WILSONVILLE, Ore. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — February 23, 2010 — Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that Dongbu HiTek, a successful technology innovator, has adopted the Eldo® analog circuit simulator for cell library characterization flow. During their evaluation, the Eldo analog circuit simulator demonstrated superior performance and circuit convergence over Dongbu HiTek's existing SPICE engine. The net outcome from the adoption of the Eldo simulation is twofold: shortened overall library characterization time, and reduced reliance on a single, simulation engine methodology.
Prior to adopting the Eldo simulator, Dongbu HiTek had a single SPICE engine methodology that presented many risks of cell characterization error and suffered from slow performance and a bad convergence rate. In contrast, the Eldo simulator provides user-friendly and comprehensive functions for library cell characterizations. Dongbu HiTek was able to insert the Eldo simulator into their existing design and verification flow, thus removing the dependency on a single solution and reinforcing their competitiveness. The new library characterization flow with the Eldo simulator shortened time to market (TTM) by improving the convergence rate and reducing the characterization time.
"Eldo provides the high-accuracy and impressive runtimes required for library cell characterization," said Taek-Soo Kim, vice president, Dongbu HiTek. "After a thorough evaluation, Dongbu found that Eldo sped up the sign-off process of library characterization, and shortened the verification period, as Eldo provides an alternative methodology to existing SPICE engine."
"The Eldo evaluation with Dongbu HiTek showed very positive results for them, and we were able to meet all the criteria they defined to prove the value of the tool," said Robert Hum, vice president and general manager of the Mentor Graphics Deep Submicron Division. "We look forward to more engagements with Dongbu HiTek where our tools can be used to strengthen the competitive advantage they extend to their customers."

Jomini on the Nature of War – Part V – Lines of Operation
This post continues the series of "Jomini on the Nature of War." Part I: Introduction is available here, Part II: The Burgeoning Military Theorist here, Part III: The Founder of Modern Strategy here, and Part IV: The Basics here.
"Principles were guides to action, not infallible mathematical calculations. The specific application of principles would vary with the thousand changing physical and psychological factors that made war 'a great drama.' Genius would defeat the military pendant, just as talent and experience would outdo the bumbling novice. But the principles themselves, whose truth is demonstrated by all military experience, could not be ignored without peril and, when followed, had 'almost invariably' (Presque en tout temps) brought victory."[i]
Jomini's arguments for "immutable 'principle' of war" rested on the concept of "lines of operation" by which he meant…
- "where an armed force fights,
- for what objective, and
- in what force relative to the total available military power of the state."[ii]
He identified two types of lines of operation, those that are:
- Natural:
- rivers,
- mountains,
- seacoasts,
- oceans,
- deserts, and
- sheer distance through, over, and around which military operations must be conducted."[iii]
- Also included in this category are man-made, permanent structures that constrict the conduct of warfare including: fortifications, military bases, political boundaries and road networks.[iv]
- Concerned exclusively with strategic choice about:
- where to fight,
- to what purpose,
- in what force, etc.[v]

Soup is customarily served for breakfast in Vietnam. Phó, as it's known,
translates as "your own bowl," since it's one of the few meals where the
food is not passed around and shared. Phó are big bowls of steaming
noodle soup, with raw meat or seafood and any number of other
ingredients added at the last minute, like bean sprouts, cilantro, basil,
chili peppers, lime slices, and green onions, that all cook in the broth
while it's brought to the table. Phó can be spiced with fish sauce (nuoc
mam), chili-garlic sauce and hoisin sauce, which are served on the side
in small dishes.
Small soups, by contrast, are served as first courses, and generally
don't have noodles. They're served in small portions and are called Sup.
The famous Sup Mang Tay, or Crab and Asparagus Soup is in this category,
as well as Sup Nam Trang, a wonderfully complex soup of crab, shrimp,
and dried white fungus.
