on experience and where they went to veterinary school.
Although all assistance is pro bono, a TNR clinic is expensive. Besides the operation, each cat gets a shot of painkiller, fluids, penicillin, ivermectin for earmites, Advantage for fleas, both rabies and distemper shots, ear tippingthe universal neuter signal, and when necessary, antibiotics for a discovered infection- all at no charge to the caretaker. FeLV/FIV testing is discounted too. Medical supplies for March 2 ran about $3,000. We used 9 vials of the knock down drug-Telazol®; sutures alone cost $1,000. Last Hope (www.lasthopeanimalrescue.org), a non-profit organization, relies completely on donations. Pet Peeves gave a $1,000 grant this time; veterinary companies provided some donated supplies the first clinic, but we can't keep asking.
All involved agree that spay/neuter is the answer. However, Last Hope is starting to analyze costs and efforts to determine whether these free mass TNR days are really curtailing the feral cat problem. Are we servicing the right people; or are most of our "customers", seasoned cat caretakers who already use Last Hope's "Fix-A- Feral" program where certificates cut the price about 50 percent at a low cost hospital? One experienced trapper brought 10 cats to last week's free spaying. Do we leave enough slots for the general public who may be feeding unapproachable strays in their yard? How many people are sneaking through their pets (tame in fancy carriers) for a freebie spay? All eligible cats are supposed to be ferals who will be re-released by their guardians.
So far 2 suggestions have surfacedthe first from me, the spoiler. If Last Hope plans to continue with mass Spay Days which fill up faster than Billy Joel at Shea's farewell, they need not be free. Requesting $10 or even $20 a cat would help recoup some of the expenses and possibly leave some funds toward the next event. The small fee is still less than the cost with a "Fix-A-Feral" certificate, plus the cat benefits from additional services.
Global Idea #2: Managing feral cats is a municipal problem with humane municipal solutions. Cat colonies exist in every neighborhood; every strip mall. Each LI Town needs to start lending traps and offering free spay vouchers to all residents who want to aid ferals. It's a win/win proposition because shelter cat intake will drop too.
Last Hope and other
rescues are already advising some Towns in the planning stages. (North Hempstead has a voucher program but it is counterbalanced because, for inexplicable reasons, this is the only Town that refuses to accept any cats in their shelter.)Word is that Babylon, Oyster Bay, and Islip are poised to launch feral voucher programs. Babylon has a state grant. If the Towns offer ongoing, free vouchers, ultimately, Last Hope spayathons will no longer be needed.

Stanley: Outdoor Food & Beverage Gear That's Stood the Test of Time
I'd bet there's a pretty good chance someone in your family has a Stanley thermos stashed in the basement, or out in the garage. Although this 100-year-old company has been making durable outdoor food gear for over a generation, it's back in the spotlight thanks to the Americana/nostalgia trend of recent years. But lest you think they're still only making that mottled green design, you'd be wrong! Stanley has updated with the times.
Stanley was founded in 1913, when William Stanley Jr. invented the all-steel vacuum bottle. The bottles were first carried on WWII B-17s, but by the 1960s they were on airlines, ocean liners, trains, and in hospitals around the country. The signature hammertone green, most associated with the brand, was introduced in 1953. (And personally, I still like it the best. I found one of of these green thermoses last summer in my grandmother's basement, and it's as heavy-duty and leak-proof as ever.)
The company remains headquartered in Seattle, but the products are now manufactured in Asia. Besides the Classic collection (in the hammertone green), Stanley has three other lines aimed at everything from commuters to hard-core outdoorsmen.
Do you have a favorite Stanley product or collection? Are you holding on to a vintage piece, or have you purchased from the company recently?
- 1 The Classic Collection: The original collection, in that vintage-y hammertone green.
- 2 The Utility Collection: Durable and practical containers for everyday commutes.
- 3 The Outdoor Collection: Designed for extreme weather and "rough trips," the vacuum insulation keeps food hot or cold for 24 hours.
- 4 The Adventure Collection: Still heavy-duty but a little lighter, and ideal for camping and outdoor day trips.

