NEW YORK, May 17 (UPI) -- Michael Emerson admits an appealing aspect of his American TV drama "Person of Interest" is the good guy he plays doesn't get beaten up like his treacherous "Lost" character did.
In CBS' "Person of Interest," Emerson plays Harold Finch, a mysterious billionaire computer genius, who creates a machine that spits out the Social Security numbers of people who will be involved in future crimes. Together with John Reese, an ex-CIA agent played by Jim Caviezel, Finch tries to prevent the offenses from occurring.
The show is produced by "Memento" scribe Jonathan Nolan and J.J. Abrams, creator of Emerson's previous series, "Lost," which aired on ABC. For that program, the actor played Ben Linus, the witty, manipulative leader of residents living on a supernatural island, from 2006 to 2010. Linus' constant game-playing, side-switching and old-fashioned lying made him a lot of enemies, several of whom pummeled him for his actions over the course of five seasons.
Asked how lucky he feels to be part of two hit shows in a row, Emerson told United Press International in a recent phone interview: "It seems unusually fortunate. I don't know what to chalk it up to. It's not me. I can't even say I've chosen well. The parts kind of choose me. But it is a happy circumstance."
The 57-year-old Iowa native, who is also known for his recurring role of serial killer William Hinks on "The Practice," said he loves the premise of "Person of Interest."
"I gravitate to smart material," he explained. "I gravitate to the stuff that interests me when I read it and I'm a little more interested in dark, urban, technology subjects than I would have even thought I was. I liked the New York setting and I knew it came from Jonathan Nolan and I knew his track record and I knew he liked complicated puzzles and I appreciate that stuff. And, maybe without me realizing it, 'Lost' gave me a taste for puzzles and mystery. Anyway, I responded well to the pilot script. It had a good pedigree. If J.J. Abrams is excited about a thing, it's usually worth getting excited about."
So, did he worry about finding another satisfying project after "Lost" ended since the celebrated show set the bar for quality so high?
"I worried about that for a while and I was careful about what I was reading," the two-time Emmy Award winner confessed. "At some point I had to let go of it, too. I figured there might never be a role quite like that one and then to hold out for that, I'm not sure I'd even know it when it crept up on me again. So, I tried to get out of that place and just follow good writing. That seemed to work out," Emerson said.
The actor said "Interest" is a harder gig than "Lost" because he has so much more screen time as a lead than he did as part of an ensemble.
Teased about how he also gets beaten less on "Interest" than he did in "Lost," Emerson replied, "That's true and that was one of the pluses.
"Actually, that was a thing I was looking for -- less violence in my performance," he laughed, adding he was relieved when he heard Finch would be someone who suffered from old neck, back and leg injuries.
He said he remembered thinking: "Oh, thank God. Here's a guy who can't do that much fighting."
The series wraps up its first season Thursday night and has been renewed for a second run of episodes to air in 2012-13.
Emerson lives in New York with his wife, "True Blood" actress Carrie Preston.

I remember May 23rd, 2010, late evening, the waning moments of the six-year sojourn of what was the finale episode of ABC's Lost series flickering away. Christian Sheppard gathered the castaways in the church, their special place to find each other, and guided them into the light right before a tearful and joyous reunion of the castaways that mattered most to Jack. Damn it all to Hell, they were all in Purgatory. My Lost theory of Virtual reality with a dash of alien intervention was shattered. Or was it?
Just what was the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory…. For six years it was…..
Although it appeared the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 were on a tropical island, they were being deceived. There was no island. The survivors were in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways were interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments were performed on them. Who was running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.
That evening I fired off my Lost Series Finale Theory, begrudgingly accepting that my theory was not only flawed, but down right incorrect. Until some months later when a new wrinkle of my Lost theory would come to light.
You see, although I recorded the series finale, I had put off viewing it until just last night. (Anger can do that sometimes) And there it was, the Holy Grail, my missing link, looking me square in the face. After watching the entire show from beginning to end from my DVR, the very last scene before the screen went dark made me ask this question.
Why did ABC Lost show the wreckage of flight 815 during the credits? With no survivors! Nor a single shred of evidence that there ever were any survivors. Just wreckage. No foot prints. No makeshift huts. No clothing. No tools. No bodies. No people. Nothing. (The network claims that these scenes were placed to decompress the audience from such an emotional roller coaster that was the finale before the local news came on.) (However, the Grassy Knoll Institute has an alternate explanation)
That is when it occurred to me that my virtual reality theory was correct after all. Wait for it readers... Perhaps these fleeting images signified that no one survived the plane crash and the entire series never happened. Or... The reason there are no bodies or any sign of survivors is because the castaways are still in the VR chamber.
You see, in reality, the castaways were never on the island, never got on flight 815, never crashed. Instead, they were secretly ushered into a VR lab where unspeakable experiments were performed on them. The castaways were put through the paces time and time again until a favorable outcome was achieved. Perhaps Jack and his crew finally got it right this time, Jack giving in to the island mystique, creating the end game, the church scene.
Remember the season five finale, when Jacob and the Man in black were talking on the beach. It was the VR experiment they were discussing. How no matter what they did, no matter what obstacles placed in the castaways path, the result was always the same. They were both waiting for a unique outcome, the church scene.
MIB: You're still trying to prove me wrong.
Jacob: You are wrong!
MIB: They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it's just progress.
If you can remember, I stated that the VR experiment would reset itself after an unfavorable outcome. Hence, Miles, Ben, and Desmond, remembered fragments of past scenario's giving them the ability to predict the future. This also easily explains the time travel scenario of the castaways on the island living in the 50's, 70's, and present time. These were merely new variables and parameters of the experiment.
In essence my dear readers, the Lost castaways did not crash, did not get on the plane, did not die, nor went to heaven. Instead, they were reset to begin yet another battery of tests. Perhaps we will get lucky enough to see these new tests come to light, in say, a 2011-2012 Lost movie or mini series expanding on what happened right after the church scene in the finale.
I feel better now....

