Welcome to 2012 everybody!
It has been a while since i've had the time to write on this blog, so I thought i'd update you on the latest happenings from Enigin.
2011 was a great year for Enigin. Early in the year we launched our new Eniscope Hub product which has been a bigger hit than we had imagined. Many very large global companies are now using Enigin energy-saving products to help reduce their electricity bills and to gain visibility over their carbon footprint. We have issued several remote software updates responding to our distributors' suggestions and now have a great platform for moving forward with this ground-breaking product.
Over the next few months we will be building on this success and launching a number of new features which will make the product even better…
Stay tuned for more information very soon!

CD/LP/Track Review
Michael Lington: Stay With Me (2004)
Saxophonist Michael Lington pulls it all together on his fourth CD, a work that should lift him from the fringe and put him on stage with the top tier of smooth jazz talent. What makes this recording so good? Lington's a passionate player who's had some tasty hits before, of course, but here he picks ten songs that all work together, gets top producers and writers such as Paul Brown and Brian Culbertson, and concentrates on making ten pop-jazz songs that could all make the charts if given a chance. And it couldn't hurt that he's now on Dave Koz's Rendezvous label, which Lington calls a "musician's label."
All you have to hear is the first single and the lead song, "Show Me," to see that Lington's shooting for the top. Its guitar intro and sax hook of the year make a bold statement. Just as good is "A New Day," a slow-tempo groove with another memorable sax hook. The most interesting song here is "Apasionada," which was written by Michael and Daniel Sembello. Michael Sembello is best known for his Flashdance hit "Maniac," but this song sounds like a movie theme you've had bouncing around in your head for a long time. It's an anthem, much like Gato Barbieri's "Europa (Earth's Cry)."
Elsewhere, "Pacifica" is a sunny Rippingtons-like slice of pop, "Two of a Kind" is slow funk featuring guitarist Chuck Loeb, "Call Me Late Tonight" is a tasty ballad featuring Paul Brown on the mixing board and on his guitar, and "Hey You" has a late 1970s vibe and Paul Jackson Jr.'s guitar. Lington closes the CD with a straightforward reading of Paul McCartney's "My Love," which is just good enough for a classic song.
Track Listing: Show Me; Don't Go; A New Day; Apasionada; Pacifica; Two of a Kind; Call Me Late Tonight; Hey You; Stay With Me; My Love
Personnel: Michael Lington, saxophones; Brian Culbertson, keyboards; Paul Jackson Jr., guitar; Paul Brown, guitar; Wendy Moten, vocals; Roberto Vally, keyboards and bass; DC, programming; Michael Thompson, guitar; Chuck Loeb, guitar; Alex Al, bass; Stephen Lu, keyboards; Nick Lane, trombone; Michael Sembello, keyboards and vocals

Wednesday-Night Wine Flights merge science and education, two ideas that have been divided since a series of high-school chemistry teachers was arrested for dancing on laboratory tables in 1987. Sample three wines that have been hand-selected to complement three Cassis appetizers. Small-plate possibilities from the menu of French-influenced American fare include dumplings, baked brie on toasted baguette slices, and black-olive tapenade with sliced radish dippers. The owner and head chef selects wine and food pairings a week prior to each flight, so if you'd like to know what comestibles are coming, check the Cassis Facebook page on Tuesday evening, or simply call ahead.