Finally, the class of soups known as Canh are generally served family
style, out of one big bowl, and are then often spooned into smaller
bowls at the table with rice. They are generally light, and can be served
as a first course to whet the appetite. These include Canh Sa Lach Soan
(Watercress-Shrimp Soup), Canh Chua Tom (Hot and Sour Shrimp and
Lemongrass Soup), and Canh Chua Ca (Hot and Sour Tamarind Fish Soup).
While staying at Six Senses in Ninh Van Bay, I enjoyed Bun Rieu Cua, a
Vietnamese Crab Meat and Noodle Soup, for breakfast one morning.
It's wonderfully flavourful and could also be served for lunch or dinner,
as a main or soup course. One garnish that I noticed was served
with many Vietnamese dishes, was Fried Shallots. They are sprinkled
overtop soups, Pho, noodle dishes and even inside fresh spring rolls,
and add a mild crunchy texture to otherwise mild flavoured dishes, as
well as adding a decorative flourish to any presentation.
Vietnamese Crab Meat and Noodle Soup (Bun Rieu Cua)
Serves 5
2 tbsp dried shrimp, soaked in warm water
1 packet of vermicelli noodles (bun)
12 cups chicken stock
1/4 lb of ground pork
1 cup of crab meat, fresh or canned, drained
14 oz can of crab meat paste in spices (Lee Brand or other)
1 tbsp finely chopped shallots
14 oz can of crab meat paste in spices (Lee Brand or other)
1 tbsp finely chopped shallots
1/2 tsp fine shrimp paste
1/2 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tbsp of sugar
4 large eggs, beaten
16 small grape tomatoes, halved
2 cups medium sized fried tofu, cut into 1" pieces
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 large eggs, beaten
16 small grape tomatoes, halved
2 cups medium sized fried tofu, cut into 1" pieces
2 tbsp tomato paste
chopped green onion, sliced on a diagonal
cilantro and mint sprigs
lime wedges
bean sprouts
crispy fried shallots (see below)
bean sprouts
crispy fried shallots (see below)
Soak dried shrimps in warm water until softened, about 1 hour. Then finely mince in a small food processor and set aside.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to packet instructions, and set aside. Add chicken stock to a large pot and bring to a boil.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to packet instructions, and set aside. Add chicken stock to a large pot and bring to a boil.
In the meantime, make the crab mixture. Combine ground pork, fresh canned crab, crab meat paste in spices, shallots, fine shrimp paste, fish sauce, coarsely chopped dried shrimps, pepper, and sugar. Add the beaten eggs and mix well. When the stock comes to a boil, slowly add this crab mixture into the stock. Then add the tomatoes and tofu and bring to boil again. Finally, season stock with additional salt or fish sauce. Mix in tomato paste for a nice distinctive reddish coloured broth. This is the Bun Rieu.
Add vermicilli noodles to individual serving bowls and ladle on the Bun Rieu. Serve alongside a platter of mixed garnishes: chopped green onion, cilantro, mint, lime and bean sprouts.
Crispy Fried Shallots
4 tbsp vegetable oil
6 shallots, thinly sliced
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat and stir-fry the shallots for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Store immediately in an airtight container to keep crisp.
Desserts in Vietnam usually follow one of two directions: french-inspired sweets such as creme brulé, bananas flambé, rice or tapioca pudding; or an assortment of fresh local fruit, such as passion fruit, jack fruit, papaya or watermelon, as pictured above. Light and refreshing, a mixed platter of exotic fruits offer guests an opportunity to sample a little taste of Vietnam's seasonal bounty. One note on the passionfruit: it can be a bit sour, but if you add a teaspoon of simple syrup overtop, it makes a very tasty and dramatic presentation.

Indonesian forests got some love and some money this week.
The money came in the form of a 4 billion USD fund contributed to by seven wealthy countries - US, UK, Norway, Germany, Australia, Japan and France - to be used for forest protection globally as part of REDD (reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and degradation). A program where developed countries provide funds to help developing ones protect their forests. (Deforestation contributes up to a fifth of global carbon emissions - so this money doesn't just protect trees it protects our climate too!) In addition to the global fund, Indonesia will also receive 1 billion directly from Norway.