C**p. I will be buying this even tho I have all 3 seasons due to the bonus disc,because I'm a hardcore DC Animated Universe fan. But it pisses me off that they haven't released all of The Zeta Project or Static Shock even tho they keep doing re-releases of the main series. And I loved the DC Animated Universe so much I bought Birds of Prey to get Gotham Girls shorts,so it would also be nice to get a new release with those shorts so I can get rid of Birds of Prey which is pure awful.
I could go for this but I have none of those complete series box sets yet and this one would rank at the bottom for me but that sure doesn't mean it's c**p!
Wow is this overpriced. Booklet and bonus disc aside, you can obtain this entire series for less than $50 brand spanking new. Not. Worth. It.
It's easy for all you DCAU fans in the U.S/Canada. Spare a thought for the european fans who have to import all these boxsets. I had to import BTAS VOL 3-4, all the Justice League sets and Batman Beyond. I still haven't completed Superman yet. So while I'm sure this release is exciting for many I won't be purchasing it. Love Batman Beyond though.
Of course the BTAS Complete Series didn't include the three movies so its no suprise this set doesn't include Return of the Joker.

Any chance it'll include the Justice League episodes(acted as Batman Beyond series finale)??
I love the Batman Beyond series and glad to see Warner Bros giving such a treatment.
But like Billy Black has said, why bother when there's no Blu-Ray?

No Bluray? Why bother
this will look great with my Batman: The Animated Series collection
its interesting how this gets a big fancy collection like Batman:TAS did but then Justice League just gets a lame cheap box that features all the seasons together in a bundle with nothing more. JL was bigger and more popular then Beyond, you'd think they would have treated it the same.
surprised they didnt thrown in Return of The Joker and that JL episode that wrapped up this series.

I really want this, almost kind of enjoyed this than the regular animated batman series.
Damn it! Bonus Disc makes this a must buy! At least I got good use from my old sets, now I have to find someone stupid enough to buy them off me.

Magnalight has released a new series of wheeled light towers with tilting stands designed to make deployment safer and easier for single operators. Suitable for wet areas, the towers can illuminate up to 25,000 sq. ft. Designed to provide protection where flammable vapors and gases may exist, these extendable light towers provide safety during deployment and operation.
The HAL-1X400MCE light tower, priced at $1775, allows a single operator to quickly deploy and raise the unit. The base on the tower incorporates a slide and tilt design that allows the user to tilt the tower assembly back while extending the lamp fixture to the desired height with minimal effort.
The tower can be lowered to 5 ft. and extended up to 8 ft. It can also be disassembled for transport. The metal halide lamp is rated at 400 watts.
The unit is able to operate with voltages ranging from 110VAC to 277VAC using jumpers for versatile power connection options. Included with the tower are 50 ft. of SOOW yellow cord with the ECP 1523 explosion-proof straight blade plug.
"We have designed this mounting solution to make it easier for the operator to deploy collapse and move our explosion-proof and hazardous location lighting," says Rob Bresnahan of Magnalight. "Typically, the lighting payload at the top of the tripods is more than 50 lbs., which can make it difficult to elevate. With our HAL-1X400MCE model, operators can lean the tripod mast over onto the support upright, position the lights and the elevation of the mast and then raise it into position. The light head can also be removed and stored separately on the base, making it easy and safe for the operator to pull the light tower behind him."