Pittsburgh Symphony was founded in 1896, and its ambitions were as big as its sound right from the start—Andrew Carnegie, an early backer, and Victor Herbert, a flashy conductor with a taste for the theatrical, reportedly claimed that theirs was the best orchestra in the country. The century that followed was no less dramatic, studded with conductors who made a lasting impression with their own distinct styles, a Depression-era hiatus, and even a run-in with the law for flouting a statute forbidding secular music-making on Sundays. The resulting controversy renewed public interest in the Symphony, vaulting it once again to its current status as a nationally renowned organization.
Converted from an opulent movie palace into the Pittsburgh Symphony's home in 1971 when Americans swore off movies in favor of high culture forever, the magnificent Heinz Hall delights audiences with stellar acoustics. Two 15-foot crystal chandeliers and an array of Levanto marble columns cast a glow over the Great Hall.
Each year, hundreds of spirit connoisseurs gather around the ample sampling tables of the Pittsburgh Whiskey and Fine Spirits Festival. Seasoned tasters and curious beginners alike sip not only whiskies and scotches from the likes of Balvenie, Laphroaig, and Knob Creek, but also sample gin, vodka, tequila, and other spirits crafted by distilleries from throughout the globe. Attendees can make a beeline for their favorite firewater or take an opportunity to try a pour of pricier brands reserved only for movie stars who need it to support their barley-based DNA structure as gourmet appetizers and live music add to the cocktail-party atmosphere. Meanwhile, guests can browse and bid on a silent auction that benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's western-Pennsylvania chapter.
Museums typically showcase art in carefully curated rooms. At Mattress Factory, however, the room itself is the art. Since 1977, the museum's two buildings have housed a permanent collection of contemporary installation art—room-sized works that engulf the entire space. In Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Dots Mirrored Room, mirrored ceilings and walls infinitely reflect a trio of fluorescent dots painted on a white formica floor. In Greer Lankton's It's all about ME, Not You, astroturf lines a floor covered in artful arrangements of grotesque dolls that form shrines to artists such as Patti Smith and Candy Darling.
To further immerse guests, Mattress Factory's exhibitions are paired with educational programs that range from lectures to hands-on art projects. Along with stimulating the public, the museum stimulates the growth of artists through its residency program, which invites participants to create installations while living near the museum, a much more practical alternative to hiding a secret cot in the coatroom.
Rising six floors above the historic Strip District, the Senator John Heinz History Center's handsome, redbrick exterior houses 275,000 square feet of exhibits and materials devoted to Western Pennsylvania. Long-term exhibits include From Slavery to Freedom, which traces the quest for equality from the antislavery movement to the modern struggles for Civil Rights, using indenture, manumission, and freedom papers from the Allegheny County recorder of deeds as starting points. Pittsburgh: A History of Innovation highlights the land's original inhabitants, the journey of Lewis and Clark, and the modern superhighways, whereas the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum delves into the history and lore of local athletics, from the Steelers' Immaculate Reception to Bill Mazeroski's title-clinching home run in game seven of the 1960 World Series. The museum also hosts nationally renowned traveling exhibits; its current offering is 1968: The Year That Rocked America which explores this decade-defining year using evocative objects, multimedia displays, and more than 100 artifacts related to 1968's seminal moments.

A difficult set of truths is emerging for the South Dakota Retirement System. The system's benefits are overly generous, especially for early retirees, and the State Investment Council isn't able to produce the earnings necessary to keep the system in financial balance.
That's why talks began Thursday about changing the retirement ages for employees in the years ahead.
The trustees already had made a variety of technical changes in July and further changes on Wednesday that still left the system in the hole, short-term, by an estimated $115 million.
This week, over the course of two days, the trustees engaged in a series of discussions that suggest significant departures appear necessary from the system's traditional standards.
In one big change the trustees adopted a lower annual target for rate of return on investments. Effective July 1, 2013, the target will be reduced to 7.25 percent from the current 7.75 percent. The 7.25 percent would be used for the next five years, then move to 7.5 percent in 2018.
That means the trustees have lowered their expectations for earnings that can be produced from investments of the $8 billion SDRS portfolio. If income will be less, the other side of the equation requires that benefits and expenses be reduced.
On Thursday, the trustees received a presentation from the system's professional consultants that indicates $400 million of savings could be accomplished by:
- Increasing the normal retirement age by two years to 67.
- Delaying early retirement by two years until age 57.
- Adding five years to the formula for determining eligibility for special early retirement, so that a person would need a combination equaling 90 of years in age and years of service.
- Adjusting early retirement, so it becomes financially less rewarding.
The age-67 change would save an estimated $100 million. Delaying early retirement to 57, along with accompanying other changes, would save an estimated $160 million. Changing special early retirement eligibility and related changes would save an estimated $140 million.
SDRS administrator Rob Wylie and Doug Fiddler from Buck Consultants repeatedly emphasized the three topics weren't formal recommendations but were intended to provide a basis for consideration by the trustees.
Wylie said they are part of broader discussions about getting the system into balance long-term amid expectations of longer lifetimes for retirees and smaller investment earnings.
Speakers noted several times that Social Security is gradually adjusting its retirement age upward from 65, with 67 set to take effect in 2027.
"We would want to give members a lot of lead time," Fiddler said. "We do know we have some significant subsidies."
The consultants' analysis of SDRS benefit pay-outs showed 25 percent is to cover cost of living adjustments; while 19 percent is for normal retirement benefits, 11 percent for early retirement benefits and 29 percent for special early retirement benefits.
Another 9 percent was spread among various disability and survivor benefits. The rest was spread across several other categories.
Normal retirement is available now at age 65 with three years of service. Early retirement can be invoked at age 55 with three years of service. Special early retirement is available at age 55 using the rule of 85 years combined of age and service.
The public pension system has more than 74,000 members and their families. The 400-plus participating governments include state government, including the state universities, and many school districts, county and municipal governments, law enforcement and special units.
In fiscal 2011 there were 21,457 members who received benefits totaling $371 million.
The backlash was polite but immediate Thursday from some trustees who wanted other concepts to be considered too. The trustees plan a special meeting Oct. 17 to discuss possible reforms.