The love was an announcement by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono of a two year ban on handing over new pieces of Indonesian forest and carbon-rich peatlands to companies for logging and deforestation.
This two year ban was a requirement of the money put forward by Norway - but it does not include the millions of hectares of forests already on the chopping block.
Real love would be an official decree by the Indonesian President making the ban effective immediately (not months from now) and also extending it to cover all of Indonesia's rainforests and peatlands - including those areas already owned by companies like Sinar Mas and in imminent danger of being deforested and degraded, like this:
Now that Indonesian forests are starting to see the money - will the President show them some real love?
Following on the success of the Kit Kat campaign in convincing Nestlé to give Indonesia's rainforests and peatlands a break - it would be amazing for the President to announce a complete ban on the decimation of these areas immediately.Let's put the question out there. Will the Indonesian President declare true love for rainforests and carbon-rich peatlands by banning deforestation and degradation completely?Tweet the question.Or ask it on Facebook.

What We Do
Relief & Development
Safe Harbor exists to serve the Body of Christ worldwide in proclaiming Jesus Christ and ministering to the practical needs of those living in spiritual darkness, despair, and poverty. Since 1994, we have responded to disasters and crises across Africa, Asia, and the Americas through a variety of avenues including:
El Salvador Outreach 2015-present
Alongside Lupita's Hope, Safe Harbor has also identified a soon-to-be launched program that will help meet the educational and spiritual needs of the youth living in these rural communities. For the young girls, the program's objective is to develop their education, physical well-being, and spiritual discipleship. For the young boys, Safe Harbor is focusing on establishing a "leadership" program that will mentor them in the challenging pursuit of becoming Godly men. The entirety of this ministry is founded on the irrevocable truths of scripture that Christ has uniquely made and purposed each one of their lives for His glory and to bring hope, empowerment and growth through the knowledge of Him as their Savior.
Join Safe Harbor this May as a team sets out to continue working alongside both ministries and prepares to launch the youth program! If this is an outreach you feel called to be a part of, please contact our Operations Outreach Director, Alex, at email@example.com.
Literacy Program- Kenya (2012 - present)
This program fulfills a need for literacy training and continuing education in the impoverished community as many of the adult students come from areas facing social and economic challenges.
Each semester, Winifred shares student's testimonies of how their lives are impacted by the program and above all, the Gospel.
Long-term Community TransformationBy God's grace and through His provision alone, Safe Harbor has been used to transform communities from crisis situations that were seemingly hopeless to thriving communities that have been changed by the gospel of Jesus Christ and the service of His people.
Listed below are countries where Safe Harbor has stayed and responded to crisis for a period of more than 5 years.
Project Midigo, Uganda (1998-2011)Safe Harbor International has been active in North West Uganda since the mid-90's, when the migration of Southern Sudan refugees resulted in a cholera outbreak. Beginning with a doctor and a nurse, we have seen a growing church, health care program, school, and agricultural project develop. Calvary Chapel Midigo has since become an independent NGO in Uganda, and is taking on the responsibility to fund and implement the ministry, education, and health programs. We are grateful to the Lord for the fruitful years of ministry and for contribution of many, many partners. God has truly performed this wonderful work.
Vibrant church plant- over 200 members committed to growing in the truth of the gospel. This growth led to two more church plants and is now considered a ministry hub for training, discipleship, and sending. These churches now operate as independent Calvary Chapels.
Clinic health services- expanded into a fully operational hospital focusing on women, children and other vulnerable persons, serving nearly 30,000 patients per year. We specialized in maternal and infant care, HIV / AIDS, mobile medical care to remote areas, and surgical operations.