ASRock A55 Pro3 Review
Featuring all-new game tests, this benchmark is for use with Vista-based systems. "There are two all-new CPU tests that have been designed around a new 'Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation.' CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware." There are four preset levels that correspond to specific resolutions. "Entry" is 1024 x 768 progressing to "Extreme" at 1920 x 1200. Of course, each preset can be modified to arrange any number of user designed testing. For our testing, I will use the four presets at all default settings.
- Settings (each preset): Default Testing
- Entry: 1024 x 768
- Performance: 1280 x 1024
- High: 1680 x 1050

With Worcester spinning companies out of UMass Medical School, it could be useful for local leaders to learn about how Cambridge achieved world leadership in BioPharma � companies that do biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, manufacture and marketing.
Biopharma is concentrated in four regions: Middlesex County � which includes Cambridge's Kendall Square and many Route 128 towns � as well as San Diego, San Francisco, and Basel, Switzerland.
The first biotech company in Massachusetts, Biogen, was started about 30 years ago by a pair of Nobel-prize winning professors, Harvard's Walter Gilbert and MIT's Phillip Sharp.
"They decided that they needed to be located near MIT and they found an old machine shop at 223 Binney Street in Cambridge, which was Biogen's first headquarters," according to my September 5 interview with Peter Abair, director of Economic Development & Global Affairs at the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council.
The two took advantage of a law � the 1980 Bayh Dole Act � that made it possible for the private sector to get the rights to the results of National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded research to "open the state's first commercial biotech-focused lab in 1981," according to Mr. Abair.
Since then, Kendall Square � ground zero for the state's BioPharma industry � has the highest concentration of industry employment of any region in the world, according to Abair.
"Over the last decade, BioPharma employment in Middlesex County has grown 40 percent and reached 56,462 people in 2012," he said.
Most of the jobs � 27,800 � are in BioPharma research, and there has been a big surge in the total in the last decade thanks to Big Pharma's realization that it needed to be in Kendall Square, which is MIT's home.
"In the last decade, big pharmaceutical companies have opened facilities in Kendall Square to conduct research. Before that the Massachusetts biotech industry was growing slowly and steadily," explained Mr. Abair.
To help understand the origins of Middlesex County's BioPharma pre-eminence, it helps to look at the startup common model about which I have posted several times. The basic idea is that regions get more startup activity based on the strength of six elements:
� Pillar companies.
� Universities.
� Human capital.
� Investment capital.
� Mentoring.
� Values.
Four of these factors have played a crucial role in contributing to Cambridge's BioPharma leadership.
1. Values
The most important of these factors is Values. That's because Cambridge is unique in the world for a willingness to encourage research scientists to operate both in the academic world and the commercial world. Other universities in most of the world try to encourage a stark separation between academic research and startups to commercialize it.
"MIT's technology licensing office has long encouraged professors to commercialize their research. Europeans who visit Cambridge marvel at the easy transition from hospital to private industry," said Mr. Abair.
2. Human Capital
These values attract people from around the world who want a chance to break new ground in science and do well by commercializing it. "As a result, you have people like Eric Lander who runs MIT's Broad Institute who does ground-breaking research and has started many companies. People come to Harvard and MIT to get scientific training and work in these companies," explained Mr. Abair.
3. Universities and Hospitals
The local BioPharma industry benefits from having NIH-funded universities. "MIT, Harvard, Boston University and Tufts University are among the top NIH-funded BioPharma research universities. We also have nine of the top 18 NIH-funded research hospitals � including Mass General Hospital, Brigham and Women's, and Beth-Israel Deaconess," argued Mr. Abair.
4. Investment Capital
When Biogen got started, there were many venture capital firms and other investors who were willing to invest in them. "All the ingredients were in place 30 years ago. We had a savvy investment community that was willing to invest when they saw opportunity in 1980, 1985, and 1990," said Mr. Abair.
5. Mentors
Finally, Cambridge is host to many experienced BioPharma entrepreneurs who are happy to help get new companies off the ground. According to Mr. Abair, "We have many serial entrepreneurs who have years of experience starting companies. These are people who can help you run a company. Even the failures lend experience and expertise that are valuable to new entrepreneurs and investors."
Worcester needs to develop Cambridge's depth of human capital, investment capital, and mentors � but it is on the way there.

