Providing Family Chiropractic Care in Schaumburg
Schaumburg, IL (PRWEB) January 15, 2014
Schaumburg Chiropractor Alena Kalamaris has recently announced the build out of a new chiropractic website aimed at increasing awareness for patients.
The chiropractic profession was started in 1895. Today there are around sixty thousand chiropractors in the United States, and it's estimated that about eight percent of the population utilizes their services. As those numbers grow there is more need for patient education.
When contacted at her office Schaumburg Chiropractor Alena Kalamaris said, "I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Schaumburg community. Since opening Access Chiropractic Center in June of 2002, I have had the chance to work with so many wonderful people. Schaumburg is a very large area, and there are far too many people that have never heard the chiropractic story."
Doctor Kalamaris also added, "The unfortunate thing for patients that don't understand chiropractic is that many of them are suffering with problems that we could help. One of the constant projects at our office is to work on ways to raise awareness for chiropractic. The more people understand the benefits of care the apt they are to choose this form of healthcare."
Finally, Doctor Kalamaris, "Our healthcare system is in a real dilemma today. The price of medical services is going up, and the cost of insurance premiums is rising with it. We meet too many patients that are struggling to make ends meet, but I feel that chiropractic care is a great solution for most families. When you look at the outstanding results we produce along with affordable fees, chiropractic care should be used more often. Our hope is that our online presence will give patients the extra information they need."
Doctor Kalamaris and her team at Access Chiropractic Center are happy to answer any questions you may have about care. You can also visit the new website at the following address: http://www.accesschiroschaumburg.com.

Most politicians crave name recognition. But in Illinois, Republican gubernatorial hopeful Jim Ryan is finding his surname a liability in his race with Democrat Rod Blagojevich to succeed incumbent Republican Gov. George Ryan.
The Ryan name used to be so charmed in Illinois politics. For five straight elections spanning 1982 to 1998, voters in the Land of Lincoln sent a Republican named Ryan to Springfield to serve in one of state government's marquee posts.
In every statewide vote during that period, Republican George Ryan emerged a winner, first as the state's two-term lieutenant governor, then as a two-term secretary of state and, finally for the last four years, as governor. But another Republican named Ryan -- Attorney General Jim Ryan -- has found his bid to succeed the retiring George Ryan isn't going so well. That's because the last name he shares with the lame-duck governor is anything but gilded.
Gov. Ryan, who leaves office in January, may have drawn international acclaim for his moratorium on executions. But at home, he is so damaged politically, the fallout could cause his party to lose every major prize in state government this fall.
His troubles date back to his days in the secretary of state office, when his workers traded commercial driver's licenses for bribes, then deposited some of that money into his campaign fund. George Ryan has denied criminal wrongdoing, but a four-year federal corruption probe has killed his political career and resulted in federal indictments against key aides and his campaign fund. Only one in five Illinois voters is satisfied with his job performance, a historic low for an Illinois governor.
Because of those problems, Democrats believe they can win the governor's office for the first time in 30 years, occupy every other major statewide office and control both legislative chambers. The state Supreme Court is already solidly in Democratic hands. The party hasn't faced similar prospects since before World War II.
Most polls now find Jim Ryan trailing his Democratic rival, U.S. Rep. Rod Blagojevich, by from 15 to 22 percentage points. Ryan, who is in his second term as the state's top law enforcement officer and is not related to George Ryan, has tried to bridge the gap by distancing himself from the unpopular governor.
Jim Ryan has gone so far as to demand that the incumbent resign unless he explains what he knew about the licenses-for-bribes scandal that has yielded close to 50 convictions. Gov. Ryan, who has not been charged, dismissed the demand as a campaign stunt.
"Let's be honest," said the attorney general, a former state's attorney in DuPage County near Chicago, "voters do want a change, and voters rightly are upset about this culture of sleaze in our state. I'm upset as a prosecutor. We have to change that, and I intend to change that. Politics in this state needs a bath, and if I'm elected governor, it'll get one."
Despite the attorney general's efforts to establish his own identity, many Illinoisans dont know the difference between the two Ryans. Jim Ryan's own polling has shown that 17 percent of voters mistake him for the scandal-plagued Republican governor, and it' s a situation Democrats seem all too eager to exploit.
"Mr. Ryan is trying to suggest he's the agent for change. Well, it ain't change if you replace one Ryan with another Ryan," Blagojevich said during a recent campaign rally at the Illinois State Fair, parroting a line that surfaces at almost every stop the Chicago congressman makes.
There is a certain cocky edge to Blagojevich, who has served in Congress since 1997 after a brief stint in the Illinois House. Reflective of the frame of mind most Illinois Democrats are in, Blagovich does little to hide his swagger.
"It's been 30 years since we elected a governor," he told a crowd of Democratic supporters on the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. "Thirty years ago, Elvis was alive and doing Vegas. It's been 30 years of Heartbreak Hotel' for the Democrats. But when we win in November, the Republicans will be "All Shook Up."
Beyond Gov. Ryan's problems, Republicans have had to contend with the embarrassing departure of the party's state chairman, House Minority Leader Lee Daniels (R-Elmhurst), amid revelations that his office may have illegally deployed his publicly-funded staff for political campaigning in past legislative elections. Daniels, who has denied wrongdoing, resigned his top party post this summer after Jim Ryan turned over to federal investigators allegations his office received against Daniels.
"We're a national laughingstock," said Blagojevich's running mate, Patrick Quinn, a Democrat seeking to become lieutenant governor. "Are you proud of your Illinois government today with scandal after scandal?"
Jim Ryan's position in the polls and the continuing federal probe into George Ryan's secretary of state tenure have caused fund-raising problems for the attorney general, whose campaign treasury is a third of Blagojevich's. That, in turn, has kept Jim Ryan off the airwaves and unable to remind voters about how he has overcome adversity. Ryan, who has had cancer, lost his 12-year-old daughter to a brain tumor and nearly lost his wife to heart problems during the past four years.
The lack of money hasn't kept Jim Ryan from going after Blagojevich in other ways. He has tried portraying Blagojevich as a puppet of his father-in-law, powerful Democratic Chicago alderman Richard Mell. And, Ryan has begun a new strategy reminding voters that this fall's elections could be an all-or-nothing proposition in which total control of the state could go to Democrats. "This is about some balance in government, some checks and balances,"Ryan said, noting how every Democrat but one on the party's statewide ticket comes from Chicago. "Let's face it, there is more to this state than just Chicago."
To try slowing down the Democratic momentum, Republicans have tried dishing out dirt against House Speaker Michael Madigan (D-Chicago), who is the Democratic state party chairman and father of the Democratic nominee for attorney general, state Sen. Lisa Madigan (D-Chicago), whom polls have placed ahead of her GOP opponent, Joseph Birkett.
Republicans have condemned the speaker for doling out thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded bonuses to his legislative staff before they went on leave to work on his daughter's statewide campaign. Further criticism has been lodged against the speaker's awarding of a $300,000 state grant, in lean economic times, to help a political pal with an interest in show horses upgrade equestrian facilities at the Illinois State Fair.
"It's pretty obvious that the problems that have occurred in the secretary of state's office are going to cause a political problem for the Republican Party. They know that. Thats why they're trying to take some of their droppings and kick them over on me," said the speaker, who has fervently predicted that Democrats will engineer a "clean sweep" on Nov. 5.
If Republicans are to stop that, their only hope is joining in the attacks against George Ryan during his closing days. Borrowing on Jim Ryan's themes, GOP secretary of state candidate Kris O'Rourke Cohn has taken to handing out bars of soap during her campaign stops, promising to clean up the secretary of state office that now is at the root of all the Republican Party's problems.
Convinced his name shouldn't be mud in Illinois, George Ryan bristles at such strategy, accusing her and Jim Ryan of "scandal-mongoring" when their focus should be elsewhere. "They ought to talk about 30 years of solid Republican leadership in this state that has put us in the shape we're in," the governor said.
But for now, the shape Illinois is in is something other Illinois Republicans named Ryan see no need to brag about.