Education program- offering high quality, Christian academics to over 100 Primary school students in 2011 from nearby church, non-Christian, and Sudanese families. Calvary School doubled in enrollment in one year, and is working towards expanding educational services through secondary school. The school has since become independent under the guidance of Calvary Chapel Midigo.
Agricultural project- contributing to Project Midigo's local sustainability while providing jobs, training, services, and further outreach to the local communities. The community gave us 117 acres for this project.
· Church development
· Medical care, health education, and hospital development
· Education

Nyinbuli, Sudan (2003-2009)Nyinbuli is an extremely remote village located in South Sudan. Safe Harbor arrived in 2003 and began it's "Operation Restore Life" project by bringing food to 22,000 local people suffering from extreme starvation and disease. At this time, the villagers of Nyinbuli were also tortured and killed by soldiers passing through. God allowed Safe Harbor to minister to these people for more than five years:
· Tens of thousands of metric tons of food were delivered to the people
· Seeds were provided for crops
· Wells were established (before Safe Harbor arrived, there was only one operating well)
· Missionaries accepted the call to live among the people there
· SHI built a medical clinic
Tonj, Sudan (1998-2008)In 1998, the brutal civil war in South Sudan resulted in a devastating famine. Safe Harbor traveled to Tonj to respond not only with food and medical aid, but also with the good news of Jesus Christ. The Lord allowed Safe Harbor to serve the people of Tonj for nearly a decade by:
· Supplying 300 tons of food and seeds to the people
· Missionaries were planted to carry on the ministry
· A medical clinic, Bible school and pastoral training center were established

Timing is everything, as the Springside softball team learned on a jaunt down to Penn Charter last Friday afternoon. The Lions' batters made contact with the ball, but not always at the most important points in the game, and the result was a total of 10 runners left on base and an 8-4 loss to the host Quakers.
Playing solid defense and making the most of its opportunities on offense, Charter improved to 6-2 overall, while Springside slipped to 6-3. Midway through the fourth inning the teams were tied at 2-2, but PC went ahead for good in the bottom half with a three-run surge. Charter scored three more times its next time up, while Springside's last two runs came in the fifth and the sixth frame.
Springside coach Stephanie Mill said that the Lions normally don't strand many baserunners, but they struggled in that aspect of the game against both PC and league leader Agnes Irwin, who beat them 8-5 on April 21.
At Irwin, she related, "We left a runner at third in five out of seven innings, so there were some similarities in that game and today's game versus all the rest. We got the ball on the bat better today than at Agnes Irwin, but we lost some momentum when we weren't able to produce with runners on."
Each team entered Friday's fray with a Girls Inter-Ac record of 3-1;
Springside losing to Irwin and the Quakers going down to the Academy of Notre Dame. Another similarity involved the sophomore pitchers for the two teams, who each gave up three bases on balls during the afternoon. The winning hurler, PC's Jess Drossner, fanned three opposing batters, while the Lions' Michelle Cybularz did not collect any strike outs. Charter made two errors to Springside's one, but outhit the Lions 8-6.
"Jess has come so far in a year," noted PC skipper Donald "Doc" Mittica. "She's poised, she throws strikes, and she stays out of trouble."
Completing the Quakers' youthful battery is freshman catcher Christina Kubach.
"She never caught before in her life, and she's developing into a really nice catcher," Mittica said. "She caught a good game today, very solid."
Mittica, a chiropractor from Lafayette Hill, helped found the Penn Charter softball program and is now in his 20th season as coach. He's piloted the team to five league championships, and in mid-April he registered his 250th career victory with the ballclub.
After Springside left two runners on base in each of its first two turns at bat last Friday, PC got on the board in the bottom of the second, despite some good defensive plays by the Lions. Quakers senior Katie Brock hit the ball high in the air to left center and wound up on second base, then Springside senior third baseman Brenna Coll made an impressive dive to grab a low foul pop on the next play.