Organizations joining social networks should understand the commitment of being part of a specific online community. Becoming a member of a social network isn't as important as listening and engaging in the conversations.
One of the most widely used social networks is Facebook. This network provides an assortment of ways organizations can influence their target audiences. Organizations can garner tremendous benefit from social networking on this site, and building valuable, community-oriented groups, applications and pages in this network.
The Power of Facebook
Facebook, the popular online and social networking community, provides organizations the opportunity to really leverage social media with client relations. Amongst the many social media tools, Facebook currently has over 175 million active users and attracts people 30 years of age and older.
Joining Facebook is easy and inexpensive. And if effectively used, organizations can:
- Participate in larger community initiatives – One of the things Facebook allows is a composite view of your community. You can see what other sector-specific activities are occurring – from general charity to special interests and demographics. Join and participate, become a larger community member, and in turn attract new contacts and a higher presence in your community.
- Keep an ongoing dialogue with stakeholders – As for every social media tool, organizations need to continue developing their relationship with their target audiences. Write on walls of volunteers with thank you notes or post pictures from your organization's event and tag participants. Updating statuses with relevant information and constant interaction will keep the conversation going.
- Generate Leads – Facebook groups help generate leads. There are many groups created on Facebook for certain demographics and sectors such as education, income and health. To succeed in identifying leads, organizations will need to provide calls-to-action back to their home web site. Facebook does not allow for the exportation of data currently.
- The Facebook Causes page also presents stakeholders another venue for information about the organization and creating social movements through petitions. However, the Facebook causes application does not allow access to contact information for deeper cultivation.
- Introduce a Campaign – An example comes from the Save Darfur Coalition. The coalition launched a multimedia campaign with Facebook as the basis for their "Be a Voice for Darfur" campaign. The movement called for people to sign electronic postcards to send a message to President Obama to help end the genocide in Darfur. Additionally, Save Darfur raised over $75,000+ from the Facebook Cause page with over 1 million members and 77,000+ signatures on the petition page.
Once organizations become accustomed to engaging in online conversations, they can start thinking about brand awareness as part of their next strategic move. With over 175 million active users, Facebook has a vast network. Organizations can leverage the features Facebook has to offer to help create brand awareness. Adding logos, videos, and more information will help with branding, but the best way for organizations to build their brands in Facebook is by engaging in the community and being transparent.
Facebook can provide organizations a location for dispensing information and communicating to target audiences. This social utility also provides forms of marketing such as the use of applications and community development. .
- Facebook applications are a popular activity. Due to Facebook's open API, applications are constantly built. They are great for attracting users to an organization's website or service. Organizations creating applications need to provide substance to attract community members. Take the Nature Conservancy for example. In 2008, they presented their plan to help global warming with their Lil Green Patch Facebook application. The conservancy thoroughly planned their Facebook campaign strategy with a value proposition and their call to action. At one point the Lil Green Patch was ranked the 6th most popular application on Facebook. The application garnered 41,000+ fans.
Applications have to be well designed and have clear value for the community. Without a compelling reason to adopt an application, users will let them fall to the wayside. It's a crowded application marketplace on Facebook.
- Community development. Facebook offers a great way to aggregate community members to communicate and engage with organizations. The organizations can use their networking skills to foster their relationships. The group pages offer a starting point for conversations with discussion forums. As with blogs, any negative feedback should be taken as an opportunity to listen and engage. Communities want valuable information, non-intrusive updates, and an open approach for dialogue.
Facebook also offers advertising as a business solution feature. Blogger Chris Web believes that advertising is not for everyone, but works well for more focused efforts. He "suggests the way to reach Facebook users is to engage and participate with the community using the tools Facebook provides."
Additionally, Facebook offers a rating system using "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" signs (similar to the comments section on Digg). This rating system is applied to status updates, videos, photos, links, and notes – practically anything you can comment or add on Facebook. Organizations can use ratings to further receive insights from their stakeholders by judging the sentiment.
Organizations can even use their Facebook Page layout to their advantage. The Advance Guard, a new media consultancy, shared a free whitepaper about Facebook Pages. The paper encourages brands to leverage Facebook by using their platform capabilities. These functionality options allow brands to interact more with stakeholders and actually become a larger part in the community. In addition to creating applications for campaigns, the FBML (Facebook Markup Language) application allows enhanced page customization – enabling organizations to really leverage Facebook's features.
Facebook represents the many social networks offered. The important part of engaging through social networks is fully exploring and making use of the features these networks provide. Organizations have an opportunity to leverage Facebook for marketing and engaging in online communities.