Southern Illinois University says its review of whether former Gov. Rod Blagojevich or his allies tried to influence student admissions at the school turned up two possible cases.
The university says Blagojevich submitted letters of recommendation in 2005 for two applicants to the Carbondale campus law school, but neither applicant was accepted.SIU says its review of applications to its other schools, including its campus in Edwardsville, from 2002 through last year turned up no other examples of Blagojevich trying to use political muscle to press admissions.
SIU's review was in response to a federal prosecutor's subpoena that followed Chicago Tribune stories reporting that the U of I admitted politically connected applicants over more qualified students.

A flu strain has become impervious to a widely used drug called Tamiflu, prompting scientists to worry about the disease's ability to resist treatment.
Just a few years ago, many experts believed the drug was so cleverly designed that a widespread outbreak of Tamiflu-resistant flu was unlikely.

The children are being trained to become either thrifty or spendthrifty.
The other parties are no better, and the Liberals, in particular, misleadingly use their opposition to needed corporate income tax cuts as a way of justifying their own spendthrifty plans.
Special interests tend to grow self-rewarding and spendthrifty.
I was way more spendthrifty though, I wasn't too afraid of running short of supplies in part because the game seemed to provide when I needed it.
The way I see it, there's four levels of holiday partying, from least to most spendthrifty: 1. Renting out a room or entire restaurant 2. Having your house party catered 3. Preparing an elaborate five-course meal for guests at home 4. Having a potluck

Yesterday Prince Charles visited Podlasie, more specifically he went to Bialowieza National Park and to a small town, Kruszyniany, to visit the Tartars. You can see a slide show of his visit here. At the Park, he learned more about the last primeval forest in Europe and its role in helping save the bison, Europe's largest mammal. There are efforts to include more of Bialowieza Forest in the National Park Reserve, and so Prince Charles was asked to be the Park's ambassador, to which according to the daily Gazeta Wyborcza he agreed.
In Kruszyniany, he visited the local mosque and was treated to local specialties: pierekaczewnik (a Tatar specialty with pasta dough and meat filling), pieremiacze, bliny, kołduny and drożdżówka (a sweet cake made of flour, yeast, milk, and sugar). All that was embellished with a Tartar dance show performed by the youth group Buńczuk.
The newspaper reporter overheard a woman saying the following: "Camilla isn't coming. On TV they said her back hurts. But perhaps it's not surprising, since we know that Podlasie is for tough women, not princesses."

Research Interests
The bone cell microenvironment consists of bone forming osteoblasts, bone resorbing osteoclasts and thei precursors, as well as immune and vascular cells. Complex endocrine and local signals are integrated to mediate bone cell development and function. This group's research focuses on understanding select aspects of the cell and molecular interactions that are required for normal bone development as well as those that may contribute to age-associated and inflammatory-mediated pathological bone loss.
Photo caption: Panel on top shows scanning electron micrograph of isolated osteoclast resorbing bone. Panel on bottom is a cartoon depicting cytokine and cell interactions that may contribute to recruitment, differentiation, and activation of bone resorbing osteoclasts (depicted in red).

2013 Ford Focus ST: Fuel Economy Update for January
February 4, 2013
During the month of January, we put just over 1,300 miles on our long-term 2013 Ford Focus ST. That mileage total is a bit low against our usual 12-month target of 20,000, but don't worry, I'm a fan of the Focus ST and a long road trip in it is on my to-do list. Over that 1,300-mile stretch, by the way, we put in 56.9 gallons of 91 octane fuel and the Ford averaged 23.1 mpg.
That monthly average is higher than our lifetime average of 21.8 mpg in the Focus ST, though with 6,500 miles on the odometer, there are plenty of miles ahead of us still. Given how fun this car is on a back road, though, it's doubtful that we'll raise our average to the EPA's optimistic 26 mpg combined rating. The Ford's city rating is 23, while the highway rating is 32 mpg.
Range will likely come into play when we take the Focus ST on a road trip, as we have yet to make it to 300 miles on a single tank. Of course, that's hardly surprising with the hot hatch's tiny 12.2-gallon tank.
Erin Riches, Senior Editor @ 6,504 miles

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I started playing WAR soon after launch, went through most of the game to level 34 without so much as a SC popping. After a month server transfers from Marienberg (my first server) had an option of transferring to another server, a friend of mine chose Magnus. As soon as we transferred and got into playing, SC's started popping non-stop. End game RvR wasn't available yet. so to progress we started to PvE to gear up. We started Bastion Stair, then moved to City dungeons, and onto Lost Vale.
We as a guild with multiple groups pushing through Lost Vale were ahead of the entire server in terms of gear and organization and quickly slowed the opposition in keep and and zone control. Soon we realized that progressing through Lost Vale a few nights a week and RvR the rest kept us busy enough to keep playing, but as our clear times went from days to a day to a few hours, there wasn't so much to do after that. RvR or PvP slowed to only peak hours, gearing slowed because we had everything to offer at the time, alts gave some of us alternate avenues to keep playing, though those SC's/zones started slowing as well.
I guess the final straw for me was quite a small issue that may not affected me greatly but felt. at the time was the final straw for a class that didn't have much going for it except for a small role in RvR and a less effective role in PvE compared to other classes in the game. It was a class a class nerf to something that kept survivability up, though still keeping damage minimal. The buffs that followed didn't make up for the loss of survivability and only minimally raising damage output.
I guess the appeal of playing something that wasn't the norm (WoW) kept everyone playing, not too much drama, a lot of rivalries between factions and across factions on a personal level kept the game fresh. Everyone knew everyone. Went back to WoW and nothing like this existed unlike the Vanilla days. Tried Aion, though it almost mimicked WAR's community on a server level. bans and such destroyed that pretty quickly. There are probably tons of good MMO's to try, but I do like the polish and support of big name MMO's to smaller ones without the investment that they may not have from players. Hopefully SWTOR fills this gap.