Brock scored when sophomore Molly Mornhinweg whacked a single right across second base. Springside quickly ended the inning when Cybularz snagged a ball hit back at her by Drossner and then doubled up Mornhinweg at first base.
The home half of the third inning also began with a double, this one hit deep to left field by tenth-grader Carly Zurcher. Another sophomore, Rachael Garnick, was tagged out when she hit a grounder down the line to Springside junior first baseman Resnya Hughes, but Zurcher moved to third base and later scored on a single smashed between third and short by junior Danielle Sienko.
The visitors posted their first two runs at the top of the fourth inning, tying the game. With one out, a Charter throwing error got Springside senior Asha Deane safely to first base. The Lions then loaded the bags as junior Michelle Boggs drew a walk and Hughes hit a ball that glanced off Drossner in the pitcher's circle.
Following a strike-out for the second out, the Quakers tried for a force- out at second on a grounder put in play by Cybularz, but PC couldn't make the play. Dean scored and then Boggs slid into the plate as the throw home was a little off the mark.
PC came right back with three runs in the bottom half. Leading off, senior Mackenzie Kramer was hit by a pitch, then went to second when Brock waited out a walk. After a fly-out to center, Mornhinweg chipped a hit over short to load the bases, then on a wild pitch one run scored and the other runners went to second and third. A single to left by Drossner brought in another run, and a sacrifice grounder by Zurcher made it 5-2.
Throughout the contest, the Quakers ran aggressively on the basepaths, picking up a number of extra bases in the process.
"That was one of our goals from the beginning of the year," PC's Mittica explained. "It's not just being more aggressive, it's being more decisive. Make a decision, and do it!"
Lions mentor Mill admitted, "It was gutsy on their part and unfortunately they were able to catch us a little bit asleep a few times."
Springside got one run back in the top of the fifth, when junior Alexis Giovinazzo tripled near the line in right field and then came home on a sacrifice fly by Coll.
PC's Zurcher had just moved out to right field from first base. It was part of a three-way move that shifted junior Emily Kurtz from right field to center, and brought Brock in from center to play first.
"Carly was getting so nervous at first base I figured, let's do it," Mittica said. "We have two other good outfielders so let's put Carly in right. Katie Brock is a senior, she's got a great arm, and she'll make the plays. It made a difference today, having a more mature infield, and Carly said that she felt more relaxed playing out in right."
Springside was only down by two, 5-3, going into the bottom of the fifth, and the Lions secured outs against the first two PC batters. A Quakers rally began with a hit to right center by Kubach, who reached second as the visitors were slow to get the ball in from the outfield. Kubach went to third on a wild pitch, then Kramer walked on base and stole second.
Another pitch that got away from Lions junior catcher Aly Markey scored a run and got Kramer to third base. Brock drew a walk and stole second, helping set the stage for a two-run single that Kurtz slapped between short and second base. The Lions finally retired the side on a ground-out, but Charter's lead had grown to five runs, 8-3.
Springside put together a more modest two-out rally in the top of the sixth, beginning with a triple down the right field line by Cybularz. Freshman Jenna Moriarty walked to first, then Giovinazzo connected on a ball that caromed off Drossner and was bobbled by another infielder, putting the final run of the game in the book. PC's Kramer grabbed a ground ball and completed a force-out at third for the last out.
In their final turn at bat, the Lions got Deane to first on an error with one out, but two put-outs by Sienko, the Charter shortstop, wrapped up the contest.
While Penn Charter relies on young players in a number of positions, there is solid leadership from Brock, Kramer, and a third senior, pitcher Kate Faigen. Brock is bound for Duke University, while Faigen will attend Kenyon College and Kramer will be playing for Muhlenberg.
"My line-up is pretty deep; everybody hits," Mittica summed up after Friday's win. "I tell the girls, if we play defense, we'll win."
Springside can take some comfort in the fact that all of its league outings so far have been road games.
"We have both games left with Notre Dame," Mill said, "and we'll get all of the other teams on our field the second time around."