A volunteer firefighter was arrested last month on an embezzlement charge, according to newly released information from the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Joshua Phillip Cauthen, 21, 994 Suttle Road, was arrested Oct. 12 on the charge of embezzlement of public funds less than $10,000, according to a sheriff's office press release.
Final election numbers on Lancaster County's ballot measure regarding Sunday alcohol sales at local restaurants show Indian Land voters played a major role in the measure's approval.
According to final vote tallies, Lancaster County residents overall approved the measure by a 16-percent margin with 18,526 votes for the proposal and 13,412 against.
Most Election Days, the three phones in the Lancaster County Voter Registration Office ring non-stop.
Those phones did ring on Tuesday, Nov. 6, but the volume of calls election workers were fielding in the county administration building wasn't as bad as usual.
But that didn't mean nobody was answering them. Those phones were still ringing, just not in that office.
The calls were rerouted to a temporary call center set up in the Lancaster County Emergency Management Office on White Street.
Steve Harper was fast asleep early Wednesday morning when he awoke to a good-news phone call – he had won the Lancaster County Council District 5 seat.
It was about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 7, when a supporter let Harper, a Republican, know he had clinched the council seat by 288 votes, defeating Democratic incumbent Kathy Sistare.
"It was a relief," Harper said Wednesday afternoon.
Mandy Powers Norrell sees her victory Tuesday, Nov. 6, as part of a trend of more women immersing themselves in politics.
With her win over Joseph Coy and Ryan Payne, Norrell will become the first woman ever to hold the S.C. House District 44 seat.
The seat, which covers the lower portion of Lancaster County, will soon be vacated by retiring state Rep. Jimmy Neal of Kershaw.
One of Lancaster City Council's most outspoken members has been unseated.
Jackie Harris, seeking elected office for the first time, defeated Councilwoman Linda Blackmon-Brace in Tuesday's District 3 race.
Harris won 312 of the 562 votes cast, or 55 percent. Blackmon-Brace collected 250 votes.
Among the five voting precincts, the results were as follows:
– Lancaster East: Harris – 115 votes, Blackmon-Brace – 41 votes
Janice C. Dabney has been named chief executive officer for Springs Memorial Hospital. Dabney, who has been an employee of the hospital since 1966 and served as assistant chief executive officer since 1983, brings experience and passion to her new role, hospital officials say.
She has served as interim CEO at several health-care facilities, including serving several stints as interim CEO of Springs Memorial Hospital.
Tamara Green Garris is looking forward to serving another four years as the District 4 representative on Lancaster City Council.
Garris defeated challenger Jean Cureton in Tuesday's election, garnering 70 percent of the 395 votes cast.
In the Lancaster East precinct, Garris collected 108 votes compared to 27 for Cureton. In Lancaster West, Garris had 66 votes and Cureton had 34.
Among the absentee votes, Garris had 104 and Cureton had 56.
A Walmart employee received a shock Monday, Nov. 5, when a man pulled out a knife after he was confronted for shoplifting.
Police were called to Walmart, 805 S.C. 9 Bypass, at 3:37 p.m. about a report of a shoplifting incident earlier that day involving a weapon, according to a Lancaster Police Department incident report.
An employee told officers that at about 11 a.m., a shift manager called him for help with a older man suspected of stealing steaks from the meat department.
A police investigation continues into two Lancaster men who were injured during a shooting at a home late Saturday night, Nov. 3.
Officers found the two men after they responded at 9:54 p.m. to reports of shots fired in the 500 block of Miller Street, according to a Lancaster Police Department press release.
When they arrived, officers saw several people carrying an apparent gunshot victim to a vehicle parked in a nearby driveway. The 18-year-old man had injuries to his back, the release said.

Sevilla Cocktail (No. 2)
1/2 teaspoonful Powdered Sugar. (1/2 teaspoon caster sugar)
1 Egg (1 Large Egg)
1/2 Port Wine. (1 1/2 oz Warre's Warrio Port)
1/2 Bacardi Rum. (1 1/2 oz Havana Club Anejo Blanco)
Stir (I shook) well and strain into cocktail glass.
Stir this cocktail? Nearly every other drink in the book they direct you to shake, but this one has a whole egg and they tell you to stir? Ridiculous!
Didn't particularly care for this drink, despite it being merely spitting difference from the thoroughly enjoyable Coffee Cocktail. Not sure what is up with that. I think maybe a darker rum might make it more enjoyable.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Hello there!
I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween, with enough candy left over to get you through the dreaded and brutal time change...
Henry's costume was easy this year: he wanted to be a fireman, and we had the perfect costume ready to go in the dress-up basket. It was made by my mom a few years ago for my niece and it is awesome. We even had rain boots to match the jacket and helmet.
On the other hand, I had quite the Halloween sewing challenge this year, with Ben wanting to be a King Cobra snake. How do you make a person, with legs, look like a snake? I went into it a bit haphazardly, but I'm so happy with how his costume turned out, despite the legs!
Here are the boys on the way to school on Halloween morning:
I touched on inspiration for the costume in my previous Halloween post, and showed the "sketch" that Ben made me with his vision. Here are a few photos of the progress and construction, including my own sketch.
The main part of the costume is a simple fitted "poncho", or shell. There is Velcro on one of the shoulders, so Ben could take it on and off. The hood is attached to this shell. The hood is lined with a medium weight interfacing so it "flares" out on the sides like a proper Cobra head.
It took most of my Sunday to complete the shell with hood. At that point, I still had to make, stuff and attach the tail which took a few tries to get right (about an hour altogether). The last part of the construction was to tinker with both the hood and the tail to fit them properly on Ben's body. There was some hand-sewing involved, but minimal.
All in all, it was pretty much a one-day project. Not too bad! It is by far the best quality costume I've ever made. And it was quite the learning experience to sew with pleather (gold and light snake-skin) and stretchy denim (black snake-skin). I used 100% wool felt for the fangs and tongue, which made them very durable and unlikely to rip or tear.
And here's some Halloween cuteness, just because:
How was your Halloween? Did you have some costume-making successes? I'd love hear all about it. Please share links if you have them.