Where a VAT registered person makes supplies of goods or services to another VAT registered person, subject to the standard or reduced rate, they must issue a full VAT invoice as this is the customer evidence to validate input tax claims.
Having said that, it is now possible for input tax claims to be allowed without documentary evidence, providing sufficient evidence of entitlement can be given to HMRC. Such claims are at HMRC's discretion. There is no need to give a VAT invoice to a non-registered person unless he asks for one.
Full VAT invoices must show:
- an identifying number;
- name, address and VAT registration number of the supplier;
- name and address of the customer;
- date of issue and tax point;
- the unit price, and a description of the goods or services supplied.
For each description, the invoice must show the quantity of goods or extent of services; the charge made excluding VAT; the rate of VAT; any discount offered and, of course, the total VAT charged (shown in Sterling).
Zero-rated or exempt supplies must be shown separately or on a separate invoice.
'Less detailed' and 'modified' VAT invoices
Apart from full VAT invoices, there are also 'less detailed' and 'modified' VAT invoices, which are only applicable to retail sales.
Less detailed invoices can be issued for VAT-inclusive supplies of £250 or less and need only show: name, address and VAT registration number of the supplier; the date and tax point; a description of the goods or services, and the VAT-inclusive total for each rate of VAT involved.
The VAT amount is then calculated by applying the VAT fraction (1/6 when the standard rate is 20%).
Note that exempt supplies cannot be shown on a less detailed VAT invoice.
The supplier can adapt credit card vouchers to constitute less detailed invoices by adding his registration number, a description of the goods or services, and the appropriate VAT rate, but if he gives a receipt as well, only one of them can be the VAT invoice.
Modified VAT invoices can be issued by retailers with the customer's agreement and even for sales over £250. They should show the VAT-inclusive value of each positive rated supply, then at the bottom: the total VAT-inclusive value of the positive rated supplies; the VAT due on them in Sterling; the VAT-exclusive value of the supplies, and the value of any zero-rated or exempt supplies.
If in any doubt, full VAT invoices should be issued.

How Much More Downside Will We See in Risk Assets Before We Get a More Tradable Bounce?
An analysis of key risk indicators.
The key currency risk gauges are telling me that some more short-term weakness may be in store for risk assets. Unfortunately, this idea is not being disputed by any evidence coming from bond-land either.
Let's take a look at how things are looking right now:
The euro / Japanese yen currency cross is going to head lower – but when?
Click to enlarge
The chart above shows the euro / yen cross (EURJPY) on a daily basis going back to the beginning of the year. Based on the wave count on the chart, the EURJPY appears to either have completed wave iv (higher) of wave 2 (lower) or it may still have some more work to do before wave iv is completed.
With the EURJPY at just under 106 currently, the downside target for wave v (based on wave v roughly matching wave i in magnitude) is down at around 104.80. The question is whether there is one more short-term spurt to the upside before the downside target is reached. This morning's action may give us the answer. I will be confident in saying that EURJPY's next move is lower (not higher then lower) if 105.807 is breached on the downside. A decrease in the EURJPY in the short-term would be a short-term win for the risk bears out there.
The EURJPY is one of two key "risk" gauges that I use. The other gauge is the Aussie dollar / Japanese yen cross (AUDJPY), which will be covered later. Before I get to the AUDJPY, I wanted to check the other key cross for the euro: the euro / US dollar cross (EURUSD).
The euro / US dollar currency cross should also see lower levels -- but it, too, may have some upside first.
Click on enlarge
The chart above shows the EURUSD on a monthly basis instead of just a daily basis. My motivation here is to get an idea of where the big picture forces may be pulling the EURUSD. Based on my wave count on the chart, the EURUSD appears to be in a correction higher as part of a bigger-picture move lower (wave c & ii of wave 3 lower). The upside target for wave c & ii will be 1.38561 (from its current level of 1.32321 as of 10:48 a.m., Monday, April 30).
So, is it worth it to try to play for the upside from 1.323 to 1.385? Support for the EURUSD on the daily chart comes in at 1.30. That's quite a bit of room to the downside before even the first technical level of support is reached. To me, it's a bit too much of a risk (especially with the chance that any day can bring about new scary headlines). I would rather play the upside in risk assets that should accompany this type of rise in the EURUSD by owning stocks (US stocks would be my preference). Once the EURUSD makes it up to resistance at 1.385, I would actually feel comfortable selling the EURUSD short in anticipation of the powerful wave iii of 3 that should follow.
For right now, based on the EURJPY's short-term chart and potential break of support at 105.807 and the room that the EURUSD has before its nearest support is tested, I'd have to be leaning towards safety.
How about our other risk gauge -- the Aussie dollar / Japanese yen cross (AUDJPY)?
The Aussie dollar / Japanese yen cross is pointing to more downside in the short-term.
Click to enlarge
The AUDJPY appears to be in wave v of A lower with a downside target of 82.301 from the current (as of 11:12 a.m., Monday, April 30) level of 83.138.
This downside projection matches up with the short-term picture that the EURJPY is giving us. It is also likely that both the AUDJPY and EURJPY will see a corrective bounce higher once the downside targets are tested.
So, we may see some more short-term weakness in risk assets, which should then lead to a tradable bounce. I would be looking to add long exposure to risk assets in general as the downside targets in key gauges like the EURJPY and AUDJPY reach attractive reward / risk entries.
Now, are the bond markets echoing this short-term caution? Let's take a look...
The yield on the 10-Year US Treasury Note still has plenty of room on the downside before my downside target is hit.
Click to enlarge
Not much has changed in my overall analysis of the 10-year Treasury yield. My call is for a move down to around 1.5%. Yields have, in fact, drifted lower since my last report on April 19 even as US equity prices have risen.
At this point, I'm not very happy to see such bearish technical evidence coming from the Treasury market. This tells me that one or both of the following is coming to fruition: There is major trouble coming in the economic and/or geopolitical news flow; and/or the FOMC is doing anything and everything in its power to juice asset prices up further (which clearly could have negative long-term ramifications even if the short-term picture is rosier).
In terms of how all of this fits into today's report, the likelihood of lower Treasury yields and the potentially bearish message that sends falls in line with the weak short-term picture coming from the AUDJPY and EURJPY. While various technical indicators indicate stocks will rally, nfortunately, the currency and bond markets are much bigger than that sector and tend to be more reliable so you can count me as being cautious on risk assets for the short-term despite any very short-term bounces that may occur.
Before I wrap up, here's a check-up on the key European sovereign debt yields:
There's been a noticeable decrease in yields for the high risk countries over in Europe. Normally, that should mean good things for equity prices over there (and possibly here). Since our last check-in on April 19, the iShares MSCI Italy Fund (EWI) is up over 4%, the iShares MSCI Spain Fund (EWP) is up over 3%, and the Dow Jones Wilshire Portugal Index is up over 2%. The only one of those returns that doesn't seem to make sense is the Portuguese index; one would think the equities would rally more than just 2% with a substantial decline in yields like that.