LSU-Auburn set for night telecast
By SCOTT RABALAIS
Advocate sportswriter
Published: Oct 9, 2007
For the third time this season, an LSU home game will start after 7 p.m.
ESPN announced Monday it will televise the Oct. 20 Auburn game, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. — or later.
LSU kicked off at 7:28 p.m. Saturday against Florida on CBS and at 8:22 p.m. in its Sept. 8 home opener with Virginia Tech on ESPN.
This will be LSU's seventh network TV appearance so far this season, with the Nov. 23 Arkansas game also set for 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
LSU's game at Kentucky on Saturday is on CBS at 2:30 p.m.
LSU-Florida tops ratings
LSU's 28-24 victory over Florida on Saturday night drew the highest rating of any college football game this season on any network, according to CBS.
The game had a 5.7 rating and an 11 share. That's a 39 percent increase over the CBS prime-time game last year — Florida at Tennessee (4.1 rating, 8.0 share) and a 78 percent increase over last year's CBS day game between LSU and Florida (3.2, 7.0).
"The atmosphere at Tiger Stadium Saturday night was electric and helped transform Florida-LSU from an important SEC football game into a prime-time drama with all the associated plot twists and turns," said Craig Silver, CBS Sports coordinating producer for college football. "It was a night for the ages."
This was the first CBS prime-time game at LSU and first prime-time telecast from Tiger Stadium on an over-the-air network since 1981.
Hester's honors
Senior running back Jacob Hester was named Southeastern Conference and Louisiana Sports Writers Association offensive player of the week Monday. Hester had a career-high 106 yards on 23 carries against Florida, including the game-winning 2-yard touchdown run with 1:09 left. Twice on LSU's final drive he converted fourth downs.
Hester then lay in the end zone for several moments. He wasn't hurt — he was faking.
Hester didn't want to waste a timeout for coaches to have find his backup, Richard Dickson, for the extra-point team. Dickson did eventually come in for the PAT. "I had to think of something real quick," he said, so he grabbed his knee.
LSU coach Les Miles came out to check on Hester, who told his coach what he did. "He just started laughing and said, 'Heckuva play, big boy,' " Hester said.
Hester, by the way, used to be a bigger boy. In high school, the 6-foot Hester bulked up to 250 pounds to play defensive end and noseguard as a freshman and sophomore before slimming back down. He's listed at 228 pounds now.
Flynn no sitting duck
Quarterback Matt Flynn delivered two of the biggest runs against Florida. He scampered 8 yards on a fake field goal and 15 yards on third-and-16 to put LSU in position to convert one of its five fourth downs.
Those were the two longest running plays for Flynn since the season opener and his four carries for 30 yards were his best production on the ground since that game as well.
Flynn suffered a high ankle sprain against Virginia Tech and has been hesitant to run since.
"It was good to go out and do that," Flynn said. "I felt like I could, but I really hadn't worked on sprinting. It felt good. It shows other teams I'm not just a sitting duck anymore."
The last word
"That's the loudest game I've ever played in. It was bananas — you can put that in bold. Our fans do a great job getting into the other team's head, making it hard for them to hear their calls and checks."
-- Defensive end Kirston Pittman

Re: LSU-Auburn set for night telecast
I don't care if the game started at 10:00 PM, I'm would still watch the game even if I had to go to work at 5:00 AM.
LSU better not take Kentucky lightly this Saturday because the Wildcats are a pretty good football team and would love to upset the #1 team, but the Tigers will be ready, I just hope we don't see to many trick plays because I think sooner than later they have to pay the price due to the trick going bad.

Story highlights
- Chavez speaks to the nation from presidential palace
- Chavez has spent 38 days in Cuba in 2012
- He had been in the island nation since Sunday, undergoing cancer treatment
- His return to Venezuela comes as the country marks the anniversary of a coup
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez returned home late Wednesday night from his latest round of cancer treatment in Cuba and told the nation he was "advancing with great faith" in his battle.
