Former ASBMB Policy Fellow Kyle M. Brown offers a few impressions about what scientists can expect from a career in science policy. (Titled "Dr. Brown Goes to Washington" in print version.)
Kyle M. Brown received his bachelor of science from Georgetown University and his doctorate in evolutionary genetics from Harvard University. He served as the 2009-2010 ASBMB science policy fellow and currently is the genetics and public policy fellow for the American Society for Human Genetics and the National Human Genome Research Institute. In November 2010, he will continue his fellowship with the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
When I decided to major in both biology and government in college, people said to me, "That's a unique mix. What are you going to do with that?" I didn't have a good answer until I discovered science policy. So, as my doctorate began to wrap up, I decided to embrace my two passions.
Fortunately, science policy is a viable and vibrant career choice for academically trained scientists. After a year as the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology science policy fellow, I offer a few impressions about what scientists can expect from a Washington, D.C. experience.
Politicians and scientists often assert that there is a scientifically correct solution to every policy problem. While sitting in congressional hearings, I have heard members of Congress say "we should do what the science tells us." Although scientific analysis is important for informing policy decisions, science is mute on which decisions are "best."
Fundamentally, policymaking is about priorities. There is never enough time or resources to ensure that every meritorious program receives what it needs. Furthermore, policymakers rarely share the same priorities. Congressmen from Wichita and Los Angeles are likely to champion vastly different issues. Even federal agencies pursue certain policies over others based on the political priorities of the current administration.
Our national science policy is rife with such prioritizations. For example, biomedical and ecological research each receive vastly different amounts of federal funding. Also, although many lawmakers would like to stop global climate change, the country needs cheap and reliable sources of energy.
At ASBMB, I helped to shape the policy priorities in Washington. In meetings with congressmen and their staff, ASBMB members and I emphasized how biomedical research saves lives, creates jobs and increases American competitiveness. Because "all politics is local," senators and representatives were keenly interested in the effects that research funding had on the economy and their districts.
But political realities and competing needs often trump ideal solutions. Every program has its advocates and opponents, and policymakers and politicians must weigh the costs and benefits of each decision. Because so many independent political actors are involved, policies always represent political compromises.
For the political junkie, working in Washington can be like standing outside of a Hollywood premiere. When I first started at ASBMB, I had a number of star-struck moments while walking the halls of Congress or attending briefings. Apparently, members of Congress not only talk on their Bluetooth headsets but also jog in Dupont Circle. As Us Weekly would say, "Senators: They're just like us!"
The connections between Hollywood and Washington are all too appropriate. Members of Congress live and die by their images. Long-serving senators can be tagged as "Washington insiders" and "pork-barrel" spenders, making them vulnerable to "virtuous" and ideologically pure challengers.
For those interested in policy, appearances are as important as results. Great policy that is perceived poorly will go nowhere. In the recent New Yorker article "As the World Burns," Ryan Lizza details the U.S. Senate's negotiations of potential climate-change legislation. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., led the initial negotiations but pulled his support after FOX News claimed he was proposing a widely unpopular "gas tax." Without Graham's support, the bill garnered no Republican support and was dead on arrival.
Policymakers cultivate their images on Washington's political stage. High-profile events draw attention to important issues and bring new information to the forefront. But equally important is how members appear to their constituents at those hearings. Offending CEOs who testify before Congress can expect an indignant public scolding from each member of Congress involved. For many members, portraying themselves as tough public servants is as important as any outcome from the actual hearing.
In short, the spin is as important as the content. Effective policymakers work within the system and use the theater to push their agendas forward.
Academic-scientific training teaches critical thinking and research skills that translate well in policy fields. But other nontechnical skills, like writing and communicating well, are essential for nonacademic careers. Often, my "softer" skills have come from unexpected places.
Because I was interested in how science could be explained to the public, I took a course on "communicating science" while in graduate school. The course was taught by a journalist and focused heavily on journalistic writing. At the time, I thought, "This is fun, but I'll never be a journalist."
To my surprise, journalistic writing became an essential part of my daily work at ASBMB. Under the excellent mentorship of the society's public relations expert, Angela Hopp, my previous training blossomed. Monthly news stories for ASBMB Today quickly led to weekly pieces for the ASBMB Policy Blotter, the society's science policy blog. The lessons also served me well while preparing policy briefs and memos on important issues. A skill I never imagined using became an essential part of getting ASBMB's message out to members and policymakers.
My foray into journalism demonstrates that unlikely experiences can be an essential part of successfully transitioning into policy. Drawing upon all of your skills can help give you a head start in roles for which you haven't been specifically trained.
In a town of spin doctors and lobbyists, the reserved and introverted scientist can feel overwhelmed. A scientist expects his or her curriculum vitae, with all of its degrees, honors and publications, to speak for itself. But selling yourself is part of the policy game, and a successful transition requires that you be your own best advocate.
Become an ASBMB science policy fellow. The formal application procedure begins in February 2011, but feel free to contact Geoffrey Hunt for more details, and to be informed when the application process has opened. Stay tuned to the ASBMB website for more details on how to apply.
First off, get out there and meet as many people as you can. Although you may have had a robust academic network, in the policy world, you likely are starting from scratch. I quickly lost track of how many receptions, happy hours and events I'd been to in Washington. But, they help you meet people and hone the "elevator speech" that describes you and your interests.
Of course, "networking" involves business cards. Lots of them. I carry them with me all the time, and I'm never shy about handing them out. If your school or organization doesn't print them for you, Internet-based companies will for a small fee. They are a great way to remember a conversation, and it's polite to exchange cards at the end of a talk or meeting.
In Washington, I quickly dispensed with my academic CV. Scientists like to list every award, publication, society and teaching position they have ever received. Most of that is irrelevant. Even when I listed my publications on my resume, no interviewer ever read them. I've now condensed my multipage academic monster to a clean 1 1/2-page version that is adapted to the position for which I am applying.
When I interview for positions, I make sure to tailor my resume and my answers to the specific position. Employers want to hear how your skills and experiences will benefit their organizations. An interviewer definitely will notice if you highlight your experience with an issue in which he or she is interested.
I learned a lot with ASBMB, but I'm just getting started. My new position allows me to contribute to policymaking from inside a federal agency and with a U.S. Senate committee. Although I'm still deciding where I'd like to end up in the long term, I can't think of anything more worthwhile than using my education for the public good.