Chasing Dogs and Buying Jewelry
We shopped over 12 hours yesterday to replace Anna's jewelry she lost on our recent trip. When I solo shop I go straight to what I intend to buy, make a quick decision, plunk my money on the counter, pick up the item and leave. With Anna it is detailed studying and when you find something, then you try to deal, or bargain for it. She does well with the Pakistanis and dark skin Gypsy looking people. Or they make her think she got a deal anyway.
And it drained all my energy.
And today we have to get her ready for her business trip she is taking Monday to Illinois.
Also yesterday, we picked up my son's dog Belle at the dog motel. When we picked her up the lady from the back said, "Are you sure you want her?" She said Belle thinks she is always competing to bark the loudest. When she brought her out, it reminded me of a bucking wild bronco. Boy, was she wild. She would stand up and wiggle, to try to wiggle out of her collar.
We took her outside and got almost to the car when she stood up and wiggled just right and got loose from the collar and leash. Belle has always been the type of dog that you could never trust to take off running. As far as I know she has got loose three other times and each time it has taken a number of people to catch her.
This time she broke loose we were at the intersection of two busy 4-lane Boulevards. My heart sank. I knew Belle was a gonner. Either by escaping or by getting ran over.
Before I went off chasing her I opened the back door of our car so it would be easier to put in the car if I didn't have to wrestle with her and try to open the door at the same time.... that is IF we caught her, which is a big IF.
I went around the side of the car and she went around the car the other way and jumped into the car and sat on the back seat.
No problem!

MOBILE, Alabama—Last week at The Crescent Theater, the audience got a dizzying dose of the Puckish charm and risqué artistry of "Tokarev" director Paco Cabezas.
On Friday, July 5, Crescent patrons were treated to a screening of Cabezas' totally insane 2010 film "Neon Flesh," followed by a q and a with the Spanish director who has been in Mobile for more than a month working with Nicolas Cage and co.
"Tokarev" is Cabezas' American directorial debut. At Friday's event, he made it abundantly clear that he couldn't be happier with the film's starring city.
"I found a great place, a great city. You people are so great," said the 35-year-old director. "You know sometimes when you're shooting a movie in Los Angeles or a city where they shoot a lot of movies, you feel that people are tired of movies; tired of filming blocking the traffic and exploding stuff. But here you're excited; as excited as I am. So that's beautiful."
The friendship Cabezas and Crescent owner Max Morey have developed in the past few weeks is also beautiful.
It was a chance meeting between the director and the theatre owner that resulted in last week's Cabezas experence at the Crescent.
Morey said that two weeks ago, Cabezas was walking past the Crescent and saw a poster for the Cuban film "Juan of the Dead" in the window. As it happens, Cabezas knows some of the folks who made the film.
The poster lured him into the theater.
Morey, who had no idea at that point that the young Spaniard was the director of "Tokarev," responded with Mobile's signature southern hospitality.
"We immediately took the poster off the wall, put it in a tube and handed it to him," Morey said.
When Cabezas, delighted by Morey's generosity, told the theater owner who he was, they worked out a plan to show "Neon Flesh" and have Cabezas interact with the audience.
"We wanted to honor him with this film as a great director," Morey said. "This is our way of saying thanks for your presence in Mobile."
Morey also said that Cabezas assured him he'd do his best to make sure the "Tokarev" world premiere takes place at the Crescent.
Cabezas has become a familiar downtown denizen. He seems to be very comfortable here.
Folks who have stumbled upon or purposely sought out a "Tokarev" filming location have witnessed Cabezas at work.
He exudes excitement and endless positive energy despite the horrid humidity and long hours of shooting. The whirling dervish of a director never slows down, and is totally focused on hist art as he sprints around the set, amicably manages his crew, and genially confers with Cage and the other actors.
Cabezas has also been spotted riding around Royal St. and other downtown areas on his stand up scooter.
The night "Neon Flesh," or "Carne de Neon" as it's known in Spanish, played at the Crescent, Cabezas had an easy, conversational rapport with the crowd.
Before the film started, Cabezas introduced himself and admitted he was kind of frightened to show "Neon Flesh." He said he thought he'd be tarred and feathered for showing the crowd such a deliriously messed-up movie.
He was mostly kidding, but there was a slight sense of apprehension.
"You may not like it, but I'm sure it's going to create a reaction," he said.
It turned out he had nothing to fear. The movie did elicit a fair share of gasps and shocked expressions, but there was no huge outcry or mass exodus from the theater, and viewers were eager to know more about the film.
With its sweet transvestite character Princess, foul language, graphic sex and violence, pop sensibility, pitch black humor and flashy, stylized look, "Neon Flesh" plays a bit like a more intense mix of the films of Pedro Almodovar, Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino.
Cabezas socks the viewer with some seriously disturbing stuff in his wild and raunchy ride through the seedy world of human trafficking and prostitution.
It's not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for kids.
"Neon Flesh" focuses on the ambitions of Ricky, played by Spanish film star and Cabezas' friend Mario Casas.
Ricky is a good-hearted, yet misguided young thug who slithers among the underbelly of society and its resident gangsters, murderers, prostitutes and psychopaths.
He tries to give his low and lonely life meaning by opening a bordello in honor of his own mother, a prostitute who abandoned him on the streets when he was twelve.
To Ricky, owning a whorehouse is something to be proud of. Cabezas weaves strong emotions and family relationships into the film and endows his potentially cartoonish characters with unexpected complexity. As a result, "Neon Flesh" is deeper than a shallow, sexy shoot-'em-up.
"I was thinking if you put the human element in the mix it makes it much more interesting," he said. "I love to see movies like a living work of art. (You should) do something with your art even if it's ugly. Life sometimes is ugly. I think you can find beauty in ugliness sometimes."
Cabezas also told the crowd at The Crescent that "Neon Flesh" was made for a mere $1.5 million, which is outrageously cheap for a feature film. He explained that it was a labor of love, and most of the actors are his friends from film school.
He said "Tokarev" won't be nearly as naughty and wickedly funny as "Neon Flesh." But he added that the two films do share some common themes, including sin, redemption, and the gray area between good and bad guys.
"I think life is made of gray areas. ('Neon Flesh') shows that people are capable of the best and the worst," Cabezas said. "Tokarev" is also very good with (exploring) that."
For instance, In "Tokarev," Nicolas Cage's character Paul Maguire is an upstanding citizen with a criminal past. He's drawn back into the underworld when his daughter gets kidnapped by Russian gangsters.
Cabezas also said that film-goers should dispose any pre-conceived notions that "Tokarev" is just another formulaic action flick.
"It's a very surprising movie. You don't know what to expect. Maybe you think 'I've seen that a thousand times.' Well, I'm going to tell you there are a lot of surprises along the way," he said. "I'm so tired of going to watch a movie when I know everything that's going to happen...You only live once. There is only one chance to tell stories, so you better tell something different."
If it weren't for a near-death experience nearly twenty years ago, Cabezas' vivid visions may have never made it on to the big screen.
When asked about how he got serious about making a career out of filmmaking, Cabezas shared a dramatic personal story.
When he was 17, Cabezas and some of his friends were in a major car crash in Cabezas' hometown of Seville, Spain.
Cabezas, a longtime admirer of Martin Scorsese, Sidney Lumet and Quentin Tarantino, said he had always wanted to make movies. But it took the near-tragedy to propel him from dreaming to doing.
"I remember the car coming from the left and hitting us. It was a slow-motion experience. I was thinking, 'this is it. I'm dead. I' m going to die. I'm 17. I'll never be able to make movies. I'm going to die a virgin,'" he told the audience. "And then the car flipped, I got out of the car, and I remember thinking, 'Dude I've gotta make movies. I need to make movies."
The day after the accident, Cabezas said he left Seville behind and took a train to Spain's bustling capital of Madrid. He started writing screenplays and supported himself by busking in the subway with his guitar and working random cruddy jobs.
"I kept trying until somebody liked my scripts," Cabezas said.
Cabezas has directed and/or written the screenplay for several European films including the 2007 horror flick, "The Appeared," the 2010 romantic comedy "Bon Appetit" and the 2008 crime thriller "Sexykiller, Moriras por Ella."
"Neon Flesh" is the last film he completed before taking on "Tokarev."
Cabezas' brazen body of work attracted the attention of the "Tokarev" producers.
"In Paco Cabezas we found a fresh young director with great visual style and remarkable storytelling ability," said "Tokarev" producer and Hannibal Classics CEO Richard Rionda Del Castro.
Now that he's officially a player in the American movie arena, Cabezas is getting accustomed to film-making on a grander scale.
"It's like a different field to play on," Cabezas said. "The toys are bigger."