LONDON, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Based on its recent analysis of web-based software platforms for tissue analysis and quantification, Frost & Sullivan recognise PathXL (Northern Ireland) with the 2012 European Web-based Software Platforms Enabling Technology Award.
"PathXL's pioneering digital pathology solutions are highly versatile," notes Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Prasanna Vadhana Kannan. "They allow pathologists to adopt digital pathology for inter-laboratory collaboration and then expand the utility of these systems to diverse digital pathology services such as remote consultations, quality assurance programmes, proficiency testing and training, quantitative imaging and pattern recognition."
The proprietary PathXL TMA (tissue microarray) software represents a biomarker discovery tool that can facilitate the identification and scoring of tissue biomarkers in high throughput tissue microarray format. As a preclinical biomarker discovery research-enabling tool, the PathXL TMA software is entirely web-enabled and allows researchers to share TMA slides instantly across large geographical distances, score the slides simultaneously, and integrate dispersed research laboratories.
PathXL's software operates with a large spectrum of image formats, spanning different whole slide scanning instruments. PathXL puts workflow at the heart of its products, bringing new capabilities to customers who are investing in hardware to scan tissue pathology.
"The company's products are designed to integrate with existing IT systems within research and clinical laboratories enabling PathXL to develop solutions for a wide application range," adds Prasanna Vadhana Kannan. "PathXL's digital pathology educational and management solutions underpin a wide range of applications including education and training in pathology, digital slide archiving, cloud-based digital pathology, biobanking, biomarker discovery and data management, and web-based image analysis for tissue research."
PathXL Ltd. has been actively partnering with cancer research programmes in Northern Ireland, providing the backbone tissue management software for these initiatives. The company's web-based solutions have allowed Northern Ireland's research community to share their microscope samples globally with other researchers via the web, thereby improving the identification of disease markers and development of newer cancer therapies.
PathXL has also worked closely with medical and scientific staff at the Northern Ireland Biobank to develop a new comprehensive biobank workflow software platform. This new product - PathXL Biobank- meets the increasing needs of modern biobanks, supporting researchers that need access to human tissues for biomarker discovery.
Digital Pathology Workflow, a configurable solution that manages and streamlines digital pathology workflow in hospitals and pathology laboratories, is PathXL's latest product offering. On the corporate front, PathXL's strategic partnership with DigiPath Inc. in the United States aims to increase user adoption of the suite of PathXL digital pathology educational products.
"PathXL's full range of national and international research collaborations emphasize the uniqueness behind the company's digital pathology services that offer exceptional speed, flexibility, and objectivity needed for biomarker assessment in particular," concludes Prasanna Vadhana Kannan. "Frost & Sullivan feels that PathXL's integrated digital pathology solutions are poised for easy transition and high recognition."
The Enabling Technology Award is presented to the company that has excelled in enabling the creation of new products and applications and/or has enhanced current products. Potential for market acceptance and breadth of access to technology are other criterion in which the company is seen to have excelled.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognise companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Just Got started with MEP. Have been working with AutoCadd for years. Can't seem to change the units from Metric to Architectural. Am I stuck with Metric or how can I change it?