Five-star steak in Canterbury at Braided Rivers!
From backpackers to billionaires, all holidaymakers have one thing in common. At the end of a day traveling, nothing sounds better than a five star steak!
Travellers to New Zealand are in luck. With a little inside information, they can make their way to the home of the South Island's best-kept steak secret.
In the true heart of Canterbury, where ocean meets Alps, and hospitality is home-grown, there is no better place to experience local culture and world-class cuisine than Braided Rivers restaurant and bar.
Braided Rivers boasts the only Montague Steakhouse broiler in the entire South Island, imported from America and known around the world for creating steak perfection.
The Wakanui fillets are grain fed and well known for the depth of flavour and delicious, juicy texture.
The broiler delivers a one-off combination of infrared and radiant heat, creating extreme temperatures. This creates a crust on the steak, sealing in all the natural juices for the ultimate quality meat. Described as the 'gold standard' in the steakhouse business, the Braided Rivers broiler is only the second to be introduced in all of New Zealand.
The décor at Braided Rivers is warm and chic, with plush carpets, wooden furniture and a coy courtyard. Start the evening with a relaxed drink at the bar, slip away for a steak, shoulder of lamb or whitebait dinner with friends, and enjoy the rugby later on the big screen – all without changing venues!
Braided Rivers is one of the best places in the South Island to enjoy an authentic Kiwi dining experience – fresh, local produce, served by one of Christchurch's legendary chefs and topped off with a large helping of friendliness and fun.
There are so many ways to Experience Mid Canterbury - fantastic places to stay and people to meet.

Our application gets lots of information from LDAP server which uses refferals. Code which use jldap is executed in single thread. After some time of obtaining informations JLDAP hangs in MessageAgent.getLDAPMessage() as you can see at following thread dump: http://rafb.net/p/kwhTyh67.html It is repeatable every time we execute our application. It hangs always in the same line of JLDAP code. We turned on jldap debug (-Dldap.debug=TraceAll) and also sniffed communication between JLDAP and LDAP server using Wireshark. Interesting part of JLDAP debug you can see here: http://rafb.net/p/diqKzz11.html As you can see some refferal connections is lost in lines 14, 35, 53. After that we have some writes to that connections in lines 240 (message 146), 283 (message 147) and 333 (message 148). All this writes didn't come to the wire (as we can see in Wireshark or rather cannot see) because of "java.io.IOException: Output stream not initialized". This exception is only logged to debug stream and silently discarded in com.novell.ldap.Connection.writeMessage(LDAPMessage msg) because variable clientActive is false. So, If I understand it correctly, caller code doesn't know that anything goes wrong in called (write message) code. As a result JLDAP still wait for responses of messages 146, 147, 148 which hasn't been sent. This ends up with forever wait in line 368 of debug stream. Regards Marcin

Johnny Cupcakes continues to pump out new products for the summer. Here are a couple of his latest, including his latest tee, Power Mitts! How many of you remember Nintendo's Power Glove from the late 80's? If you do then Power Mitt from Johnny Cupcakes is the tee for you! The shirt sells for $35.99 and is available now for purchase. Check out the video below for an old school Power Glove commercial.Â
Mr. Cupcakes also released a pair of crossbones printed shorts ($64.99) and rolling pin board shorts ($59.99). I dig the casual crossbones shorts but am not sure if I would trust those board shorts. I have had bad experiences with boardshorts not coming from a brand that specializes in water sports. Quiksilver is my brand of choice when it comes to board shorts because of their durability and selection of wacky and fun designs.Â

Phew, its all over. Exhausted!!!! Thank you to everyone who came along to the studio at the weekend, more than 200 of you in all, thats a lot of talking, and a lot of wine!!! It was a huge success for us both so thanks for the support of the project.
On Tuesday, I drove to Winchester to deliver six new paintings as part of a group show of Marine artists. The show starts tonight at Bell Fine Art. A very apt name for a gallery I'm showing in I thought.
Whilst in Winchester I happened to wander past THE most lovely shop I've seen in a long time.
The Hambledon.
Its huge!!! Over four floors there are room upon room of goodness, from furniture design classics like the Eames rocker, vintage furniture like this lovely Ercol chair, these beautiful French vintage boxes above (how did I not buy them?) to the latest Saltwater, Orla Kiely, Odd Molly and Goat collection in the Womenswear department on the top floor. Sean was happy flicking through the design books and the menswear section, there were also toys, ceramics, great books, beautiful toiletries, I could go on and on. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. The only thing I thought was missing perhaps was some locally made items and a bit more handmade but the interior of the shop was my dream. I wanted to move in! I'm not sure what exactly happened but I just came out with a gift for a friend. I think I was a little overwhelmed and didn't quite know where to start. Perhaps it was all just too much for my senses to take.
Instead next door was an art shop so I went and blew £100 on new pencils, brushes, pens and paint colours instead. What is that all about!?!?!?!?!?
I also managed to find a pair of Ugg boots in size 5 as they seem to have sold out in most places across the country, so thats my feet sorted till February. So a very good day was had in all until we hit a major jam on the way home so we spent 6 hours in the car. Hooray for M&S at service stations now, at least we could get something nice for dinner to be eaten in the car.
I am working on another painting for a Care home, which is 100x180cm, BIG!, I will try to photograph the progression. I have some lovely links saved up which I will get round to tomorrow, until then though Happy Thursday peeps xxx