The Human Identity Shift: When Personal Authenticity becomes the Keystone for Social Accountability
This next-gen of social, more-evolutionary (psycho-social) in nature (pun to be seen later) will be based on new domain of individual data and metrics. These measures will also be visualized in 4D (not simply circles, but toroids over time which = 4D personal topologies) and will be dynamic and fluid values visualized and yet, despite their fluidity they will having directionality in regards to the individual and certain innate developmental limits, i.e. our natural personal and unique dispositions and gifts will, as they always have, define our personal developmental limits. Our natural "limits" are seen here in non-traditional definition. *
As we learn and evolve our gifts we develop our unique and genuine form of personal mastery and from this a life-purpose based on our natural gifts and dispositions. Our mastery develops, through a very full life time, into a personal "art-form."
Anyone who has developed true mastery will be seen as an artist in their work whether they're an educator, design engineer, programmer, plumber, executive, electrician, chef, or lawyer, yes, lawyers can achieve a level or artistry in their life work too. In fact my own brother has achieved such a level of Mastery, as an attorney, but would never say this out loud. At this time, and predominantly, this is not how we talk (out loud) about gift-evolved personal mastery in most professional fields of work, but I see a time coming when we will.
And this will be difficult time for many of us whose life to date has been lived founded upon powerful yetextrinsic models and social motivators;, i.e. those of us that have been living symbolic lives, and even become highly successful both monetarily and professionally in the process. Monetary success is NOT a valid metric for human accountability, as many of us already know, nor is professional stature necessarily a metric for personal authenticity.
The best news? This will happen so much the sooner and evolve into a positive common and learned awareness within the lives of our children.
* I have written extensively on this and other naturally correlated movements beginning in 1986. Some of this writing can be found here in this Ecology-of-Mind blog, as well as in: http://letoonz.wordpress.com and http://GETTheVision.wordpress.com. Much of it remains held on ancient 5″ floppies and 8″ bernoulli drives 😦 .

In addition to paying attention to what we eat to help us lose weight, it's important to focus on how much we eat. Today, most portion sizes considered normal actually contain much more food than you need.
"Now I am more conscious about portions when I'm eating. I love pizza just like anybody else, but you can't down a whole pizza, and you can't do it on a daily basis."
Look at this plate. It might be considered a normal meal at home or in a restaurant. However, it has very large portions of meat and potato with very little vegetables.
A healthier meal would contain smaller portions of the high calorie meat and potatoes. For meat, the serving size is about the size and thickness of a deck of playing cards. If this meat portion seems small compared to your normal portion, cutting back a bit at a time will help.
The serving size of a potato is about the size of a computer mouse. In addition, add more nutrient rich low calorie vegetables to balance out this meal.
One of the best tools you can use when practicing portion control is the nutrition facts label that's on almost all packaged foods. It has what a serving size is, and how many calories are in that serving.
To do your own detective work for fresh foods, a scale, measuring cups and spoons, and a calorie-counting book are all you need.
Be mindful of how much you're eating. Distractions can lead to you eat more than you intend to, and often lead to overeating.
Turn off the TV. Enjoy a family dinner together or quiet time to yourself. This will help you enjoy the meal. Eat slowly, and when you are no longer hungry, stop. You might be surprised at how little food it takes to satisfy your hunger.
"Everybody likes to use food for celebration and occasionally for a reward, and there is nothing wrong with that. It's when it's habitual or eating mindlessly, and really we let other people feed us, without any idea of what's a good portion for us."
Now you don't have to say goodbye to everything you love. Just don't eat as big a piece or as many servings of that food. If you've been served a meal that is larger than one portion, split it with a friend, or take half of it home for later.
Managing portion size is an important part of long-term, permanent weight loss success.

The Smith family all converged on Brian and Susan's house this year in celebration of Thanksgiving Day. The resulting crowd overflowed the house with all the warmth, noise, boisterousness, and love of a large family brought together for the holidays. Amongst the siblings, aunts, uncles, parents, and even grandparents of the Smith family ran a gaggle of young cousins, second cousins, nieces, nephews, sons, daughters, and grandchildren. Brian worried that their small home would never recover from the flock of family crowded under its roof; Susan worried she'd never have enough food to feed everyone. But by day's end, the family was well-fed with leftovers a-plenty, the house was still in one piece, no disasters had befallen anyone or anything, and everyone was happy and content. After dinner, the youngest children were tucked into bed and the rest of the family retired to the living room, where family tradition was to split the family into two teams and play games for the rest of the evening. These games were the highlight of the family gatherings for many of them, and the results of the games were referred to many times during the following year. This year, Susan and Brian ended up on opposite teams, and the teams were closely matched all evening. The game of choice this year was trivia and each side had a number of trivial experts in a variety of subjects. Determine the name of each trivia expert member on Susan's team (one was Sara), what each person's relationship to Susan was (one was her cousin), and what trivia topic each was person's specialty.
1. George was not the science expert. The geography expert was Susan's brother, who was a pilot for a large airliner. Susan's niece was not a history buff.
2. Susan's aunt was an English professor and thus excelled at the literature questions.
3. Henry, who was not a history buff, was Susan's son.
4. Susan's grandfather wasn't named George.
5. Richard was Susan's brother. Helen's field of expertise started with an "S".
6. The sports fanatic was one of the female family members. Elliot was the music expert.