But Enough About You
Christopher Buckley, like his terrific volume But Enough About You, contains multitudes. Tackling subjects ranging from "How to Teach Your Four-Year-Old to Ski" to "A Short History of the Bug Zapper," and "The Art of Sacking" to literary friendships with Joseph Heller and Christopher Hitchens, he is at once a humorous storyteller, astute cultural critic, adventurous traveler, and irreverent historian.
Reading these essays is the equivalent of being in the company of a tremendously witty and enlightening companion. Praised as "both deeply informed and deeply funny" by The Wall Street Journal, Buckley will have you laughing and reflecting in equal measure. This is a rare combination of big ideas and truly fun writing.

Nick picks up two animated series
'Fanboy' uses imagination; 'Umizoomi' relies on mathNickelodeon has picked up two animated series: a spinoff of Nicktoons Network's "Random! Cartoons" that features a high-profile voice cast and an interactive series created by the team behind Nick's "Blue's Clues."
The network has ordered 26 episodes of the CG-animated series "Fanboy and Chum Chum," a spinoff of the "Random!" collection of anthology shorts, and has greenlighted 20 episodes of the math-themed "Team Umizoomi," which combines 2-D and 3-D animation with live action.
"Fanboy" centers on a fearless, comic book-loving 10-year-old named Fanboy (David Hornsby) and his best friend and trusty sidekick, Chum Chum (Nika Futterman), whose wide-eyed acceptance of the bizarre is the perfect complement to his friend's hyper imagination. The voice cast includes Jamie Kennedy, Josh Duhamel and Estelle Harris. "Fanboy" is created by Eric Robles and is executive produced by Robles, Steve Tompkins and Fred Seibert. It premieres next year.
"Umizoomi," which features miniature action heroes helping real preschoolers solve everyday problems by using math and is set to a pop-rock soundtrack, is in production for a 2009 premiere on Nick Jr., the weekday programming block targeting preschoolers. The series is created by "Blue's Clues" veterans Jennifer Twomey, Soo Kim and Michael T. Smith.
Both series are among the first developed under Brown Johnson, who was upped to president of animation at Nickelodeon and MTV Networks Kids and Family Group in January. With these pickups, animation production at the Nick Animation Studio will increase by 50% in 2008, with a total of 225 half-hours expected to be delivered next year.

Beyond Colchester's Town Centre
The Borough of Colchester stretches well beyond the town centre, and a longer stay means that you are ideally based to explore the surrounding area.
With the town positioned on the Essex/Suffolk border you are also ideally positioned to explore both counties, with towns including Maldon, Clacton-on-Sea, Frinton-on-Sea, Harwich, Ipswich, Sudbury, Lavenham and Chelmsford all within a 45 minute drive of the town centre.
Discover the rural charm of the villages and small towns alongside the coast and countryside of East Anglia.
Waterfront & Coast
- Follow the River Colne out to sea by walking the Town to Sea Trail from Colchester Town Centre through the historic Hythe port, and on towards the village of Wivenhoe and the Colne estuary.
- Head for the coast on Mersea Island, from the wild natural beaches on the East of the Island, past holiday camps and painted beach huts as you head west until you reach the fisheries, sailing boats, and quaint town of West Mersea at the opposite tip of the Island.
- Take a breath of exhilarating sea air at a seaside resort by meandering out of Colchester into the Tendring peninsula: discover Brightlingsea, where the River Colne reaches the sea, and Frinton-on-Sea, wonderful for a Sunday stroll along the promenade to Walton-on-the-Naze, or nearby Clacton-on-Sea with its pier packed full of fun.
Countryside and Villages
Explore the beautiful Dedham Vale and Stour Valley and discover Constable Country, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty perfect for a walk through inspirational English countryside.
Discover the Chappel Viaduct, a victorian railway viaduct cutting across the peaceful Colne Valley.
Amble along tiny lanes beside patchwork fields that weave across the Essex/Suffolk border to discover East Bergholt, Kersey, Hadleigh, Lavenham and Sudbury.
Visit Manningtree, England's smallest town, and Maldon famous for its culinary sea salt and Thames Barges. Perhaps combine with a trip to Braintree Shopping Village for a few bargains en-route, and a stop off in Tiptree - home of the internationally renowned Wilkin & Sons jam.
Dedham Vale
The Dedham Vale has the official status of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is perfect for cycling and walking, and this is the proper way to really appreciate Constable's landscapes. Delight in discovering this quintessential English countryside at a more relaxed pace, the way that Constable himself did by taking The Painters' Trail, a cycle route taking in scenes and skies so favoured by some of Britain's leading artists.
To help keep the area special and the traffic noises at a low, public transport is the best way to get to Dedham. For an ideal journey, we recommend taking the train from Colchester to Manningtree, then walking across the beautiful landscape, and finally stopping off for a well-deserved break in Dedham town.
Historic Houses & Gardens
Surrounding Colchester you will discover elegant historic houses and impressive gardens and grounds with a wealth of stories to tell and beautiful sights to see.
Explore the beautiful Tudor gatehouse that is Layer Marney Tower, or Paycocke's House, an attractive timbered merchant's house, and wonder around the breathtaking grounds of Marks Hall Gardens.
Garden enthusiasts must visit the unmissbale Beth Chatto Gardens, and nearby Green Island Gardens.
Walks and Bike Rides
There are plenty of great walks and cycle routes around, whether you are looking for an afternoon stroll, or a cross-country bike-ride. The Colchester Visitor Information Centre in Hollytrees Museum has walking and cycling maps and can help you to plan routes and journeys through the area.
Make sure you make the most of the area and discover Colchester - beyond the town!