Set your STARTUP to 1 if you want the wizard every time you start AutoCAD MEP. Or just type UNITS and make your adjustments, it's the same thing. Best thing to do is set your default Template with all these settings so you don't always have to do this every time.

A template contains presets for either METRIC or IMPERIAL, make sure that you are starting with an appropriate template. You can still make changes to UNITS once a dwg is opened, but you cannot change that default type which is inherent to the template from within a DWG. Your PROPERTIES scale values will indicate architecturally, or metrically based upon the template used. You probably want to specify an appropriate QNEW template to ensure that you always have the dimensional format which you favor. You might also want to SYSVDLG > STARTUP and explore the various VARIABLE driven startup options.

One of the WOCS members hand embroidered butterflies and I added a applique band to the center, got to play with my Accuquilt GO Fabric Cutter again
This is the Garden Quilt Top
This quilt top was made from designs found in the Super Sports III pattern book, it was done as a SAL
This is the Birds for Prey top and will go to a Senior Man
Under the Sea Quilt Top, I love the shades of blues on this one and the critters are cute too.
I have also been doing some stitching... this little guy was stitched for a long legged bird quilt, I will be making the Holiday Birds and Dona will be sewing the 4 seasons birds
This is a EQ7 design I made for the Teapot Quilt, which I just happen to be in the middle of making.. I am waiting on the last teapot square to come in to finish this one up
this is the EQ 7 design for my vision of butterflies quilt.
each butterfly has been stitched by a member and they also chose the fabric to border their square. I am waiting on 6 more butterflies to come in to finish this one, can't wait to see how it turns out.
I also have yet another Dolly Mama in the works and she is soon to be finished and I will be starting on the Farm quilt as all those blocks are in. Then it will be on to making Emily's Teal and gray quilt as I just picked up the fabric for that one. Then there is a quilt for Jen to raffle off for their Sunday School Class.. I also have about 6 other family quilts to get busy on.
Plus with all the above, we were out shopping Saturday and I picked up a large box of apples so I can make the much requested Apple Butter...

Senior citizens exercise in a yoga class. The Census Bureau notes that for every 100 women who live to be at least 100 years old, there are 20.7 men who have made it to that age. (Los Angeles Times / February 8, 2007) |
There is good and bad news for women. They still face various forms of discrimination including earning less than their male counterparts, but they will have some measure of revenge by having a better chance to live longer, according to the Census Bureau.
In a report released Monday, the Census Bureau notes that for every 100 women who live to be at least 100 years old, there are just 20.7 men who have reached the same goal. The figures are based on the 2010 Census that counted 53,364 people ages 100 and older in the United States.
Living longer has been a powerful ideological draw for centuries. It was the search for the fabled Fountain of Youth, for example, that sent some from Europe off to the New World as part of the age of exploration.
Since then, science has replaced mythology, and large and steady improvements in trauma medicine, along with pharmacology, clean water and food and access to all forms of care, have helped lengthen life spans, especially in industrialized areas. Why people live longer is a complex dance of genetics and more mundane factors such as income and diets in different cultures.
According to the census data, the number of centenarians, while large, was still small compared with the overall population. Fewer than 2 people in 10,000 are centenarians. More than half of centenarians, about 62.5%, were 100 or 101 years old. So-called super-centenarians, those at age 110 and candidates to move into the record books, accounted for just 0.6% of the centenarian population in the United States, the census found.
In 2010, 85.7% of centenarians lived in an urban area, where they probably had better access to healthcare. By region, 17,444 centenarians lived in the South, the favored region. The Midwest had 13,112, the Northeast 12,244 and the West 10,564.
Not surprisingly, the more populous states tended to have more people living past 100 years. At 5,921, California led the states. Alaska with 40 centenarians had the fewest.
Race and ethnicity were also factors. In 2010, 82.5% of centenarians were whites, compared with the 72.4% whites in the total U.S. population, the census said. Among centenarians, 5.8% were Latino; the ethnic group accounted for 16.3% of the population.