Category: Dear Frankie News Posted by: admin Gerard Butler, tipped by some to be the new James Bond, is to star in Natural History, which starts filming in the city later this month.
Hollywood comes to Glasgow as Gerard brings film home
Article Date: March 6, 2003 | Publication: Evening Times (Glasgow) | Author: Exclusive By Andy Dougan Showbiz Editor
The 34-year-old actor will star with Emily Mortimer and fellow Glasgow actor Sharon Small in the family drama. It also marks a return to the city for Mortimer, who appeared in 51st State and Scream 3.
She was here last year to shoot Young Adam with Ewan McGregor.
In the film, Mortimer plays a woman who has lied to her young son, telling him his father is at sea. When a ship with the same name as the one she invented docks nearby she has to come up with a plan. Her solution is to hire a stranger to pretend to be the boy's father for a day.
Natural History is co-produced by Glasgow's Sigma Films and the London-based Scorpion Films. It has already been picked up by Pathe, a leading film distributor, for release next year.
The casting of Butler is seen as a major coup for Sigma.
After his breakthrough in Dracula 2002, Butler - who studied law at Glasgow University - went on to appear in last summer's Reign of Fire.
He will also co-star with Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider 2 and the Michael Crichton time travel adventure Timeline.
This new film is directed by Shona Auerbach, director of the award-winning short Seven.
Filming begins on March 17 and is expected to run until May.
Natural History also enhances Sigma's reputation as a big player in the Scots film industry.
It has already been involved in Glasgow-based Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, which was well received at the Berlin Film Festival, as well as Young Adam.
It's the third major movie lined up for the city this year.
Danny the Dog, starring Morgan Freeman and Jet Li, has just completed shooting here and the new Ken Loach film is being lined up for the summer.
A Glasgow Film Office spokeswoman said: "We're delighted to see another big film coming to the city."

Congratulations to This Year's Computerworld Honors Gold Medal Laureates
Each year the Computerworld Honors Program recognizes individuals and organizations that create and use information technology to promote and advance public welfare, contribute to the greater good of society and change the world for the better.
We are proud to say that four Cisco nominees from public sector, including one school district and one university, were selected as Gold Medal Laureates because of their innovative uses of collaboration technology. Brief descriptions of all four are listed below.
California Correctional Health Care Services
Every year, the California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) provides healthcare for over 166,000 inmates at 33 adult correctional facilities throughout California. However, many of the prisons under CCHCS' care are located in rural areas, where healthcare specialists are in short supply. To tackle this healthcare discrepancy, the CCHCS implemented a robust solution: the CCHCS Telemedicine Program. Through the Telemedicine Program, CCHCS contracts with private healthcare entities to provide virtual specialty care services to California inmates—an initiative that necessitates collaborating with over 7,000 California healthcare and prison staff including doctors, nurses, administrative staff and pharmacists.
Mooresville Graded School District (MGSD)
MGSD in North Carolina encompasses eight schools and over 5,500 students in grades K-12. Of the 115 school districts in North Carolina, MGSD ranks 99th on the state's per-pupil-expenditure (with first place spending the most). Additionally, the district faces a high poverty rate. MGSD developed and launched a revolutionary strategic program—the Digital Conversion Program—to employ technology resources to improve teaching and learning with a focus on academic achievement, engagement, opportunity and equity. Since the Digital Conversion Program's 2008 implementation, student achievement at MGSD has skyrocketed.
Ninth Circuit Court, FL
The Ninth Judicial Circuit in Florida serves Orange County (Orlando) and Osceola County (Kissimmee) and represents a population of over 1.37 million. To address the rising demand for interpreters and create efficiencies in the court process, the Ninth Circuit developed a remote, centralized interpreting system that provides on-demand virtual language interpretation services to courts. By integrating video and audio technology into the court, the Ninth Circuit was able to change the entire system of interpreter service provision, effectively aligning supply and demand in a way that has allowed the Court to eliminate unnecessary expenditures, cover more transactions and improve the quality of interpretation within the judicial system.
University of Southern Mississippi (USM)
USM is a comprehensive doctoral and research-extensive university. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the BP oil spill, and the following flood that inundated the Mississippi Sound caused faculty and staff to leave the region, and required some classes to be taught in trailers. With faculty having to travel between sites, office hours for students seeking help suffered. Travel budgets were exhausted and travel between the various locations became an inefficient process—hindering those critical sessions of collaboration between staff that enable a university to grow and develop. USM created the Distance Learning and Collaboration (DLC) initiative to bridge the gap between disparate USM faculty and staff members at the various campuses, university and teachers, and the university and surrounding K-12 districts.
An awards gala will be held on June 4, 2012 at Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, D.C. to recognize the Laureate Class of 2012.
We congratulate this year's recipients and are proud to see how Cisco technology benefiting society!

Explore Mt Cook & Mackenzie
Marvel at the glacial blue lakes and tussock clad hills that lie at the base of Mt Cook; New Zealand's highest peak .
Glacier fed crystal blue hydro lakes are scattered throughout the Tekapo area and an early morning stop for an iconic photograph at the famous Church of the Good Shepherd is recommended to soak up the peace and tranquillity that envelop this early settler icon. At night marvel at the clarity of the Mackenzie skies as you learn about the stars above on a Mount John Observatory guided tour. Head further inland across windswept grasslands to gaze in wonder at the enigmatically named Aoraki Mount Cook – 'the Cloud Piercer' which overlooks the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and numerous glaciers including the unique Tasman Glacier with its extraordinary glacier lake.