Stuff like this has made me depend only on myself in gaining the Dharma teachings. I go to the temples, but I don't talk to monks or nuns for any guidance. I just and and donate some money - keeps me from getting into too much trouble. For me personally, my relationship is between me and Buddha -- thank goodness!
http://www.strippingthegurus.com/stgsam ... /dalai.asp
This book criticizes just about all religions, including Christianity:
The caliber of monks today has not, it seems, radically improved:
[O]ver 90% of those who wear the robes [in India, and elsewhere] are "frauds" in the sense the questioners would connote by "fraud." The idea that the monk is more perfect than the non-monk is inveterate, and it is kindled by the monks themselves. If perfection is to mean greater dedication to the search for spiritual emancipation, then there is undoubtedly more of it among the monks. But in terms of human morality and of human intellect, monks are nowhere more perfect than lay people (Bharati, 1980; italics added).
Far too many men become Buddhist monks, because it's a good life and they have devotion. The Dalai Lama has publicly stated that only ten out of one hundred monks are true candidates (Mackenzie, 1999).
Likewise for Japanese Zen:
It seemed to me that most of the monks [at Suienji] were proud of their position, lazy, stupid, greedy, angry, confused, or some combination. Mainly they were the sons of temple priests putting in their obligatory training time so that they could follow in daddy's footsteps. They listened to radios, drank at night and had pinups on the wall.
What they were really into, though, was power trips. It's what got them off.... The senior monks were always pushing around the junior monks, who in turn were pushing around the ones that came after them (in Chadwick, 1994).
The observations of a Thai Buddhist monk, in Ward (1998), at a monastery run by Ajahn Chah, are no more flattering:
The farang [Westerners] at this wat [monastery] who call themselves monks are nothing but a bunch of social rejects who have found a place where they can get free food, free shelter and free respect. They are complacent and their only concern is their perks at the top end of the hierarchy.

Dragonball Kai: Dragonball Z's 20th Anniversary Recut!!
Source: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Kai
Oh thank Kami-sama, it's about time!!
No no no, it won't be a continuation to that awful tripe called Dragonball GT.
Basically, in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Dragonball Z, Toei is going to re-release the series, digitally remastered, widescreen.
But nope, this is not a mere "George Lucas" recut we are talking about here.
Like Rebuild Of Evangelion, although the basic animaton will be based on the 20 year old footage, it will be redone with today's technology. We can expect to look forward to beautiful Air and Kanon style scenery coupled with spectacular CG Kamehamehas!!
Also, without time constraints or a need to make fillers to let Mr Toriyama have time to finish the manga chapters, Toei is going to cut all the fillers and extra fights not in the manga, getting the story to Toriyama's exact original vision. This means that the series is going to be shortened from the monstrously long 291 Episodes to a reasonable 100!!
The story will flow much faster, thank Kami!!
Best of all, the ENTIRE vocal track will be re-recorded with all the surviving original cast members. Some (like Master Roshi/Kamesenin's and Tenshinhan's voice) will obviously have to be recast due to having gone to heaven recently. The performances will hopefully be stronger and more emotional with hindsight in the picture.
The sound effects and music, will of course be re-designed and re-done as well. Let's hope composer Meistro Kikuichi Shunsuke comes out of retirement to serenade us one more time with his classic score one more time!!
Ah, 2009 is a great year to be a Dragonball Z fan....

Hmm, even if Kikuichi Shunsuke-sensei cannot come back to compose the music, wouldn't it be totally wicked if Ms Kajiura Yuki-sensei can compose it instead.
Imagine, Remastered-Dragonball Z with the awesome European-Techno-Opera beat of anime like Kara No Kyoukai, Noir and Mai-Hime...
Oh, righteous dudes, Totally Righteous!!

I request this thread to be moved to the "Unaired" forum. Yes, this uses footage from Dragon Ball Z, but it's not Dragon Ball Z. It's Dragon Ball Kai, and it hasn't been licensed yet.

Sigh... I know we would reach this stage someday. I'm not complaining about seeing more Dragon Ball, but can't anyone say that lately we seem to be getting a tad to many remakes? I mean, at least previously the companies only copied their own concepts and at least had the decency to change the color palette, the characters names and maybe the setting, but now we don't even get that.

Ya know, when I've seen an anime whose manga I haven't read, it always makes me bored afterwards, when I read the manga for any missing parts (while the opposite doesn't happen,I'm always looking forwards to music,graphics and dubbing). With dragonball, besides the manga and original anime, and besides aaaaaaall the games that have been published, each with its own crazy side-story (up to the point of Friez-buu fusion), I'm still kinda excited to see the anime (mainly because when I first saw it I was so young I can't remember any of it right now ^_^)

Wow I can't believe this. I was just revisiting my entire manga collection of Dragonball the other day, marveling at how it was truly the only genuine source of my favorite manga ever, and now I hear about this news. This is excellent. I seriously can't wait for this.

Nope, never was into Dragon Ball when I was little, but re-animating old series isn't such a bad idea. Cutting all the fillers and stuff, isn't this heaven for all DB fans? But I have to admit, toei doesn't seem to have the equipment to make beautiful HD anime, if anyone seen Pretty Cure 5 or newer series, you can actually see pixels enlarged, the only cg is in the transformation and attacking scenes. I hope they do give a better treatment, at the end of the day, this is Dragon Ball.
Its no surprising they're trying to milk the series, the credit crunch isn't great for the animators too.
I wish Cardcaptor Sakura gets re-animated too...I know a digitally remastered Blu-ray is going to be release. But re-animated with pretty CG sounds...much better.

After hearing about Dragon Ball Evolution the american movie, maybe Toei is already preparing to redeem DBZ's name
Seriously,that's good news , can't wait to see how they will cut some memorable fights which took 1, 2 weeks, to finish; good memories nonetheless.