The Dark Patent Troll Rises: Now 40% Of All Patent Litigation
from the leeches dept
According to a recent study by Robin Feldman of UC Hastings College of Law and Lex Machina, the percentage of patent cases finding their way to court jumped from 22% in 2007 to 40% in 2011. Note that the following graph is a corrected graph issued after the initial report by the authors.
The study was inspired by the America Invents Act, last year's largely toothless overhaul of the patent system. In it, Congress asked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study the impact of non-practicing entities—a more clinical term for patent trolls—on the economy. Because Lex Machina already had a database of patent litigation, the GAO asked it to produce a random sample of 100 patent lawsuits for each year from 2007 to 2011. In addition to supplying the GAO with the data it needed for its forthcoming study, Lex Machina decided to publish its own interpretations of the sample.As the Ars Technica piece notes, that shocking statistic above doesn't even tell the whole story. When you consider that patent litigation as a total has jumped in volume, coupled with the number/percentage of patent troll threats settling well outside of the courtroom, experts figure that the size of the patent troll leeches are roughly double the size of your average adult kraken.
"From all appearances, lawsuits filed are only the tip of the iceberg (editors note: kraken-sized leeches often hide under iceberg tips), and a major operating company may face hundreds of invitations to license for every lawsuit," the authors write.
The America Invents Act was enacted in the final months of the study period. And there was at least one minor change designed to deter troll behavior: the law made it harder to name many defendants in a single lawsuit. But the law's main provisions, such as the switch from a "first to invent" rule to "first to file" is unlikely to affect the volume of troll litigation.Hell, this all sounds like promoting the progress to me. That, or some flavor of patent abuse. Surely it's one of the two...

It is a brand new year and I figured I should start 2012 with a fresh start; right at the pastry beginning. For me that's homemade vanilla extract, probably the most used ingredient in my kitchen after flour and sugar. I always have a stack of beans and bottles of extract. I admit I don't always make my own, but it is something, like homemade yogurt, that once you make it, you're ruined to the store bought version. It is easy to make, but to get the best result you have to be patient. The longer you let the vanilla beans sit in the vodka, the better and stronger the flavor. I let this bottle sit for 5 weeks before opening it, which was a test of willpower I didn't know I possessed. The result is like perfume, I want to add this homemade vanilla extract to all of my recipes and dab a bit behind my ears. I'll use it in everything from cakes to cocktails.
This year I have only made one work-related resolution…to make more how-to videos on my ZoeBakes YouTube Channel. If you have any ideas for cake decorating, baking, pastry or any other sweets you'd like to see in more detail, please let me know. You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my new videos. Hope they are helpful.
Homemade Vanilla Extract
Glass Bottle with stopper or cap (the one I used had juice in it and I cleaned it and then sterilized it) – the size doesn't matter, you can make a large or small amount.
Vodka – enough to cover the beans in the bottle you choose. You can also use rum or other neutral flavored alcohol.
Vanilla Beans – The amount will depend on the size of the jar you make, but you want to use a bunch to get the best flavor. I used about 18 beans in 750ml of vodka. The beans can be expensive, so you can also keep the pods after you have scraped out the seeds for another recipe. This will take longer, because you aren't adding the flavorful pulp, but it is a great way to use the pods. I add one to the bottle every time I have another pod. (Don't use them if they have been used in a recipe already, like custard) – Here is more information on vanilla beans
To make the vanilla extract:
Clean your bottle and dry it well.
If you are using the whole vanilla beans, scrape out the pulp of a bunch of beans.
Put the pod and scraped pulp into the bottle. (Scraping out the pulp first will help it flavor the alcohol quicker.)
Once you have all the beans scraped and added to the bottle…
Pour the vodka into the bottle. You can use a Funnel to make sure you don't spill. I didn't have one that was small enough, so I used a large round pastry tip.
Close the stopper on the bottle and shake the vanilla and vodka to distribute the seeds.
The vodka will still be clear for the first few days. Once every couple of days give the extract a good shake to break up the pulp and get the seeds distributed in the vodka.
After a week the extract will start to get darker and develop some flavor. After two weeks you can use the extract, but the flavor will be very subtle.
At week 3 the color should be amber and the aroma is richer, but waiting for week 4 or 5 is when it gets really exciting. Use it in any recipe that calls for vanilla extract. If you are using it in buttercream, you may want to strain out any of the pulp. You will still have the seeds in your recipe, but any of the stringy bits from the pod will get strained out.
The extract can be kept indefinitely and over the months it just keeps getting better.
Happy New Year!