"Arriving from Havana after completing another round of radiation treatments, here we go in a battle," the ailing leader said in an address from the Miraflores presidential palace, "advancing with great faith, recovering and recovering."
Earlier, Chavez greeted well-wishers at Simon Bolivar International Airport outside Caracas, waving, shaking hands and kissing some on the cheek before he was whisked away to the palace, where he met with several of his ministers.
Unlike his previous arrivals from Cuba, Chavez didn't spend time on the tarmac answering questions at length.
His return to Venezuela comes as the country marks the anniversary of a 2002 coup that briefly removed Chavez from power. The state-run AVN news agency reported that he was expected to take part in events commemorating the failed coup.
"The empire and its bourgeois lackeys thought they were overthrowing us. I said to them: This is not a disarmed revolution," a Twitter post on the president's official account said.
Doctors in Cuba have operated on Chavez twice to remove cancerous tumors, he has said.
The 57-year-old president has not specified the type of cancer he is battling, and the government has released few specifics -- fueling widespread speculation about his health and political future.
Since the beginning of the year, Chavez has spent 38 days in Havana.
Speaking at a Mass in his home state of Barinas last week, he teared up at times as he discussed his struggle with illness.
"Christ ... give me life, because I still have things to do for the people and this country. Do not take me yet," he said.
Chavez described cancer as "a true threat that marks the end of the path for many people. The end of the physical path, that's the truth."
But Chavez said that he was recovering, adding that he had "much faith, much hope, much willpower to defeat this threat, as many people have, with the help of God and medical science."
The outspoken, flamboyant socialist leader has led Venezuela since 1999 and has pledged to run for re-election in October.

Juergen Tautz from the University of Wuerzburg will receive a special discretionary prize, as part of the 2008 EMBO Award for Communication in the Life Sciences. The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) awards the prize annually to a practicing scientist in Europe for outstanding communication with the public. The additional award was made in recognition of Tautz's long-term public communication activity on a single organism using all available media.
Juergen Tautz is a world-leading zoologist with a particular interest in exploring the life and evolution of honeybees. He considers them an optimal model system to investigate the inner structure and functioning of highly complex systems exhibiting "intelligent" behaviour. Honeybees are currently under threat of extinction and illustrate the dangers of global warming to animals and humans.
As a science communicator, Tautz targets teachers, high-school and university students as well as broader public audiences with considerable success. His 2007 published book Phaenomen Honigbiene (The Buzz about Bees Biology of a Superorganism) has been published in almost all European languages, last year also Arabic, Chinese and Korean versions joined the list. His three-minute trailer about the life of honeybees preceding the Dreamworks blockbuster Bee Movie was shown at about 10,000 screenings in more than 80 theatres throughout Germany. "The honeybee is the perfect lever especially to reach the youth," commented Juergen Tautz.
In addition to his book, the award winner gives frequent interviews and is the founder and head of an association promoting research on honeybees and raising funds for communication activities (more information at www.beegroup.de). The numerous lectures he gives to lay audiences in museums, schools and universities form another important part of his persistent com-munication and educational work.
Tautz also pursues an active research programme in his capacity as professor and head of the BEEgroup at the Biocenter of the University of Wuerzburg. He has published 140 scientific articles and given more than 400 lectures at universities worldwide. His research focus is honeybee biology and specifically the principles of disease resistance.
Juergen Tautz will receive the discretionary prize of 2,500 euro at the 7th Annual ELSO Meeting in Nice, France, on 1 September 2008.

The Houston Dynamo suffered a 1-0 defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday in their second game of the Disney Pro Soccer Classic at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. A first half penalty kick from Sebastien Le Toux was the difference as the Dynamo lost for just the second time this preseason.
With Sunday's game coming less than 48 hours after Friday's 0-0 draw with Sporting KC, Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear's lineup included ten changes, with trialist Warren Creavalle the only holdover from Friday's starters.