Gun violence is our choice
When are we, as a decent people, going to stop accepting death on a massive scale from guns as an unavoidable fact of life?
Early last year, we said on this page that the nation's gun laws are "a tragic outrage." That was in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Arizona that left a member of Congress near death and killed a half-dozen other people, including a 9-year-old girl. It was true then. It was true after similar slaughters that occurred since then. It was true only days ago when someone shot up a mall in Oregon.
It is true now after 27 people, including 20 children, were killed at a Newtown elementary school.
Those past horrors were soon forgotten as the news cycle spun on. This one must not be. We can no longer shake our heads and do nothing. Doing nothing is not a solution.
Gun laws in Connecticut are strict. Border controls are not. There is no impediment to transporting guns and ammunition, however it is acquired, across state lines. It is easy to get a gun, many guns, here, as it is everywhere in the United States.
It is time, long past time, that we take steps to change that. There will always be people who wish ill on others. There will always be those who, for whatever reason, have the urge to kill. We can and should do better at recognizing and treating mental illness, but we will never eliminate the desire of some people to inflict harm on others.
What we can curtail is the means to carry it out.
Gun rights advocates who vociferously oppose any reasonable measure to reduce the carnage that guns inflict on our society are forever saying that it is the person, not the gun, that kills. They say people can kill with knives, cars and baseball bats, so why not outlaw them, as well?
The answer is, guns are the only instruments that can cause tragedies of a magnitude we saw in Newtown on Friday, guns capable of firing many bullets, very quickly.
Gun advocates lean on the similarly tired argument that if we outlaw certain guns, only criminals will have them. But only when we make it illegal to manufacture certain weapons for private use will we ever rid them from our streets.
To those who say it's too soon after the tragedy to talk about gun control, answer this question: When will enough time have passed?
The White House press secretary Friday said, "Today is not the day" to discuss gun control. It never is. Doing nothing is not a solution.
We will never really know why such tragedies happen. But we do know how they happen. The circumstances change; the guns are constant. It is time that we stand up and say it is time for that to change.

Barwell confirms North talks
ESPN Staff
March 28, 2013
Northampton Saints are keen to bring in George North for next season © Getty Images
Northampton Saints chairman Leon Barwell has confirmed that the club are in talks with Wales and Scarlets' wing George North.
The Saints have been chasing the 20-year-old for a number of months and have tried to put themselves in a position to head off any mega-money offers from French clubs for a player who has been capped 31 times for Wales and who was a key component in their run to the World Cup semi-finals and 2012 Six Nations grand slam.
"It's a big decision for George and we don't want to put undue pressure on him," Barwell told The Northampton Chronicle and Echo. "He's got to make sure that when he makes the decision it's the right one for him as an individual on the basis he really wants to come to Northampton. We are giving him some time and space to do that."
If North does move to Franklin's Gardens, he will be the biggest arrival yet for a team that has been quick to sign up a number of new faces for next season. They have already brought in Samoa scrum-half Kahn Fotuali'i, England prop Alex Corbisiero and Australian front-rower Salesi Ma'afu, while former England and London Wasps fly-half Alex King will be their new backs' coach.
"We want to be the best team in the world and we want to compete with other clubs," centre George Pisi said. "So to be the best we've got to try and get the best players and see how they work out with those we have got at the moment."
Pisi and Fotuali'i are well acquainted having played together for Samoa for a number of years. They both started the 26-19 win over Wales at the Millennium Stadium in November and featured together at the 2011 World Cup.
It meant that the former Clermont Auvergne man needed little help in persuading his long-time team-mate to move to Franklin's Gardens.
"He asked me how it was over here and all I gave him was good comments about Northampton," Pisi said. "He enjoys the team and he's seen the environment and hopefully when he comes to Northampton he'll excel as he is at the moment.
"He'll bring a lot of experience and a lot of physicality. He's a really exciting player and it's a good thing for our team. He's kind of like me. He keeps a smile on his face all the time, he has good banter with the boys and he'll bring something to the team next year."

Change vi Defaults To Not Display Line Numbers When Editing Files On Linux
Recently I was contracted to do some work for a new client that had around 25 CentOS Linux and Ubuntu Linux servers. The client needed various system administration tasks completed such as updating the servers, modifying a couple scripts that performed automated tasks, and a couple other basic tasks. I typically use vi to modify scripts or text files on Linux servers so when I started to perform my tasks I started getting annoyed as the vi default configuration included the line numbers which makes it a pain to copy/paste from the files you are editing. You can obviously turn off the line number display by typing ":" followed by "set nonu" (both without the quotes) however that does get old. Use the information below to change the default vi configuration so line numbers no longer display by default.

text: 29 May 2014 15:00 Air Serbia, the national airline of Serbia, has announced significantly improved performance in the first three months of the year with a 66 per cent increase in total passenger numbers to 364,924, compared with the same period in 2013. The airline's passenger carrying capacity, which is measured by available seat kilometres (ASKs), has jumped 93 per cent resulting in a 47 per cent increase in revenue during the first quarter of 2014. Over the same quarter, Air Serbia inducted three Airbus aircraft – two A319s and one A320 - into its fleet. The increase in passenger numbers is being seen across the network, boosted by connectivity with the Etihad Airways global network. The Chief Executive Officer of Air Serbia, Mr Dane Kondić, said: "Air Serbia has built a solid foundation in the six months since it was launched and is on track to break-even in 2014. "The improved passenger numbers and revenue reflects the growing appeal of the airline for leisure and business travel across the Balkan region and beyond. "In addition to strong growth in passenger revenue, we are also growing very important cargo revenue, which provides more stability to the revenue base of the business." Cargo tonnage increased 46 per cent to 175 tons in the first three months compared with the same period last year, as the network expanded, reliability improved and the cargo capability has been marketed effectively to customers. Cargo comprises general cargo items, perishables, including exports of local Serbian cheese, as well as spare industrial parts and electronics. "The improved performance of Air Serbia shows our strategy to grow the business based on strong governance, a modern fleet, a growing and connected network, and a commitment to our guests to be the best, is working," Mr Kondić said. "Our focus is on providing value, convenience and comfort. We are listening to our guests about what they want and in doing so, we are steadily growing demand." In the first quarter, Air Serbia launched new routes to Sofia (Bulgaria) and Budapest (Hungary). These two routes bring the current Air Serbia network to 34 Euro-Mediterranean destinations serviced directly from its hub at Belgrade's Nikola Tesla International Airport. More destinations will be launched over the remainder of the year. Air Serbia has also negotiated a series of codeshare agreements, which are helping to build passenger numbers and revenue. Up to the end of March, Air Serbia has expanded codeshare agreements with Etihad Airways, airberlin, Tarom, Adria Airways and BH Airlines. The daily flights between Belgrade and Abu Dhabi, by both Air Serbia and Etihad Airways, are boosting demand for the Air Serbia network beyond Belgrade. In the first three months of 2014, Etihad Airways finalised new codeshare agreements on Air Serbia flights from Belgrade to: Amsterdam, Stockholm, Banja Luka, Milan, Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Berlin. Air Serbia has improved its selling and distribution capabilities by establishing commercial ticketing agreements with Etihad Regional, operated by Darwin Airline, Jet Airways, Bulgaria Air, Ukraine International Airlines and STA Travel, the world's largest travel company for students and young adults. Air Serbia also established commercial relationships with major global online travel agents, including Expedia and Last Minute. Mr Kondić said that the Government of Serbia and Etihad Airways were supportive shareholders and partners, who are contributing to the success of Air Serbia in different ways and together are powerful drivers for success. "The Government of Serbia is monitoring our progress closely and providing assistance and advice where needed and where appropriate. "I have no doubt that we will be the leading airline in the region and our success will have a very positive impact on Belgrade's Nikola Tesla Airport, as it aims to become the region's key air transport hub," Mr Kondić said.