But with the technical aspects of it, there are safety aspects. And that is lead. Lead was around long before there was OSHA and your Mom telling you not to hang around guys that drove Mustangs or played guitars in bands. But there is no sugar coating it - lead dust and vapors during the casting process are poisonous in high amounts. Mankind developed in an environment that has always contained lead in some form.. It would follow we have some tolerance for it so a brief exposure isn't going to kill you. However, once ingested, the body does not naturally get rid of lead like a bad burrito. Though some of it might be secreted out in urine or bile (the elimination rate depending on the tissue that absorbed it) most remains in your body. The side effects and health risks of long term, unchecked high exposure are NOT good.
"I hear it interferes with the absorbtion of Bacon!
Most lead stays in the body storing it up (chemically similar to how calcium is stored), at high doses causing developmental and brain issues in children where the effects are manifold and include delayed or reverse development, permanent learning disabilities, seizures. In adults add in renal and neurological damage, death and voting Democratic.
In Scientist speak: Lead perturbs multiple enzyme systems. As in most heavy metals, any ligand with sulfhydryl groups is vulnerable. Perhaps the best-known effect is that on the production of heme. Lead interferes with the critical phases of the dehydration of aminolevulinic acid and the incorporation of iron into the protoporphyrin molecule; the result is a decrease in heme production. Because heme is essential for cellular oxidation, deficiencies have far-reaching effects.
In Plain Language speak: Bad juju. BAD.
I'm NOT saying that by reloading and shooting you will get lead poisoning and cases in the U.S. are rare. However it is still something that is harmful that you don't want in your body if you can help it and especially important if you have youngsters in the household who might be exposed to it. (as kids we liked the lead paint better than the latex stuff, it tasted *twitch* so much better *twitch*)
Lead poisoning is cumulative, so any reduction in lead intake will help prevent lead poisoning. The human body maintains a normal blood lead level of about 5 micrograms per deciliter (ug/dL). 10 ug/dL is generally recognized as the early stage of lead poisoning, with anything above 20 ug/dL requiring an immediate chemical cleaning of any lead contaminated environment or removal from that environment. Serum levels of 40 ug/dL usually require chelation treatment to remove lead from the body. Trust me folks, you don't ever want to go through chelation, it's painfully slow, expensive and saps the very life out of you. It's the medical equivalent of having to watch an entire season of Jersey Shore.
Even if you don't do your own casting, certain reloading components contain lead or lead compounds and it's possible to have some exposure during reloading. Primers and bullets both contain lead, and the lead residue is present in fired cartridge cases.
Cast lead bullets develop an outer layer of lead oxide. Lead is relatively soft and the lead and lead oxide can be abraded from the surface of the bullet and transferred to the surface of your fingers when you handle lead. The biggest avenue for ingestion is through the nose and mouth.
Precautions are simple.
Yes, that's a body fluid clean up kit. But you don't need one of these for precautions (and I'd recommend against dropping it in front of the neighbors as you get your mail they will look at you funny after that)
(1) Wash hands thoroughly with soap and cool to warm water as soon as you finish loading or shooting (hot water just opens the pores, possibly allowing for more absorption).
The type of soap is less important than the temperature of the water and how long you wash. I scrub like I was preparing for a lab, thoroughly, with lots of running water, lathering up over my wrists and lower arms where the skin may have been exposed by a sleeve riding up when firing.
At the shooting range, I take some baby wipes and if I'm shooting a lot of rounds, periodically wipe my hands clean with them (I wear long sleeves rain or shine for shooting) storing the soiled cleaning cloth in a ziplock that is then sealed and thrown out.
At home at the bench you can also wear latex or nitrile gloves for extra protection if you wish to be extra cautious. I don't, but simply wash my hands thoroughly after reloading.
(2) Wash your shooting clothes separate from the rest of your clothing, especially if you have small children. Run a empty load after if you can. Leave your range shoes in the garage or outside, tracking that in the house simply sets up lead to be blown around by the vacuum cleaner so all household members would not have that exposure, even if negligible.
(3) Never eat or drink while reloading. The biggest risk of lead poisoning is through ingestion. You might get more than you bargained for with your snack. Keep your fingers out of your mouth (there's a reason none of those sexy movie scenes where they feed each other strawberries never occur at the hero's reloading bench). Don't smoke, pop in a piece of gum or chew tobacco while reloading. Don't hum show tunes or yodel while reloading., It has no bearing on lead exposure but it IS annoying to anyone else in range.
(4) Primers are gradually becoming lead-free, but many of them still contain lead, and many shooters and reloaders do not consider that new and spent primers are a potential source of lead contamination. So use the same safety precautions when handling primers - good hygiene, avoiding inhaling any dust. Note: When reloading, the yellow dust you might find in the priming station is a toxic lead compound. Clean the effected parts and equipment with a disposable towel dampened with a good cleaner and then properly discard of the towel. Don't' even consider using a can of compressed gas to blow off the dust like you would on a computer board. It will just become airborne where it can be inhaled and/or settle back on another surface as a contaminate.
(5) Avoid breathing dust in the reloading area. Wear a dust mask when working with dry case cleaning media. As a general rule ,all dust is not good for you (even pine wood dust) and metal dust is badder, heavy metal dust is real badder. Metal vapor is never good either, think of it as VERY fine biologically active dust.
If working indoors you might want to consider a home/garage fume hood. I'm not sure if there are DIY instructions on the Net but I bet you could make one with some sheet metal, plywood, some ducting and a computer muffin fan, vented through a HEPA filter, on some raindy Sunday afternoon.
Around friends who reload with me, the sound of a tumbler filled with mildly abrasive medium churning away is a common sound. The inside of the case and particularly the inside of the spent primer contains lead compounds. Tumble cleaning removes these fine particles and they remain in the cleaning media. But they can become airborne just waiting to be inhaled when sifting brass to separate it from the cleaning media. Most people don't think about lead contamination when cleaning brass. One trick to collect the fine black dust that's generated during vibratory bowl cleaning is to place a used dryer sheet in there which will grab a lot of it and then can be disposed of.
(6) When the cleaning media starts to get gray it's time to replace it. Don't sift it through an open colander to separate the cleaning media, use a covered rotating basket style separator and keep the lid closed while the basket is spinning. Keep the lid closed for a minute after rotating the separator basket to allow the dust to settle. Clean the area around the tumbler and media separator after every use, by spraying a cleaner on the surface and wiping the damp surfaces with a paper towel. Be careful not to stir up the dust and allow it to circulate in the air. Lead residue from fired cases builds up with use. Wear a dust mask when pouring the media into and out of a case cleaner. A general wipe down of your reloading equipment will suffice between uses.
(7) Keeping the loading area itself clean. It might be cluttered but make sure the surfaces are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. Damp moping the floor around it is the preferred method of clean up, I use those Swiffer type mop clothes, and then remove them with a paper towel that gets discarded with the used cleaning cloth.
If you setting up a new reloading area, and have some choices, avoid one with carpet. Carpet is a static electricity hazard as well as just being harder to effectively clean. If your reloading area is carpeted buy one of those big plastic easy to clean, mats that people use in their cubicles and place that under your work area.
At the range:
(8) If you pick up brass put it in its own bag, don't put in pockets of your clothing which will only contaminate your clothes.
(9) See rule no. 3. No eating or drinking (which actually is Zombieland rule No. 24) if you can help it. If you need a bottle of water (or two) at an outdoor range on a hot day, simply wash your hands before and after if handling the cap. Also avoid ANY contact with Pirates Booty, a dangerous substance especially if you have only one bag and two people.
Some General Notes on Indoor Ranges:
The lead vapor created in firing a handgun has multiple sources: the action of hot propellant gases against the lead base of the bullet, the friction of the bullet against the barrel itself, and the combustion of lead contained within priming compounds. Numerous studies have shown that shooters, safety officers and others in the shooting area at ranges frequently have elevated blood lead levels caused both by inhaling lead vapor and by inadequate personal hygiene prior to smoking and/or eating.
The air in the range should not be reused or, if reused, it should be filtered. Remember, if there's a constant cloud of "gunsmoke" and you can taste the sweetish metallic taste of lead in the air it's time to go shoot elsewhere. If you don't see the smoke or taste that but leave with a sore throat you might wish to speak to the owner about the ventilation if you can do so.
Lead removal from a firearm is a separate matter and is something I've written of before. But for those new to reloading, just some simple precautions, simple steps.
But don't let these simple rules scare you, lead poisoning itself in the United States among shooters and non shooters alike, is rare, but you still should take precautions. With simple hygiene and habits, your risk of exposure is quite negligible. If you know the hazards you can control the hazards. Taking simple precautions to avoid lead exposure should be an essential part of your shooting safety knowledge and practice.