text: phorum - Home Education - Re: Chewing his nails untill they bleed! Home Education New Topic | Go to Top | Go to Topic | Search Newer Topic | Older Topic Chewing his nails untill they bleed! Author: Anon Date: 14-05-09 18:43 Ok my 2 precious boys were homeschooled, I loved it, and struggled too so that at it's worst I wished they were at school every second day, but not at it's best. I think that is how it goes sometimes. Then they both really wanted to try school. My oldest is gifted with Aspergers and I thought it would be good for his socialisation because we struggled to find friends for him with homeschooling and he was constanly complaining about not having enough friends or wanting to see the couple he had all the time. It has been good for him socially. He loves having kids his age around and is learning valuable lessons about fitting in, which he may need to be "succesfull" in a non aspie world. I still prefer homeschool. Fitting in is something I never cared for, although I see its merits. Here is the problem. Since going to school he has started chewing his fingernails and when there is no nail left he chews the skin sometimes untill he draws blood. When on Holiday it gets much better, but when at school it is incessant! Boy no 2 is happy peacfull and well behaved on holiday when at school grumpy, wingy, cries more, temper and hard to be around. Both boys insist they want to stay at school and are happier there. What would you do??? Any comments??? I just want the best thing all round. Reply To This Message Re: Chewing his nails untill they bleed! Author: Linda Date: 15-05-09 09:29 If he's chewing as a habit and wants to stop, there is that 'Stop It' nail paint from pharmacy that's commonly used for thumb-suckers to remind them that it's not a good idea to chew/suck. I think it works best if they personally want to stop. I used to scrub it off as a child but I know other children who have succeeded in breaking habits with this nasty reminder. How long have they been at school? Still settling in, finding their place in the system?? Reply To This Message Re: Chewing his nails untill they bleed! Author: Laurette Longmann Date: 16-06-09 06:59 I would look at putting in some anxiety management strategies, it sounds like even though he enjoys school and is developing social contacts it may be a little more stressful for him that he is articulating.