WA Pension Problems
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Groups that represent current and former government workers in Washington state are concerned about a plan in the Senate that seeks to prevent sudden increases in pension values. Matt Zuvich of the Washington Federation of State Employees said yesterday the union opposes pension spiking because it undermines stability of the systems along with public trust. However, he feared the Senate's current plan would cut into the legitimate overtime needs of public safety workers. The bill seeks to prevent large increases in overtime or other special pay close to retirement. No vote was taken yesterday.

Lotus F1 put Raikkonen one step ahead of Grosjean
Lotus F1 have been giving Formula One championship leader Kimi Raikkonen preferential treatment over his French team mate Romain Grosjean, technical director James Allison said on Friday.india Updated: Mar 23, 2013 12:18 IST
Lotus F1 have been giving Formula One championship leader Kimi Raikkonen preferential treatment over his French team mate Romain Grosjean, technical director James Allison said on Friday.
Raikkonen, the 2007 world champion with Ferrari, won last weekend's Australian season-opener from seventh place on the starting grid after managing the tyres beautifully and doing one less stop than his closest rivals.
The Finn was fastest again in free practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix on Friday with Grosjean 10th and sixth in the two sessions at Sepang.
Allison told reporters afterwards that Grosjean was at a disadvantage because he did not have the same package as Raikkonen.
"He's not had an easy weekend either here or there (Australia), because we haven't been able to provide two cars in exactly the same configuration on either occasions," said Allison.
"In Melbourne on Friday he was running a step behind Kimi in terms of his aero package, and then he had the upgrade for Saturday morning but then Saturday was disturbed by the weather. Here, once again, we only have one set of (new) kit and we've chosen to run that with Kimi and Romain is disadvantaged for that."
Two Factors
Allison blamed the situation on Formula One regulations forbidding testing during the season, leaving all upgrades to be tested on race weekends.
"You try to upgrade the cars as fast as you can and generally speaking, that means that you're always going to have one set of kit ahead of the second set and that almost inevitably means that one driver gets to try it before there is a second one available," he added.
"We will always try to get two sets available but it's not always possible. So he (Grosjean) has had a difficult set of circumstances and he's also up against a team mate who is really firing on all cylinders so those are the two things."
Allison said a combination of patience and a good car had helped Raikkonen, who made his comeback last season after two years out, regain his form of old.
"He's certainly very, very relaxed and confident this year. He drove the race incredibly patiently. I think he knew he had a good car under him," Allison said of Melbourne.
"He knew he didn't have to scamper up behind the group in front and he looked after the tyres, only going quickly when he needed to. It was just a very mature and smooth, fast race."