Robins coast to victory
Jeff Goulding's first-half penalty and a late Jimmy Spencer effort handed Cheltenham a 2-0 win over Macclesfield.
A scrappy opening saw both sides struggle to create, Darrly Duffy and Josh Low squandering half chances for the home side while Ross Draper volleyed high over the Robins goal at the other.
Cheltenham midfielder Kaid Mohamed was just off target on the half-hour when he latched onto a Goulding header only to push his shot just wide of the far post.
Four minutes later the home side were ahead. Russell Penn was tripped inside the area by Scott Kay and Goulding made no mistake from the spot.
It should have been 2-0 on 38 minutes when a Danny Andrew throw skimmed off the head of Macclesfield defender Nat Brown, forcing keeper Jose Veiga into a smart reflex save.
The visitors upped their game in the second half but, for all their possession, failed to test Cheltenham keeper Jack Butland on his debut, defender Shaun Brisley putting their best effort wide from eight yards.
The Robins made sure of victory two minutes from time when substitute Spencer steered home Low's centre.

The stars of the upcoming revenge comedy The Other Woman have been jet-setting all over the world these past two weeks to promote their new flick, but actress Leslie Mann has been consistently "bag-blocked" by the large, luxurious bag choices of Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton, who always seem to be leading the pack. But at long last, we can see her press tour bag of choice – the ever-classy Hermes Kelly Bag, in a lovely shade of cerulean blue. Here's Leslie arriving solo at LAX, presumably on her way home. (I can imagine she's pretty grateful for a little alone time at this point.)
Blue was certainly the preferred hue of handbags during this paparazzi-tastic press tour. We saw Leslie's costar Kate Upton carry a blue Celine Crocodile Luggage Tote in Sydney, Australia, and a blue patterned Fendi 3Jours Shopping Tote in Paris. A few savvy commenters actually spotted a black Hermes Kelly in the background in one of our Sydney pics, so it's possible the Hermes Kelly is Leslie's choice for every occasion.

First, I set up two workspaces. One called "My Computer" which has two panes - Bible text and My Notes. This workspace is displayed on my laptop screen. The second is a workspace called "Preach the Word" with four Tabs - Bible text, a map, a photo of Capernaum, and a photo of Peter's house. This workspace is displayed on the projector. The two workspaces are tied together so that they will scroll in sync. I saved the workspaces as a session by going to File, Save Session, and giving it the name Slideshow. In the future, when I open the Slideshow file, I will have two workspaces - one on my laptop, and the other displayed on the projector screen.
Second, I went to Preferecnes, General, and at Other, I checked "Ignore mouse click in slideshow pane." I then clicked on the project screen workspace to bring it to the front. Next, I ran the slideshow by clicking on Windows, Slideshow.
Here are some things I observed. I can drag the Icon that controls the slideshow to my laptop screen and control the presentation without the audience seeing any mouse movement. I have the ability to scroll the Bible text in sync, and change translations on my laptop, and my notes are displayed for my eyes only.
However, I lose some features that are important. I cannot use the Goto Box by hitting the TAB key. It does not work in either screen regardless of the setting in Preferences in #2 above. Also, I lose the Accordance Tool bar on my laptop. Actually, I think what is happening is that slideshow is running on both workspaces, except the projector screen workspace seems to be in full mode, whereas the laptop workspace still has several menu choices even though they do not function. I can enlarge the text and change translations, but most normal features do not work.
Another oddity. The Instant Details window fads in and out on the laptop workspace even though it is turned off in Preferences. The slideshow Icon also fads in and out, but it seems to have no interaction with the Instant Details windows.
My conclusion at this point is: While running Accordance in slideshow mode looks very good on a dual screen, there are several features which are lacking which limit its usefulness. I plan to continue to run Accordance in dual screen in my classroom teaching, but I believe Keynote is probably the better choice for my sermon presentations.

Heh, I bet Zero's calm because he'll able to deploy his queen for that battle... I'm also hoping that it's stronger than the Lancelot.

From the looks of it, Lancelot has an upper hand thanks to its beam shield and Slash Harkens (wired rocket anchors) but I guess the CL-2 must also pack a LOT of punch with that clawed hand - perhaps enough to shear the Lancelot's Slash Harkens off their wires and force Suzaku back for a while. I hope for a handheld rifle or some equipment powerful enough to counter the new Maser Vibration Swords but as I said above, the deciding factor will mostly be the surprise effect. Other than that, there is also the possibility that Suzaku MIGHT NOT be dispatched to the JLF's hideout for the mop-up battle and he'll most likely watch it from TV while Lloyd loudly giggles in the background at the appearance of an opponent worthy of Lancelot.
In any case, I believe the CL-2's (dramatic) appearance will be enough to jeopardize the entire wipeout operation Britannia engaged against the JLF and draw the world's attention on Japan and Zero's fight. One question left unanswered, though, is where does the CL-2 come from - did the JLF build it or did Zero once again use his power of Geass on some private engineering division? Because if the JLF happens to be the builder (which seems likely), then it means Zero and co. would have to reach the JLF base, sneak in (which is no small task) then sneak out presumably using Kallen's rampage as cover.
Ah, the wonders of speculation and realism...