Not that long ago, the "Intel Inside" sticker was standard fare on just about all business systems. Low-end systems designed for home use were virtually the only ones to offer an alternative to Intel. These systems typically had the reputation of being inferior to Intel systems, whether or not they deserved that reputation.
However, the only constant is change, and nowhere is this adage truer than in the computer industry. AMD's release of the Athlon chip in August 1999 transformed AMD from another low-end supplier to a viable competitor in the high-end desktop and workstation business market. Now, virtually all PC suppliers, with the notable exception of Dell, offer systems based on AMD processors as well as systems based on the Intel Pentium line of processors. The Athlon is widely regarded as superior to Pentium chips of the same clock speed. The high performance of the Athlon has all but eliminated the stigma that non-Intel processors are inferior to their Intel counterparts. To read about one power user's decision to purchase an Athlon-based system, see John Ruley, Windows 2000 Pro, "Choosing a New Win2K Pro System," page 93.
Intel: Fast out of the Gate
Although the desktop market has been hotly contested since the release of the Athlon, Intel has maintained a total lock on the server side. Unlike the Athlon, which has been limited to single-CPU systems, Intel's Pentium line has long had the ability to support SMP systems. The standard Pentium III processor provides support for dual-CPU systems, and the Pentium III Xeon processor provides a much higher level of SMP support. In its position at the high end of the Intel processor line, the Xeon is expressly designed for server-side implementations. The current version of the Xeon chip runs at 700MHz and can utilize a full-speed 2MB Level 2 cache. The Xeon CPU uses the multiprocessor-enabled Intel 450NX PCIset or the Intel Profusion chipset and supports system bus speeds of 100MHz.
Over the past year, a Who's Who of vendors released 32-way systems using the Xeon processor; the list comprises Amdahl, Bull, Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, Hewlett-Packard (HP), IBM, NEC, Stratus, and Unisys. Some of these companies are also on the Windows 2000 Datacenter Server Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
AMD: Coming Up on the Outside
Intel won't be the only horse in the server-side race for long. AMD's forthcoming AMD-760 MP chipset will let system suppliers use Athlon processors in multiprocessor configurations. AMD expects this next generation of Athlon systems to come out of the gate running at 1.2GHz with more than 256KB of full-speed Level 2 cache. Along with the new AMD-760 MP chipset, the multiprocessor Athlon system will also support the EV6 bus originally used in the Digital Equipment Alpha systems and Double Data Rate (DDR) RAM, which will essentially provide a 100 percent increase over SDRAM processor-to-memory throughput. Initially, AMD will offer dual-processor systems for small to midsized servers. But AMD plans future versions of its 64-bit chip, code-named Sledgehammer, to push into the arena of 4-way and 8-way systems.
Full support of the x86 architecture in AMD's 32-bit Athlon and upcoming 64-bit Sledgehammer should make both CPUs viable options for Win2K Server and Win2K Advanced Server implementations as soon as the processors are available. The AMD architectures should theoretically support 32-way systems, but it's too early for AMD to announce plans for a 32-way implementation. So for now, Datacenter will remain Intel-only inside.
Time will tell whether AMD will gain the same respect in the server market as it has in the consumer desktop market. However, this competition ensures that the selection of fast servers will be better than ever. When two companies are fighting the battle of server-side computing, consumers are the real winners.

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Foundations for Graduate Students Program invites graduate students across all disciplines interested in SoTL to join us for our fifth discussion-based session, Asking SoTL Questions.
As in all sessions, we will take some time to become acquainted, to discuss/review what SoTL is, and to reflect upon the session's reading as foundational to SoTL research and practice.
In this session, we will engage with Pat Hutchings's "Introduction" to Opening Lines: Approaches to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (2000), in which she produces both a taxonomy of the kinds of questions that SoTL tends to ask and observes common features in SoTL work. Hutchings describes SoTL as an inclusive, energetic, and intellectual community, and Opening Lines as intentionally capturing SoTL work in early stages - as ours, at present, might be. We can take up her description as a catalyst for our own reflections about the kinds of questions the SoTL we might do or are doing asks and about the ground that is common among us.
Session five's reading is:
Pat Hutchings's "Introduction: Approaching the scholarship of teaching and learning" in Hutchings, P. (Ed.) (2000). Opening Lines: Approaches to the scholarship of teaching and learning. Princeton, NJ: Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning.
This workshop can be used toward the 2017-2018 SoTL Foundations Program for Graduate Students.

By Jerry Seper - The Washington Times
2:50 p.m., Wednesday, November 17, 2010
"America's toughest sheriff," Phoenix's Joe Arpaio, is creating a new armed "Immigration Posse" to combat illegal immigration, and Hollywood actors Steven Seagal and Lou Ferrigno, along with Dick Tracy and Wyatt Earp, have signed up.
Fighting Justice Department allegations that his office discriminated against illegals during arrests, Sheriff Arpaio says the new civilian posse of more than 50 members gives citizens a chance to fight the illegal immigration problem that inundates their border state.
"Law enforcement budgets are being cut and agencies are losing personnel and yet the battle to stop illegal immigration must continue," said the sheriff, who heads the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. "Arizona is the busiest port of entry for people being smuggled in from Mexico, Latin and South America. So asking for the public´s help in this endeavor makes sense, especially given the success the posses have experienced over the years."
Fifty-six new Immigration Posse members from various professions were sworn in by the sheriff on Wednesday as "illegal immigration fighters."
Mr. Seagal, who starred in several movies, is a sworn deputy in New Orleans. Mr. Ferrigno, who played the "Incredible Hulk," works as a reserve deputy with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. Another new civilian volunteer is Peter Lupus, who formerly starred on "Mission Impossible." "These guys are busy with their acting careers so I don't expect them to be here on duty very often," Sheriff Arpaio said." But they can be instrumental in heightening public awareness of the immigration issue and encouraging others to join the posse's effort to help reduce the flow of illegal immigrants into our communities."
The sheriff also said Dick Tracy, a retired Chicago police official who now lives in Arizona, also has joined the posse, along with Wyatt Earp, a Phoenix resident whose uncle was the famous lawman of the same name.
The Justice Department lawsuit, filed in September in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, was the latest chapter in a bitter feud between Justice and Sheriff Arpaio, who is accused of failing to turn over documents sought since March 2009 that federal prosecutors say comply with its probe of alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and English-only policies in his jails that discriminate against those with limited English skills.
The sheriff has described the lawsuit as "harassment," saying thousands of pages of documents have already been turned over by his office to federal prosecutors. He said the lawsuit made it "abundantly clear that Arizona, including this sheriff, is Washington's new whipping boy."
Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez, who heads the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, has said the sheriff's office declined repeated requests to turn over documents or meet with investigators. He called the refusal "unprecedented," adding that it was "unfortunate" that Justice was "forced to resort to litigation to gain access to public documents and facilities."
There has been a continuing battle between Arizona officials and the federal government over the issue of illegal immigration.
The Justice Department also has filed a suit challenging a law passed in Arizona giving state and local police the right to arrest anyone reasonably suspected of being an illegal immigrant, claiming the legislation is pre-empted by federal law.
The Justice Department, under both Republican and Democratic administrations, has maintained that immigration laws are a federal responsibility. In its investigation, the department has focused on allegations that Sheriff Arpaio and his deputies engaged in "discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures," along with allegations that his jail discriminated against Hispanic inmates.
The inquiry also has targeted allegations that bilingual jail guards were required to speak to inmates only in English. Last year, the federal government stripped Sheriff Arpaio of his special power to enforce federal immigration law, although he continued to conduct law enforcement sweeps through the enforcement of state immigration laws.
Since the time Sheriff Arpaio took office in 1993, he has built up the volunteer posse to nearly 3,000 members, with 59 different posses operating throughout Maricopa County. Each year, he said the volunteer posses work thousands of hours and also donate vehicles, planes, helicopters to the sheriff's office as well as a variety of professional services, saving tax payers millions of dollars annually.
"People from all walks of life have contacted my office saying they want to help me in this fight in some way. This is how they can do that by being members of a volunteer posse with the specific aim of fighting illegal immigration and lending their particular expertise to the fight," the sheriff said.
Of the 56 new Immigration Posse members, 33 are already qualified to carry weapons. They will work with deputies in searching for vehicles carrying illegal immigrants and the safe houses where the people are housed before being sent out of state. They also will work crowd control during demonstrations against the sheriff's immigration policies. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office has investigated, arrested or detained more than 42,000 illegal immigrants during the past three years.
"My ultimate goal with the creation of this newest posse is to catch and jail as many illegal immigrants coming into this county and to apprehend those who are illegally living and working here already," Sheriff Arpaio said.
"Let's face it, my deputies are outnumbered so the more volunteers we can get trained and out on the streets to fight illegal immigration, the better off we will be to fight it."