Continuing Adventures of a Corinthian: Theo Kopestonsky and the Shrine at Kokkinovrysi
When I first visited Corinth as a regular member in December of 2005, I had no idea that Corinth would soon become my new home. I had just spent the fall exploring Greece as a regular member and I was enchanted by all the places I had seen. However, a few glimpses into the drawers of the figurines and I was hooked on Corinthian coroplasty. I began my research on the assemblages from small shrines at Corinth in 2006 and soon I became focused on one particular stele shrine—Kokkinovrysi. Located just outside the city walls by a spring on the western edge of the city, the small site of Kokkinovrysi consisted of a Classical stele shrine which was later covered by Roman buildings. Excavated in the sixties, the site of Kokkinovrysi had never been fully published. For my dissertation, I focused on the assemblage, landscape, and ritual during the Classical period.
I became familiar with the system and the site during two seasons as a trench supervisor in Corinth under the direction of Guy Sanders. Two additional years in Greece on ASCSA fellowships allowed me to completely analyze the Kokkinovrysi material and find comparanda from all over the Hellenic world. Through the use of the invaluable storerooms and extensive archives of the Corinth Excavations, I was able to learn the history of the shrine. With the help of the energetic Corinthians and all the museum staff, I was able to slowly reconstruct the life of the shrine, sometimes, by literally putting all the pieces back together.
Reconstruction of the shrine at Kokkinovrysi (drawing by Dan Lamp)
Constructed in the late fifth century B.C., the Kokkinovrysi shrine had a short life of only about a century before it was deliberately closed. An assemblage of terracotta dancing groups, assorted figurines, and miniature vessels was placed on the base of the stele and buried. In addition, a significant amount of fine-ware pottery and a thesauros were found in association with the shrine. The Kokkinovrysi shrine was an important local site of worship to the Nymphs for the Corinthians. Perhaps, offerings were made by young maidens before their marriages or spring water was taken for their nuptial baths. Although small, this shrine provides a vital glimpse into Corinthian religious practice and the significance of water for their culture.
After returning from Greece last year, I completed my writing and then successfully defended my dissertation entitled, Kokkinovrysi: A Classical Shrine to the Nymphs at Corinth in April 2009 at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Currently, I am analyzing the Roman levels at Corinth. In the future, I will be returning to Corinth to give the Roman structures at Kokkinovrysi my full attention.

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is also a long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid. EPA plays a role in heart health and has been shown to help reduce chronic inflammation by modifying the immune response. EPA is also recommended by the American Heart Association and the USDA Dietary Guidelines for its cardiovascular benefits. EPA may also play a role in certain mental disorders.
Most people think fish are the original source of DHA and EPA omega-3s, but it's really the algae in their food chain that contain these important omega-3 fatty acids. Ovega-3 has cut out the middleman--fish--and gone directly to the source, using algae grown outside of the ocean in stainless steel fermentors within an FDA-inspected facility. You can be sure that Ovega-3 is 100% free of PCBs and mercury because it is sourced from plants that are grown outside of the ocean. The result is a completely sustainable and vegetarian source of DHA & EPA.

Individuals who replace a broken boiler could find they are required to perform several other renovations that may help them get cheap electricity and improve their energy efficiency.
Under new government proposals, people making a range of home improvements, such as installing a new boiler or performing a loft conversion, may have to install energy-saving measures worth up to ten per cent of the cost of the work, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The publication noted while the government acknowledges replacing a boiler may be a "distress purchase" made out of necessity, it is keen to encourage householders to use this as an opportunity to lower their carbon footprint and cut heating costs.
Such upgrades could be carried out under the Green Deal, which is intended to encourage people to fit energy efficiency measures and will come into effect later this year.
However, concerns have been raised it may not stimulate the take-up of insulation as much as hoped.

A long-running dispute at one of France's leading biology institutes has culminated in the removal of the director. Developmental biologist Olivier Pourquié, who moved from the United States in 2009 to lead the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, was informed last month that his term as director would end on 1 June. The decision to remove Pourquié—taken by the presidents of the institute's funders, CNRS, INSERM, and the University of Strasbourg—follows months of internal rancor, including anonymous e-mails, libel accusations, and attempts to calm the waters with an external mediator.
Pourquié is a highly regarded developmental biologist who was a Howard Hughes Medical Institute fellow at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in Kansas City before taking over IGBMC. He says he tried to bring transparency and a modern governance structure to the institute, but was blocked by a subset of researchers at the institute who felt threatened by the changes. Alain Beretz, president of the University of Strasbourg, says that while the decision to remove Pourquié was "very difficult," it was "in the best interest of the institute." The personal enmity that had built up made it impossible for Pourquié to lead effectively, he says.
Pourquié says he is not blameless. "I agree there were some mistakes at the beginning of my mandate." For example, an early decision to change the institute's departmental structure proved very unpopular, he says, as did his request that labs not run deficits. "I wasn't very experienced. But I think we were adapting and moving in the right direction." He points out that in his 2½ years as director, he has helped recruit 11 researchers, four of whom have won grants from the European Research Council (ERC) in a highly competitive process, and the institute also won more than €50 million from France's Investment for the Future program.