It wouldn't be too farfetched for this series if Zero just showed up at the JFL's base and Geass'ed the right people to leave the Crimson Lotus ripe for the taking.
As for the battle, I find the most likely outcome to be that the Lancelot won't be deployed in episode 10. Sunrise won't allow Suzaku to be defeated this early (or at all) in the series, and it'd be extremely anticlimactic for the Crimson Lotus to be defeated by the Lancelot in its very first battle.
On second thought, in the event that the Lancelot is defeated at some point, all that does is give Sunrise the excuse to make a Lancelot v2.0... (I'm looking at YOU, Strike Freedom...)

Here's my question.
It's almost a given that Cornelia is either going to die at the hands of Lulu or by the hands of the emperor.
Now, will Nanaly be alive at the end of the series?
There's been a precedent for this:
Clamp's X/1999- Kamui's imouto was offed
GSD - Shin's imouto croaked at the start.
If Nanaly dies before the end - any bets on what Lulu would do next?

Hobby Japan Jan 07 has some nice Code Geass pages, including this one with the colour schemes for the Crimson Lotus Mark 2, not surprisingly it's red (and orange), and Lelouch's modified Glasgow (grey and red with gold horns):
Also in the very bottom right there's also red and grey (with rabbit ears lol) modified versions of the Glasgow.

So its pretty obvious that Nanaly will "die" before the end... There's like zero chance that she won't... The circumstances all lead up to it... As well as the history.
Whether its a permanent death or not is another question. But still, the show will make Lulu go off into a tangent and Nanaly's "death" is the only way that'll happen.

i guess by being someone that depends on lulu, nanaly has already risen her "death flag"
even tho i wont like to see it happen i think theres about 50-50 chance that it will...i do wish there was some other alternative but atm my mind is blocked >.<

Of course i don't want anything to happen to Nunally, but ever since the third episode.. i've been getting this feeling that something shall happen to her, it might be death.. or something to do with her weak state. Even so - it would push Lelouch over the edge.. but for that to happen, someone has to find out about Zero's identity. That could very well be how Schneizel shall make his appearance.
Remember, its just speculation. ^^;;

To make it clear, Kallen would be the only one with the Crimson Lotus MK-II.
I don't think that unit Lelouch will get with the horns and fangs is a Glascow, ブライ is the name in the image. BuRaI? Burai? People who actually have real Japanese language skills, feel free to correct me...
("Burai" could mean "無頼", which I believe translates to "Thug". Not a glorious name by any means... Then again, that might be intentional in differentiating them from the blue-blooded British Mechs.)
Anyway, all Burai's have fangs on its face, as shown in an earlier b/w image. Only the Commander-unit, piloted by Zero, has horns. The horn-less units are used by the other Black Knight members. From the B/W image descriptions, the horned unit does not have special powers compared to the hornless versions; in keeping with Chess, where the King isn't overtly powerful.

God, i hope Nanaly does not die she is not having it easy as it is. But like Deathkillz i think there is a 50-50 it could happen... assuming Britania is the cause(who else) it would serve as a reason for Suzaku to curse Britania to high heavens, then team up with Lulu(who would have gone on a bloody rage about this time) and then they could go postal on Britania together.
That aside, why didn't Lulu simply order Cornelia to go back to Britania and kill all the royal family and herself after it has been done ?

I'm pretty sure everyone can admit that the first image posted is just 100% Epic - i'm loving it. & for some reason, looking at the second image had be wondering when Toudou shall take more of an active role in the show.

Looks like the Crimson Lotus' maiden battle will be a two-ep story, possibly with ep10 ending on a cliffhanger as Lancelot enters the battlefield (preceded by CL-2 having wiped out all Britannian forces, causing Cornelia to call on Lloyd and co. for reinforcements) and ep11 ending on a statu quo, all forces draw back and reconsider the current situation.
For my part I sort of prefer the third pic but that's just my tastes lighting up like a Christmas tree on steroids.

Random Truthful Thoughts
So wassup with this world and fashion. I call fashion the "The Art of Diversity" because thats all its about different parts of people being expressed through their own sense of style. Its all about how the mind wanders when a pattern comes across one,how that color way give appeal to that person, how just a couple of buttons could change the whole idea of the piece.You cant just jump and say you have a passion for something and dont really know what your doing. I just hate for this world of fashion be ruined by the ones that careless about it, and the ones that do be underestimated. I call fashion "The Art of Diversity" so i would like to see more of it not just a few

CytoSoft® 6-well Plate
Elastic Modulus 8 kPa, 5 Plates
Catalog #5142-5EA (formerly #5142)
Directions for Use
Product Brochure
Certificate of Analysis
CytoSoft® Video
Coating CytoSoft® Video
Full Product Description
The rigidity of the substrate to which cells adhere can have a profound effect on cell morphology and gene expression. CytoSoft® products provide a tool to culture cells on substrates with various rigidities covering a broad physiological range. On the bottom of each well, there is a thin layer of specially formulated biocompatible silicone, whose elastic modulus (rigidity) is carefully measured and certified. The surfaces of the gels in CytoSoft® products are functionalized to form covalent bonds with amines on proteins. This chemical functionalization is stable and the reaction does not require a catalyst, facilitating the coating of the gel surfaces with matrix proteins and plating cells.
The silicone substrates of CytoSoft® products are optically clear and have a low auto-florescence. The layer of silicone in each well is firmly bonded to the bottom of the well. Unlike hydrogels (such as polyacrylamide gels), silicone gels are not susceptible to hydrolysis, do not dry nor swell, are resilient and resistant to tearing or cracking, and their elastic moduli (rigidities) remain nearly unchanged during extended storage periods.
CytoSoft® products accommodate the harvesting of cells using enzymes such as trypsin and collagenase. There is no biochemical breakdown of the substrate during or after enzyme treatment, and there are no residuals of the substrate in the sample retrieved from a CytoSoft® plate.
This CytoSoft® product, Catalog Number 5142, has an elastic modulus of approximately 8 kPa in a standard flat-bottom 6-well plate. The thickness of the silicone gel is uniform with a ~0.5 mm thick layer of silicone in each well that is fully compatible with mammalian cell cultures. The plates are packaged individually, sterilized using irradiation and provided with 5 plates per package.