Four ampoules of anti gas gangrene serum, Paris, France, 1934
Gas gangrene is an infection caused by bacteria in soil finding its way into wounds that have not been cleaned properly. As the flesh and tissue decay a foul smelling gas is given off. This ampoule of serum contains antibodies from an animal infected with the disease. Injected into a patient, this serum was used to prevent or cure the infection. Treatment today is usually by antibiotics, and surgery to remove the dead and infected tissue to prevent further spread of the bacteria. The infection was an especially feared complication of wounds in the First World War. Gangrene was often fatal before the introduction of antibiotics in the 1940s.

Blockchain-based Data Management, Analytics and ApplicationsZeit: Thu 29.3.2018, 10:15, 90 Minuten
Ort: JKU, Computer Science Building (Science Park 3) room S3 134
ZusammenfassungBlockchain technology has gained massive attention in the recent years with significant expectations that it could transform every industry for its promise of providing a single "source of truth" for participants in a business network. Nevertheless, according to Gartner's 2016 hype cycle for emerging technologies, blockchain is entering its peak of inflated expectations and in fact, its years to mainstream to adoption is still 5 to 10 years ahead before the technology reaches a plateau of productivity. Since most of the blockchain efforts nowadays are still in a nascent state, we believe the time is right for database researchers and practitioners to get more deeply involved. In this talk, we put forward four components that researchers interesting in blockchain data management and analytics could increase focus on: (1) leverage query and transaction processing capabilities of mature data stores, (2) integrate on and off-chain data, (3) enable analytics services on blockchain as well as off-chain data, and (4) protect information from leakage. Finally, we will discuss number of blockchain applications in banking, insurance, and supply chain areas

This is Kasha again, from Nonstop Fitness in Sandfly. I am going to show you three of my favorite core busting kettlebell exercises.
Side Plank with Lift
• Lay on your right side on the floor or a mat with the legs straight and stacked. The entire side of your ankle, calf, and thigh should be touching the floor.
• Bend the right elbow and place it directly under your shoulder. Align your head with your spine.
• Lift your hips and knees until your body weight is supported with your forearm and the side of your foot only.
• From here, lift the kettlebell off the floor with your left hand. Fully extend the bell and then return it to the floor.
• Do this 12 times and repeat on the opposite side.
Modification: This requires a lot of core strength. If you aren't quite at that point, bend your knees to a 90-degree angle.
Spider Slides
• Assume an elbow plank position with one kettlebell next to the outside of either arm.
• Use the opposite hand to pull it under your chest and through to the other side. Twist from the obliques as you move the kettlebell.
• Repeat back and forth 10 times.
• Assume a kneeling position with your abdominals engaged
• Flip the kettlebell up and hold it in front of you with both hands.
• Moving in one motion, orbit the bell over your shoulder, behind your head, and around to the other side for a full rotation, keeping both hands on the bell the entire time.
• Rotate the bell in one direction 10 times, repeat in the opposite direction 10 times.
Now that you have 3 new ways to use that kettlebell, remember that fitness is only one part of the health equation. At your next meal, use your non-dominant hand to eat. The lack of dexterity will force you to consume food more slowly, thus giving you a chance to realize more quickly when you are full, and a chance to eat less.
Happy workout!

Roger Garten drove the War Horse nitro Funny Car to victory in Sacramento, California, in 1975. Fast forward 35 years, almost to the day, and Roger returned to Sacramento in 2010 with co-owner Mike Tocco to debut the War Horse tribute car and won yet again. The team wasn't so fortunate this year at the famed March Meet at Auto Club Famoso Raceway, near Bakersfield, California. During a qualifying run, tire shake broke the plastic line from the trans to the air shifter, causing a downshift into Low gear. Carnage ensued. As you can see, the resulting over-rev led to a backfire that suddenly gave Roger a panoramic view of the grandstands. After jettisoning the body, Roger kept the car in his lane and pulled the chutes. "I knew there was a guy next to me, but I didn't know where," he says. Roger was fine, but the rods in the Brad Anderson block are scrap and so are the blower and the rearend housing.
Mike and Roger have ordered another body and already have a buyer interested in using the wrecked body to build a new Nostalgia Funny Car, but they are also considering keeping it as a spare. When the new body arrives, it will be finished in as close to the previous paint scheme as possible. The goal is to have the car up and running for the 42nd Annual Ignitor Opener event in Boise on May 4–6.
The photos here were captured by Dan Kaplan, brother of Barry Kaplan, who was a Jr. Fuel racer before becoming better known as a land-speed nitro tuner whose Kaplan-Carr Lakester was the first to run 300 mph at El Mirage Dry Lake. He was also a friend of HOT ROD's Gray Baskerville.
More March Meet Mayhem
Also during March Meet qualifications, veteran driver Denver Schutz was able to keep his nostalgia fuel dragster right side up after the tricky left lane struck again. Schutz crossed the centerline, picking off a couple of timing cones along the way, and pinned one timing cone to the front of his car for the rest of the ride back into the left lane. After slapping the wall, Schutz was given a check by the medical crew on site and then at the Kern County Medical Center before being released. —
And the Winners
The violent photos always get all the exposure, but what about the guys who put in the megabucks and super effort that it takes to win a race? Seen here is Jim Young, winner in Nostalgia Top Fuel, and Tim Boychuk, who won Nostalgia Funny Car but—as we learned at presstime—was disqualified after the final. A post-race tech inspection found his car's fuel pump "exceeded the maximum allowance for fuel delivery," according to the NHRA. Second-place Nostalgia Top Fuel finisher Rick White was also DQ'ed for a similar fuel pump violation.