Hotel Chic
My husband and I went on a trip to Atlanta recently - one of our favourite cities!
We stayed at the W Atlanta Buckhead and for me what an inspiring place to stay!
It's a very cool hotel with a hip vibe but absolutely everyone is welcome. The staff is warm and so friendly and the decor is comfortable and chic.
Lots of texture, seating options, fabulous art and great display arrangements, colour and pattern and the lighting is a showstopper. The rooms were so comfortable and well designed.
I've stayed at a few of the trendier hotel in North America and some have a tendency to feel cool and unfriendly.
I found the rooms were so well layed out, lots of space for everything without feeling cramped or cluttered
You really feel like you are staying in a cool condo with great amenities and people.
I loved how the designer, Thom Filicia, used colour, pattern, different seating options and antler light fixtures and blended it all together to get a this hip and warm look and feel.
This stay has inspired me for my next staging jobs and home styling jobs. And for anyone looking to find a way to re-purpose some older items and give them a current twist, I'm sure these images will inspire you!
We are headed back to Atlanta again this August with the kids and we will be returning to the W Atlanta Buckhead - can't wait!

I arranged as part of a stag party a fishing trip for 9 guys. We were picked up on time from our hotel and arrived promptly to a clean boat and were greeted by the skipper and fishing partner. They were absolute legends. The fishing was great, everyone caught something, the biggest being a c.150lb stingray! The hospitality on board was great and we appreciated the sandwich and beers. We took our own beer too.
This trip was the highlight of the whole weekend for us and we will forever talk about it. I understand there are other fishing charters available in Gran Canaria, but I would highly recommend this one. We did see another boat while we were fishing, they were only 50m away but were not catching, whereas we were pulling them in by the minute.
Thank you to Hans for the awesome organisation and communication prior to our trip, and to the crew on board for the excellent service. We will be back to fish for the Marlin one day!

I believe in life-long friends coming out of chance encounters. I had never had any intentions of spending time in Frankfurt, Germany. The entire city seems devoted to big business, and an impoverished student cannot help but feel out of place there. However, when my traveling companion's mother was struck by a sudden illness, I had no choice but to accompany her as she traversed hundreds of miles of European countryside with the hopes that she could get an early flight back to the US. Needless to say, that trip alone is rife with humorous anecdotes and poignant life lessons, but it was not until I found myself alone in a strange city that my Weltanschauung would be changed forever.
There is something about being in Europe that engenders a powerful desire to fill one's lungs with nicotine. This was, of course, at a time before despotic smoking laws became all the rage in America and Europe, so I spent my first morning as I had spent so many others—smoking in the sunroom of my youth hostel. As I sat, I noticed I was in the company of a lone individual, who was smoking a sweet smelling cigarillo. His hair was thick and dark, but his hands, which were tracing a yin-yang symbol that had been carved into the table, betrayed a man well into his autumn years. Out of courtesy, I preserved the silence of the room, knowing that I would not want my period of morning contemplation to be derailed by a talkative twenty something. However, it was not long before he began explaining to me the significance of the symbol that had so captivated him. I told him that I had, in fact, studied the iconography of this particular marking in one of the religion courses I had taken just that year, and it was hard to ignore the smile that crept across his face. After spending almost an hour talking about Hinduism and Buddhism I invited my new friend to join me in exploring downtown Frankfurt. However, he balked at the idea, telling me that he was content to remain in the hostel and watch the people passing by on the street.
When I returned several hours later, he had moved downstairs into the lobby, and when we made eye contact he greeted me with an ear-to-ear grin and soon rekindled our conversation. He told me then that he was in Frankfurt on a layover and that he would be traveling on to India, where he intended to give away all his earthly possessions before seeking out his Guru. Over the next twenty-four hours we would converse at length about our respective fears about suffering, death and the after-life, but it was not until we accompanied one another to the airport that he said something that would change my life. As we embraced one another to say goodbye, he pulled back and fixed me in his gaze. "I will see you again soon," he said to me, before smothering me in one final hug.
Sergio was going to India to live out the remaining years of his life. He had no email, no phone number, no address. There was little chance, if any, that our paths would ever cross again. Why, then, would he make a statement that was almost certain to be proven false? There are some friends that you carry with you for the rest of your life, despite having only known them for a short time. Buried in a box somewhere in my attic there are two pictures of Sergio, but I never take them out; I don't need to. At any given moment, I can recall his face right down to the minutest details. But, more than that, I remember the profound calmness that seemed to emanate from him. It is during these times that the fears and anxieties of my daily life seem to melt away. It is during these times that I cannot help but think, "Perhaps Sergio was right."