The 1st Wogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling in Tibet was founded by Drigung Tertön Nüden Dorje, an embodiment of Tibet's great yogi Milarepa. During the Cultural Revolution in Tibet, Most Ven. Ontül Rinpoche escaped Tibet and in early 70's he founded Wogmin Thubten Shedrup Ling Monastery in Tso Pema in order to preserve the spiritual knowledge and tradition started by Lord Jigten Sumgon the founder of Drigung Kagyu Order of Tibetan Buddhism.
After coming back to India from Ladakh, in 1971 from the local Maharaja, Ontül Rinpoche bought a piece of land at Tso Pema (Rewalsar, Himachal Pradesh, India) and build a monastery from the donations which he received from the people of Ladakh. With the help of monastery monks Ontül Rinpoche managed to construct a monastery on this piece of land. Tso Pema means the "Lotus Lake", and this is one of the sacred places where Guru Padmasambhava demonstrated his miraculous powers. The purpose of his exhibiting miracles on that place was to subdue the king and the people of that region, which was then known as Sahor. It took many years for Ontül Rinpoche to complete the monastery with the sacred objects, ritual instruments, and other necessary things.
There are about 50 monks ranging in age from 5 to 74 years old, many of the young monks are orphans, semi-orphans and from poor family trying to survive in a difficult situation as their parents are barely able to survive. The compassionate Ontül Rinpoche accepted many of these young monks and with the intentions to maintain the pure Buddhist Tradition in the monastery. The Monastery is situated in Tso Pema (Lotus Lake), a well known lake where Guru Rinpoche performed miracles which has a place in the history of Tibetan Buddhism and are told over and over again to younger generations. Many Buddhist from all over the world frequent this sacred lake during their pilgrimage to holy places of Buddhism.

I too have lost a stand-off only to find it another day...
But I have a more recent Needle in the Haystack story.
I was packing up the house in Tucson last week and had numerous cardboard boxes left over so I took them to the local recycle dumpster. As I was tossing in the boxes I felt a strange thing, looking down at my left hand I knew what happened, my wedding ring had flown off my finger into the dumpster....
Luckily I was tossing into the bin closest to the door, and the dumpster had been emptied the day before. I opened the door and about 50 bundles of newspaper spilled out, I moved the bundles to another dumpster begin sifting through the dumpster,shinning my flashlight around in search of the ring, after about and hour and a half I moved a chair out and shined the light around and WOW!! there was my ring... I was both relieved and amazed, after that I wore gloves while unloading the boxes. The next day I went to get my ring re-sized....

But I have a more recent Needle in the Haystack story.
Oooohh... I have one of those....
Some years back, I was working for Verizon in midtown Manhatten. One days, I had a recently acquired tanzanite and diamond ring in my pocket. It was in a cotton lined film cannister. Unfortunately I was wearing a pair of pants with extremely shallow pockets. At the end of the day, I noticed that it was no longer there. Frantically looked around for it, and then asked one of the cleaning crew, if they had seen a film cannister around my desk. They said that they had thought it was just trash, and it probably went downstairs with the last batch of trash.
After many internalized obsceneties, I went down to the security desk and asked where the trash was gathered. I explained the situation and they let me back into the dock area where all the dumpsters were. As I climbed into one of the dumpster the security guard asked me what I was doing. I explained that I was going to find my tanzanite and diamond ring and asked him what he would do in my situation. He thought about it for a bit and finally relented. He said I couldn't make a mess and that the garbage trucks would be coming around midnight to haul stuff away. Oh goodie.... now I had a deadline.
The average size office building tower in midtown Manhatten generates an obscene amount of trash in a given workday... honestly I don't think most people think about it past the little trash bin underneath their desk. It's certainly a different proposition when you look up at the mountain from the loading dock and the end of the day.
For the next 6 or 7 hours, I methodically dismantled the company's daily offering to the trash gods. As I searched, I was also looking for clues as to what floor and department's trash I was working through, hoping I could work my way back to the trash from my floor. Shortly, after midnight, I became more and more worried I would soon hear the groan and strain of the large doors letting the garbage trucks in. I was sweaty, tired, and a tad more odorous than when I had I started. Then, like some cheesy movie, I started recognizing discarded mail addressed to my floor (small internal "yip"), then mail addressed to co-workers (larger internal "yip"). At that point, I was pretty much in dog-after-a-bone mode.
Wait!!!... was that a flash of black & gray? Does black & gray actually flash? No... it could just be someone else's film or empty canister, but then there wouldn't be a happy ending. I climbed back on the dock. Opened the canister, and verified it was in fact mine (big "Yeeeeessss!!" echoing off the walls). Instead of my pocket, the canister and it's contents went immediately into the internal pockets of my knapsack. I double-checked that there was little or no evidence of any havoc on the docks or in the dumpsters(?!?!), before I went up to the security desk to let them know that I had found my ring (they were a little shocked and all wanted to see it). Then I headed off to Port Authority to catch the last bus home.... it had been a long day.

Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet Review
I hope you're in the mood for a short review today. The folks at Other World Computing have sent us a device that falls into the "gizmo's" category. It's a device that is meant only to make life of constantly recharging devices a bit more convenient. The Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is a simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get proposition. While USB ports are ubiquitous on the front and back of PCs these days, and some motherboard manufacturers feature USB ports that can supply triple the current for faster charging, it turns out that some folks actually turn their PC off at night or when it's not being used... odd, I know. The Power2U USB Wall Outlet can be installed wherever you and your family's rechargeable devices tend to congregate around your abode. Not much to it, but here's a quick look at what you get.
Closer Look:
The packaging for the Power2U is a simple three-color affair in the usual want-to-pull-your-hair-out-trying-to-get-it-open bubble packaging. The front lists four functionality features to look forward to. This includes that it is UL listed, it eliminates bulky adapters, it uses Newer Technology's "Smart Power" feature, and it installs into most standard 15A wall outlets.
The back of the retail packaging tells us that the Power2U Wall Outlet is compatible with all USB devices that are from the 1.1 generation up through the latest USB 3.0 incarnation. We also learn that the doors covering the two USB charging outlets are spring loaded and when closed and not in use will shut power off, thereby eliminating any "vampire draw" when you are not using them. The unit is a standard DC 5.2V, 2000mA (10W) charger. These are the same charging specifications you will find as a standard USB port on your PC, excluding the USB '3x power' that are found as a feature on many motherboards these days.
The Power2U USB Wall Outlet is designed to be an easy DIY product that anyone can install themselves. Upon wrestling the unit out of its plastic bubble you find a very nice set of comprehensive instructions to guide you through the installation of the unit. I installed the Power2U in a couple places in my home, different areas of which were wired or upgraded at different times, and it appeared that most any installation situation is covered in the illustrated instructions.
Having a look at the unit out of the packaging, it seems to be of very high quality. The plastic has a very nice finish to it, and the face plate comes with nicely fitted plugs to cover the two screws that hold the faceplate on. As far as installation, all that is needed is a standard and Phillips screwdriver and possibly a wire stripper (what do you think of my wife's set of hot pink Snap-On drivers?).
Installation with the outlet is simple and painless. One thing to keep in mind is that the Power2U requires a receptacle box that is 16 cubic inches or larger. This covers the vast majority of modern duplexes. However, in some older homes you may come across a few that are too small or a tight fit. The Newer Technology website has a non-exhaustive list of receptacle boxes that are compatible with the Power2U USB outlet. As an installation note, if you are going to install or replace outlets DIY style, then a neon tester, voltmeter, or a tick-tracer are a good investment. While installing the Power2U I found out that I had a circuit that was not shut off by the main breaker for some reason. Needless to say, thinking a circuit is not live can lead to a dangerous and unpleasant experience.
On the next page you will find the specifications for the Newer Technology Power2U USB Wall Outlet.

More Boone hotels included in carbon monoxide investigation
More Boone hotels included in carbon monoxide investigation
Police reviewing the deaths of three people from carbon monoxide poisoning in the same Boone hotel room say they are investigating two other hotels owned by the same company because employees and equipment was shared between the businesses.
Boone Police Capt. Andy LeBeau told The Charlotte Observer that the investigation into the deaths will likely continue well into July, then the findings will be given to prosecutors to determine if charges should be filed.
The three people who died all stayed in the same room at the Best Western Plus Blue Ridge Plaza. Police are also questioning workers and gathering records from the Sleep Inn and the Country Inns & Suites in Boone, which are owned by the same family and run by the management company.