Let's talk incentives with Gordon, Jennings
There has never been a winter like this, with so many qualified free agents waiting for jobs with spring training within arm's reach. So while Manny Ramirez awaits for an offer suitable for his talent, two veteran pitchers landed interesting deals.
The Diamondbacks added reliever Tom Gordon, who has 20-years service time in the big leagues. Gordon, who has been an effective closer when right, was given a guaranteed, one-year, $500,00 deal. Then it gets interesting and fruitful if his elbow's good. He receives the following for each day on the active roster: $100,000 for one day; $200,000 for 30 days; $200,000 for 45 days; $200,000 for 60 days; $200,000 for 75 days; $200,000 for 90 days; $200,000 for 120 days; $200,000 for 135 days; $200,000 for 150 days; $300,000 for 165 days and $300,000 for 180 days.
So Flash, stay well, get paid well.
As for Jason Jennings, he's trying to steer his career back on track after two lost seasons because of injuries. He was given a one-year, $800,000-minor league deal. He can make $1.45-million in incentives for innings pitched, starting at 110 and ending at 200. If not on the 40-man roster between April 1 and April 25m he can request his release. He will also receive $15,000 in termination pay of $15,000 if released before April 30.
The Mets avoided arbitration with pitcher Pedro Feliciano for $1.612 million. … Russ Springer received a one-year, $3.3-million deal with $300,000 in incentives for appearances.

It's a battle so titanic that only Tokyo, birthplace of giant mutated monsters, could possibly hope to contain it! This isn't about Street Fighter X Tekken anymore. It's all about Rufus X Bob.
Seriously, they could have just released Rufus X Bob and I would have gladly paid $60 for it. Just look at how much fun they're having in this Tokyo Game Show trailer!
Of course this is the Capcom side of the Street Fighter, Tekken crossover, so they'd release Rufus X Bob and then six months later announce Ultimate Rufus X Bob, featuring the rest of the characters and all of the Rufus and Bob costumes they already released as downloadable content.
And there would be no Mega Man.

Most folks would probably consider a tablet to be a mobile device with a screen that ranges from 7 to 12 inches or so. Not Microsoft VP Frank Shaw, who recently told Wired UK that CEO Steve Ballmer has a Windows 8 80-incher hanging on the wall of his office.
It's a whole lot more accurate to call something that size a touchscreen all-in-one, of course, but it illustrates one of the goals Microsoft has set out for Windows 8. They want it running on any size screen that any manufacturer can produce, and they want those screens to offer touch input. Shaw also mentions that every screen should be able to watch and not just be watched, which is a knowing wink at Kinect for PC.
Tabzilla, according to Shaw, has become Ballmer's go-to device. "It's his whiteboard," said Shaw. And it's also something that other executive types will be able to hang on their office walls. Microsoft will apparently sell the device as they do the Surface, and it's the same sort of beast: one that's not intended for purchase by the general public.
It's not Sharp who is working with Microsoft on the gargantuan touch PC as you might expect. Though the Japanese company showed off a similar 80-inch Aquos Board (pictured) at CES 2012, this one's being built by an as-yet-unnamed partner.
As for it not being able to users like you and me, Shaw figures it's only a matter of time before that changes. LG's already got a dual-core Smart TV on the way, so how long could it possibly take before someone decides to slap Windows RT on a big screen and sell it to consumers?

No deficiencies found in Willow River School audit
Scott Nordquist of the Althoff & Nordquist Certified Public Accountant firm presented the annual budget audit report review to the Willow River Board of Education December 11. There was a clean opinion by the firm the audit revealed no deficiencies of internal control over financial reporting.
Nordquist led a discussion about funds that were still receivable from the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and possible expectations of that funding flow. Nordquist's opinion was that cash flow from MDE will begin to improve, but the school should not depend on past receivables owed. Nordquist reported there would be no major budget cuts needed or sudden drops in revenue expected.
Nordquist stated, "Willow River has done a good job in their management of funds and the general funding balance is right where it needs to be."
Nordquist reported the Average Daily Membership (ADM) of students has shown an increase in the financial trend report. It has increased by six students from 2011-12 for a total of 486 students served. This includes both nonresident and district resident students.
Truth in Taxation
Business manager Jenny Nelson presented the Truth in Taxation information to the board. Nelson reported that at the end of the 2011-12 fiscal year, the district showed all positive fund balances.
The board approved the levy certification for 2012 payable in 2013. The debt service levy decreased $105,365. In February 2013, the district will pay off GO Bonds Series 1998A, thereby reducing the current debt level. The health and safety levy did increase $122,827, due mainly to a large project consisting of $71,560 for recommissioning of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Lastly, the re-employment insurance decreased $13,035 making the final levy certification payable in 2013 at $537,090.77.
The gymnasium scoreboards were discussed. The current main "mother" board has been shipped out to be fixed. It was expected to be back and reinstalled by Friday, December 14. They will then know if that was the only problem with the board.
The Hoops Club has offered to help jointly buy new scoreboards for the gymnasium by raising funds. After discussion, the board agreed to pay for two new standard scoreboards at approximately $12,000. The Hoops Club would be asked to raise approximately $3,000 for additional wings on one board that would allow additional scorekeeping needs and revenue from yearly business advertisement.
Other business
The board approved the purchase of a 2013 Dodge Caravan less two trade-ins. Approval was made for a contract with Jamar for a variable air valve (VAC) box replacement and a pipe/gauge replacement for the boiler.
The resolution amending the election results to include the absentee ballot count was approved.
April 1 was added to the school calendar to replace the day that was canceled. This brings the school back up to the minimum 1,020 hours mandated for a school year.
Superintendent Scott Anderson reported iPad use will require an adjustment of Internet services to facilitate the pads. Discussion of a guest network connection followed.
School board Chairman Roger Else was presented a plaque for his six years of service on the board. Else will not be returning in 2013.
The next scheduled regular meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. January 8, 2013.