Preparation and Usage
Note: Use these recommendations as guidelines to determine the optimal coating conditions for your culture system.
Remove the CytoSoft® product from the protective sleeve in a sterile hood.
- Prepare extracellular matrix material by neutralizing in amine-free buffer pH 7.4 to 7.9 (such as 1X DPBS). We do not recommend using gelatin as your ECM protein.
Note: Pre-warm the coating solution to approximately room temperature before use.
- Dilute as needed, and dispense 3 ml of solution into each well to coat the surface.
Note: Recommended dilution for PureCol® Type I collagen is 1:30 (~100 µg/ml).
Note: The hydrophobic surface requires larger volumes to cover the surface than do conventional plastic dishes
- Incubate ECM coated CytoSoft® at room temperature, covered for 0.5-1 hour.
- After incubation, aspirate any remaining material and rinse coated surfaces immediately two times with culture medium or PBS. Leave about 2.5 ml of medium per well to keep surface covered.
Note: Do not allow the CytoSoft® surface to become dry once the surface has been wetted.
5. Coated surfaces are ready for use.
Standard harvesting procedures used for removing cells from cultureware can be employed for harvesting cells from the CytoSoft® product including use of trypsin, Accutase® and non-enzymatic cell detachment solutions.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
Wall Street shook off early losses and jumped into the green Tuesday, led by a strong performance across consumer discretionary and telecommunications stocks.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 11:07 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 80.5 points, or 0.63%, to 12896, the S&P 500 gained 8.5 points, or 0.63%, to 1389 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 4.4 points, or 0.15%, to 2909.
The markets took a breather Monday, barely budging in holiday-thinned trade. However, activity picked up Tuesday. Every major sector was recently to the upside. Echoing the performance of the broad markets, Home Depot (NYSE:HD), AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) were among the best Dow performers.
Home Depot posted better-than-expected quarterly results on the top and bottom lines, helping to send its shares higher. However, on the other end of the spectrum, were technology stocks. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) slumped after a key Windows executive who was seen as a prime candidate for the chief executive role unexpectedly left. Other big-name tech companies like Cisco (NASDAQ:CSC) and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) fell as well.
European, Fiscal Cliff Worries Linger
On the European front, a closely-watched indicator of German economic sentiment unexpectedly dropped in November. The ZEW Indicator of Economic Sentiment fell 4.2 points to -15.7. Economists expected a reading of -10. There have been worries brewing that the eurozone's debt crisis, coupled with other global headwinds, are beginning to take a toll on Europe's biggest economy that has so far been fairly resilient.
Eurozone finance ministers also gave Greece an extra two years to meet goals on slashing its budget deficit. However, disagreements between the European Union and International Monetary Fund have caused uncertainty over when the country will receive much-needed rescue aid. Without the aid, Greece is at risk of defaulting on its debt, the specter of which has roiled financial markets in the past.
The economic calendar remains fairly light on Tuesday, with a report on the U.S. budget deficit due at 2:00 p.m. ET. It is set to pick up later in the week with minutes from the Federal Reserve's last policy-setting meeting and data on retail sales, inflation and manufacturing.
Wall Street has also been paying close attention to Washington, D.C., with the fiscal cliff ticking closer every day. President Barack Obama is set to meet with labor leaders Tuesday and then with business leaders the following day to discuss the disagreements.
Commodities markets were lightly changed. The benchmark crude oil contract fell 21 cents, or 0.25%, to $85.35 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.58% to $2.661 a gallon.
In metals, gold slumped $2.30, or 0.13%, to $1,729 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 fell 0.39% to 2464, the English FTSE 100 dipped 0.55% to 5735 and the German DAX dropped 0.83% to 7109.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 slipped 0.18% to 8661 and the Chinese Hang Seng sold off by 1.1% to 21189.

Researchers develop algebraic model to monitor cellular change
Researchers at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences have developed a novel algebraic model of DNA "hybridization," a process central to most biotechnology devices that monitor changes in cell's gene expression or characterize a cell's genome. Their work, which is described in the journal Physical Review E, provides an additional tool for understanding how biological systems function and could enhance methods and designs of technologies used in cancer and genetics research.
Biology researchers seek to measure cell activity, but the task is a challenging one because of its complexitya cell has so many facets, all taking place simultaneously, that it is difficult to measure the behavior of its individual parts. Genes that do not necessarily affect each other inside a cell can disturb each others' measurements in a biotechnology device.
To get around these obstacles, the NYU researchers focused on how a cell's most basic components are measuredits DNA and RNA. Specifically, they used a cell's gene expressions as a "tagging system" to monitor cell behavior at its most fundamental level.
For this purpose, they focused on microarray technology in which researchers first gather data on the make-up of RNA molecules in two steps: RNA is first converted into cDNA, or "copy DNA," and then measured by hybridization.
However, the researchers' initial work involved not experiments, but, rather, the creation of mathematical models to predict "DNA-cDNA duplex formation." They developed an algebraic computation that allowed them to model arbitrary DNA-cDNA duplex formation, and, with it, measurements of cellular behavior. Specifically, they assigned to various chemical properties of DNA strands different algebraic values (e.g., "K," "X," "Y"). They then ran a series of computations that resulted in expressing how "matches" or "mismatches" among various strands of DNA can be characterized by the input algebraic variables. These computations could then be used directly to design the most accurate biotechnology for measuring cellular behavior.
To confirm the validity of these algebraic models, the researchers conducted laboratory experiments involving the hybridization of DNA sequences. These results largely confirmed those predicted by the mathematical modelsthe DNA sequences in the laboratory matched up in most instances in ways the models forecast.