Determining Spatial and Temporal Variations of Surface Particulate Organic Carbon (POC) using in situ Measurements and Remote Sensing Data in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico during El
and La
Son, Young-Baek ; Gardner, Wilford D. ;
The Sea, volume 15, issue 2, 2010, Pages 51~61
Surface particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration was measured in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico on 9 cruises from November 1997 to August 2000 to investigate the seasonal and spatial variability related to synchronous remote sensing data (Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS), sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface height anomaly (SSHA), and sea surface wind (SSW)) and recorded river discharge data. Surface POC concentrations have higher values (>100
) on the inner shelf and near the Mississippi Delta, and decrease across the shelf and slope. The inter-annual variations of surface POC concentrations are relatively higher during 1997 and 1998 (El Nino) than during 1999 and 2000 (La Nina) in the study area. This phenomenon is directly related to the output of Mississippi River and other major rivers, which associated with global climate change such as ENSO events. Although highest river runoff into the northern Gulf of Mexico Coast occurs in early spring and lowest flow in late summer and fall, wide-range POC plumes are observed during the summer cruises and lower concentrations and narrow dispersion of POC during the spring and fall cruises. During the summer seasons, the river discharge remarkably decreases compared to the spring, but increasing temperature causes strong stratification of the water column and increasing buoyancy in near-surface waters. Low-density plumes containing higher POC concentrations extend out over the shelf and slope with spatial patterns and controlled by the Loop Current and eddies, which dominate offshore circulation. Although river discharge is normal or abnormal during the spring and fall seasons, increasing wind stress and decreasing temperature cause vertical mixing, with higher surface POC concentrations confined to the inner shelf.
Hindcasting Analysis of Swells Occurred in the East Coast in February 2008
Kim, Tae-Rim ; Lee, Kang-Ho ;
The Sea, volume 15, issue 2, 2010, Pages 62~67
Swells occurred on the coast of the East Sea on February 24, 2008 caused a loss of three lives and also damaged several west coasts of Japan. The recent increase of swell intensity with number of accidents demands more accurate forecasting of swells in terms of time and location. The swells occurred in February 2008 are hindcasted using SWAN model to examine the accuracy of the model for future forecasting. The model results are compared with ReWW3 data as well as measurement wave data and specially, wave spectrum is analysed by comparing with observed spectrum at two wave stations located in the east coast of Korea. The SWAN model shows similar results with observation data in terms of significant wave heights and swell arrival time but the shapes of wave spectrum are different between model and in-situ measurement data. For further improvement of swell forecasting, more comparison and analysis with observed wave spectrum is necessary and wave directional spectrum data are required to study on the characteristics of swells in the East Sea.
The Macrozoobenthic Community at the Expected Sand Excavation Area in the Southern Continental Shelf of Korea
Seo, Jin-Young ; Choi, Jin-Woo ;
The Sea, volume 15, issue 2, 2010, Pages 68~71
This study was performed in order to obtain basic data of macrobenthic community in continental shelf exclusive economic zone (EEZ), before sand excavation. The species number of macrozoobenthos was 157, mean density was 2,529 ind./
and mean biomass was 231.8
in November, 2000. The species number of macrozoobenthos was 179, mean density was 3,773 ind./
and mean biomass was 391.2
in February, 2001. Dominant species were Ampelisca sp. and Photis sp. in amphipods, Ophiactis branchygenys in ophiuroids and Nothria sp. and Eunice sp. in polychaetes. In the proportion of feeding types of macrobenthos, surface deposit feeders were most dominant feeding group, and followed by carnivores, subsurface deposit feeders, and filter feeders. Species diversity index (H') was high ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 at most sites.
Seasonal Variation in Species Composition of Estuarine Fauna Collected by a Stow Net in the Han River Estuary on the mid-western coast of Korea
Hwang, Sun-Do ; Rhow, Jin-Goo ;
The Sea, volume 15, issue 2, 2010, Pages 72~85
Seasonal variation in species composition of estuarine fauna in the Han River estuary was determined using monthly samples collected near Ganghwa Island by a bag net from February to December 2009. Total number of species was 86: 54 species of fishes, 16 species of shrimps of crustacean, 12 species of other crustacean such as craps and so on, 3 species of cephalopods and 1 species of jellyfish. Of a total of 86 species, Palaeman carinicauda (32.6%), Acetes japonicus (15.9%), Palaemon gravieri (9.9%), Portunus trituberculatus (7.7%) and Acetes chinensis (6.9%) were predominated in abundance. These 5 crustacean accounted for 73% of total. Abundance, biomass and diversity of Han River estuarine fauna were high in spring and autumn, indicating typical pattern of temperate area. Out of dominant species, the brackish residence species such as Coilia nasus, Chelon haematocheilus, Mugil cephalus, Synechogobius hasta, Lophiogobius ocellicauda, Tridentiger barbatus, Palaeman carinicauda, Palaemon gravieri were collected almost year-round and predominated in abundance. Coastal migratory fauna species such as Coilia mystus, Thryssa hamiltonii, Thryssa adelae, Sardinella zunasi, Engraulis japonicus, Portunus trituberculatus, Acetes japonicus, Collichthys lucidus, Pampus argenteus were most plentiful from spring through autumn. Their adult coastal migratory entered the estuary in spring and large numbers of their juveniles were grew in summer and autumn until moving out to deeper waters for over-wintering, indicating they use estuary as nursing ground. Diadromous fish such as Anguila japonica adults were collected in autumn during their downstream migration. Brackish fauna and crustacean, especially shrimps were predominant, and few contaminant indicator species collected in the Han River estuary, indicating this area maintains the characteristics of natural estuary ecosystem.
Estimates of Basin-Specific Oxygen Utilization Rates (OURs) in the East Sea (Sea of Japan)
Kim, Il-Nam ; Min, Dong-Ha ; Lee, Tong-Sup ;
The Sea, volume 15, issue 2, 2010, Pages 86~96
The oxygen utilization rate (OUR) is one of the crucial parameters for ocean carbon cycling and climate models. However, parameterization of OUR in the East Sea (Sea of Japan) is yet to be established. We estimated the basin-specific OURs in the East Sea and fitted them with exponential functions with depth by using pCFC- 12 age and apparent oxygen utilization (AOU) measured in summer 1999. The estimated OURs are higher in the upper water column and decrease with depth, in general. The vertical distributions of the estimated OURs in the Western and Eastern Japan Basins (WJB & EJB) are very similar. The OURs in the Ulleung Basin (UB) varied greatly depending on whether the surface layer (0~200 m) data are included in the OUR estimate or not. Apparently, weaker oxygen consumption occurs in the deep layer of Yamato Basin (YB). The ranges of the OURs between 200 m and 2000 m at WJB, EJB, UB, and YB are 8.15~0.83, 8.11~0.68, 5.29~0.73, and 7.31~0.06
, respectively. Consideration of the wintertime surface water oxygen disequilibrium condition in estimating the OUR will be necessary in the future study.

|Home > Characterization and 3D TCAD simulation of NOR-type flash non-volatile memories with emphasis on corner effects
The impact of 3D device architecture in aggressively scaled embedded non-volatile memories has been investigated by means of experiments and 3D TCAD simulations. A complete 3D calibration methodology covering DC and transient operating regimes has been introduced and validated against measurements for different technological options. This approach has been employed to determine the key features for device optimization. In particular, shallow trench isolation corners around the active area have been identified as critical regions of the memory cell for program and erase operations, as well as for gate coupling ratio optimization. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Zoomorphic mount
Zoomorphic mount
What do we know?
The zoomorphic mount is a gold plate.
It is designed in the form of two style II eagles, facing each other and holding a fish vertically between them.
The Staffordshire Hoard plaque was quite badly damaged when it was removed. One one bird was dramatically twisted away, but you can still see traces of its talons on the body of the fish.
BMAG Accession number : 2010.0138K0652
PMAG Accession number: 2010.LH.10.K0652
What might it have been used for?
The exact use for the zoomorphic mount is not yet known, however it is likely that it was used as decoration on a shield.
This gold plaque shows two eagles holding a fish between them. There was a plaque with one very similar eagle on the front of the shield found in the Sutton Hoo ship burial, which we think was where King Raedwald of East Anglia was buried.

We are looking at building a pool 200mt back from the beach, what issues will we have with seaspray, sand etc..... how hard will it be to maintain
re sea side.
i service a bunch of pools rite on the beach and i have no problem with them at all. most of them are salt generated systems, and they really stay very nice due to the moisture and everything being damp. they really never have to much sand in them. over all it is pretty nice.