DCB Bank FD Maturity Calculator
DCB Bank Fixed Deposit Calculator
DCB Bank, a leading Private Bank in India offers attractive interest rates upto 8.00% on its fixed deposits.
FD maturity amount that you will get depends upon
- Deposit amount
- Rate of interest
- FD tenure
- Compounding frequency
- TDS applicability and TDS rate
DCB Bank Fixed Deposit Interest Calculator
- In a periodic interest payout option, DCB Bank would transfer the interest earned at each interval (say, quarterly) to your bank account. The interest would remain the same across the life of the deposit. On maturity, unless the deposit is renewed, would transfer the principal amount to your bank account.
- In case you opt for a DCB Bank cumulative deposit, on maturity you would get a credit for the principal and interest earned net of TDS.
- Calculate the FD maturity amount using the FD calculator.
Tax on Fixed Deposit DCB
- In case the interest earned by you across all your fixed deposits across all branches of DCB Bank in a year exceeds 10,000, the bank must deduct TDS at 10.3%. In case your IT PAN is not updated in the DCB Bank records, it must deduct twice the TDS at 20.6%. So, do remember to update your PAN on your FD.
- Sorry, but we aren't done with tax yet. This was only the TDS. Now, you would need to add the interest income on all your DCB Bank FD's and other FD's to your taxable income for the year. Based upon your tax bracket, income tax is payable on this income. Remember that you must estimate the interest income and all your other incomes and, based on this, pay advance tax on advance tax payment dates (15th Sep, 15th Dec, 15th March and 31st March).
- DCB Bank will also issue you a Form 16A giving details of tax deducted on FD interest and tax deposited by it with government treasury. The TDS amount deposited by the bank with Income Tax Department can be verified in your 26AS statement available online on IT department website or through your net banking account. You can claim credit for the TDS amount in your annual Income Tax Return.

(MCT)—My dad warned me long ago about unrequited love.
It was more lament than warning, I suppose: "It's hard to love something that doesn't love you back," he says.
We were talking about my cat, who was evil. It was hard to love that cat, so I didn't. Problem solved.
My house is a different story. I fell fast and furious for this house and it has proven a needy, selfish partner since the day we met nine months ago.
First there was the soggy basement, which revealed itself to be not just leak-prone but also leak-damaged when we (and by "we," I mean contractors) started peeling back layers of old drywall and carpet to refinish the space.
There was the washing machine, which appeared to have laundered as many clothes as my grandmother did in her 93 years and was equally weary of the task. The only way to coax it through an entire spin cycle was to place a 25-pound dumbbell on its lid, and even that stopped working after the first six loads.
There was the busted furnace.
And the family of rats living in the garage.
There was the frozen pipe the day after Christmas, and the other frozen pipe during January's polar vortex—the pipe that grew bored of the whole exercise and burst at the seam.
There was—is, actually—the new water damage. So very much damage from that pipe that burst open and flooded our newly refinished basement. The drywall, the baseboards, the floors—all shot.
The dryer will quit next, I figure. We broke up a matching set when we replaced the weary washer, and the dryer has worked triple time since the flood, tackling every towel we own. (In addition to three children, boundless energy and eager hearts, we brought roughly six dozen towels each to our midlife marriage.)
Still, and through it all, I love this stupid house.
I love the way the transom windows in the kitchen reveal a beautiful tangle of branches from the emerald ash in our backyard. I love the welcoming window seat perched atop our living room radiator, and the winding, wooden staircase that leads to the tiny, cheerful bedrooms where my children nestle in for the night. I love waking up to the house in the morning and coming home to it in the evening.
This all had me feeling pretty dysfunctional. People go to therapy — heck, I go to therapy — to defend against this type of codependency.
Are you trying to rescue this house? Is this a relationship based on mutual respect and equal effort? Do you find yourself canceling plans with friends to pacify this house? Is it controlling you?
I was starting to worry about my misplaced, unrequited affections.
Then I came across a lovely thought from author Valerie Frankel, who wrote a New York Times essay about an expensive ring she purchased and fell in love with. She had other rings in her life: a diamond from her first husband, who died at age 34. An inexpensive pearl from her second husband, whose love was priceless.
Was it superficial, she wondered, to love this new object? Nah.
"Loving a thing is shallow," she wrote, "only if you don't deeply appreciate its emotional, as well as intrinsic, value."
The emotional value of this house is incalculable. Its walls hold my children's Cray-Pas self-portraits and its floors hold their handstands and Legos and scattered boots, scarves and backpacks.
We five — my husband and his son, my daughter, my son and I — became a family here. Each kid has blown out birthday candles here. We've decorated a Christmas tree here. We've made one another cry a few times and laugh a lot more times in this house. And that's where its value lies.
It is hard to love something that doesn't love you back. But it's not hard as in "tough to conjure the energy for." It's hard as in "heartbreaking and soul-sucking and confidence-sapping and really, really expensive." Which is probably what my dad meant all along.
So I'm going to forge ahead, open-hearted and willing to love this house and all of its problems and proclivities and parts.
Except the rats. Their days are numbered.

This way, new technologies and standards are being used in order to develop and provide new services to the customers. On the other hand, Aspect-Oriented Techniques provide support to encapsulate and modularize crosscutting concerns in our systems, which cannot be included normally in the logical code structure by functionality. Therefore, the loosely coupled environment provided for electronic services can be maintained and improved by using these techniques. Goals of the workshop: Accordingly, this workshop is intended to bring together e-services and aspect -oriented techniques approaches both from industry and academia. It is meant to provide an appropriate environment to discus about the benefits aspect-oriented techniques can provide in e -services systems and about problems and challenges that particularly arise during the practical combination of both fields. Topics: Research submissions on all topics related to applying aspect-oriented techniques on electronic services environments will be welcomed, including but not limited to those listed below: E-Services technology implementations and Aspect-Oriented Programming * Web Services * Grid Services * Service-Oriented Computing * Semantic Web * Security for E-Services * Middlewares for E-Services E-Services Application and Aspect Oriented Techniques * Mobile commerce * Business Processes Modeling * E-Learning * E-Goverment * Electronic Agreement and Contracts * Submission Instructions Submission: Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished research papers. Papers should be written in English and must not exceed 8 pages in the LNCS format. THE PAPER IN WORD OR PDF FORMAT CAN BE UPLOADED BY USING THE TOOL LOCATED AT http://www.dsi.uclm.es/openconf/author/submit.php, where the technical area radio button Aspect-Oriented Techniques to E-Service Environments has to be selected.

Willow River Mercantile holds tag sale
August 15, 2013
The old time door handle is the first clue that you are stepping back in time as you enter the Willow River Mercantile. The bell jingling as you enter the store is the second. The squeaky, worn, hardwood floors are the third.
That's just the beginning of the adventure.
Customers have trod those floors since 1901. The "Merc", as it is commonly known, has provided for every need for 112 years: groceries, hardware, household needs, and dry goods.
"I used to come here as a child with my parents," a woman said as she visited the store during this reporter's recent interview with the current owner, Bruce Bohaty. That phrase is repeated over and over, many times a day as former and local residents stop in just to see that things have not changed.
But changes are taking place. Bohaty is preparing for a huge tag sale to be held on Labor Day weekend, August 31 and September 1. The hours of the sale are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 31, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 1.
Steven Wesely of Crescent Auctioneering has been setting up for the sale. It will not be an auction. For the tag sale numbers will be issued an hour before the sale to limit the number of people in the store at one time. The numbers will be issued on a first-come, first -served basis. The crowds are expected to be huge for this very special sale.
Bohaty, 61, listed his reasons for changing the role of the Merc.
"The business was always steady," he said. "I could have kept going. It got to be just too many hours.
"We are not in the right location. We are a block off of Highway 61. The interstate is where the action is.
"The flood had nothing to do with our closing. The basements filled up in both the store and in the appliance store next door. A lot of good stuff was ruined. But that only resulted in getting those basements cleaned out."
Bohaty was quick to point out that he has no plans to retire.
"My dad never retired," he said. "I probably won't either. I have no plan at this point but this is part of the progression."
Ed Bohaty, Bruce's father purchased the store from Ed Halva in 1955. Halva had owned the store since 1901 along with several partners over the years.
The elder Bohaty came to work for Halva in 1946 after he got out of military service. However, the Bohaty tradition in Willow River goes back even further. Bruce's grandfather had been a barber next door.
Ed Bohaty had come to work at the store intending to work for a short time with the idea of going to the city. His plans changed when Ed Halva died suddenly in 1951.
"Dad bought the store then," said Bruce. "He officially owned it outright in 1955. It had been paid for."
Bruce had an older sister, Karen, and a younger sister, Kay. Both left home and moved away. Bruce's mother Gloria still lives in the family home in Willow River.
Ed Bohaty's brother, Jim came to work at the store after he was discharged after fighting in the Korean War. He worked alongside his brother until 1970 when he bought a store in Rush City.
Meanwhile, Bruce grew up and went on to attend college at UMD.
"I used to work here on evenings and weekends," said Bruce. "I completed college in 1974. Sandi (Cunningham) and I were married in 1975. I had planned to just work here for a little while. Like my dad, I never left."
Bruce described the philosophy of the Willow River Mercantile.
"If we don't have it, you don't need it," he said. "That's how it used to be.
People used to come into the store and hand over the list. The storekeeper went and got it for them. My dad was born to be a storekeeper.
"As time passed, things changed. Now there are too many choices for each product. "
Ed Bohaty's own philosophy was to never throw anything away, someone might need it someday explained Bruce. Now Bruce and Steve are cleaning out five warehouses.
"He didn't throw anything away," said Wesely. "This is not unsold inventory. It's new old stock. It's Ed's treasure chest."
"As I was going through things and saw how much there was,"said Bruce, "I hired Steven. I needed someone who would know how to price things. Many are considered antiques."
Those treasures reflect earlier times: an old slat-woven bassinet, wooden cheese boxes, radios from days gone by, enamelware and lamps to name a few of the items.
One of Wesely's favorite items is a large two-sided Allis-Chalmers sign that had been lighted with neon at one time.
"That's ultra, ultra rare," Wesley said. "A store like this has been gone for 30 years. Ninety percent of the items for sale fall into the category of antiques and collectibles."
For more information about the sale, watch for flyers with 84 photographs, and for an ad in the Evergreen.

When we was in Malaysia during our summer vacation,my mom realised Mishu loves bean sprout and fish cake .My mom tried to cooked bean sprout with fish cake every dinner when we was there.I know she only eat certain type of greens.She hates brussel sprout and broccoli.Since I know she love bean sprout,I tried to cook it as much as I can when we came back to States.I think the best way to cook fresh crunchy bean sprout is the wok must be hot and the flame must be high enough (wok hei) when the sprout was toss in.Do not over cooked this type of vegetable if you want to enjoy the best of the bean sprout!!
1-2 lbs fresh bean sprout,rinsed and removed the beans shells if any
5-6 cloves fresh garlic,peeled and sliced
1-2 red chili pepper,sliced
100gm minced meat (pork or any meat)
handful cut scallion or cilantro
1 tbsp seasalt
1 tsp chicken bouillon powder
4 tbsp oil
1:Heat large skillet with oil and garlic at high heat(best to use aluminium skillet not non stick pan).Fry until the garlic lightly brown,toss in minced meat and sliced red chili pepper,fry for 1-2 minutes.
2:Toss in bean sprout,seasalt and chicken bouillon powder,quickly toss all the ingredients well.Do not cook for more than 3 minutes.Check the seasoning before dish out.
3:Add in some cut scallion,dish out immediately.Serve warm.