In the 14th minute, Whitecaps forward Long Tan was taken down in the box by Creavalle for a penalty kick. Le Toux, acquired by Vancouver from Philadelphia Union in January, slotted home the penalty kick for the early lead.
Two minutes later, Houston had its best chance of the first half to equalize. Josue Soto curled in a corner kick to a dangerous area in the center of the penalty area, where Andre Hainault met the cross for a strong header, which sailed just over the cross bar.
In the 25th minute, Houston was awarded a free kick inside the Vancouver penalty area after goalkeeper Brad Knighton illegally handled a back pass from defender Jordan Harvey. The ensuing free kick by Soto was blocked by the Vancouver wall.
Three minutes later, Le Toux broke away down the right flank and found Tan alone behind the Dynamo defense. Dynamo goalkeeper Tyler Deric took down Tan and the referee immediately pointed to the penalty spot. Tan, who has drawn three penalty kicks in two matches, attempted to chip his spot kick down the middle of the goal but Deric held his ground for the easy save.
In the 37th minute, midfielder Eder Arreola found defender Oscar Recio charging to goal at the top of the box. Recio's touch lofted into the air long enough for Knighton to have to punch the ball away before colliding with Recio.
Moments later, another free kick from Soto was headed towards the far post by Colin Rolfe, but it missed the target as the Dynamo continued to search for the tying goal.
In the 69th minute, Hainault served in a quality cross from the left side. Cam Weaver settled the ball and ripped a shot from 15 yards that missed the target.
Second half substitutions from Kinnear nearly paid off in the 80th minute when Brad Davis sent a patented cross into the box for Brian Ching. Ching skied for the ball but his header went just over the crossbar.
Houston's final chance to equalize came in the 90th minute. Ching received a ball at the top of the penalty area and laid it off for Nathan Sturgis, who fired a low shot from 20 yards that narrowly missed the far post.
After two games, the Dynamo sit in a three-way tie for second place in their group with Sporting KC and Montreal Impact. Houston will take on Montreal Wednesday at 7 p.m. CT in the final group stage match.

You know, you always have to approach the breathless excitement about an iconic dish with some skepticism. Whether it�s a Hot Brown sandwich or a Philly Cheese Steak, nostalgia and pride of place usually weigh heavily in the fierce loyalties of the dish�s supporters.
So, the other night, when I spied the French Canadian favorite � poutine � on a Charlotte menu, I knew two things: A. I finally had to try it, and B. I might be disappointed, but at only around $7, that wasn�t much of a risk.
We had just come from watching the Charlotte Roller Girls bout � a guilty pleasure if ever there is one. I figured why not continue the theme and order what is known as a heart attack in a dish. To guild that guilty lily, I added a pile of braised short ribs to the top of the jumble.
Poutine (pronounced pou-tin, like Vladimir�s last name) looks simple on paper. A pile of fries, topped with cheese curds, then covered in hot beef gravy. Apparently, poutine is available in fast-food joints all over Canada these days. But it just started catching on around here last year.
All I can say is � it�s about time. Whoa! Like all the best dishes, the basic ingredients melted and melded into an astonishing concoction that fired my tasting synapses left and right.
I would not recommend you eat poutine often. It is the stuff of college days, when high metabolisms and activity levels are needed to counteract its decadence. That said, I will have it again, at least three more times this year. I will mark it on my calendar. And I will make it at home.
You can get cheese curds around here, now. Time Flies, the general store in Mount Holly, carries Ashe County curds. Trader Joe�s also has them. Don�t substitute regular cheese. You need the squeaky firmness of the curds to make this dish at its best.
By all means, use frozen French fries � the thin type, not those doughy sawed-tooth things. But you absolutely have to deep fry them. Why try to cut calories on this dish?
And yes, in a pinch, canned beef gravy will do. But it�s simple to make your own, and since you use so much of it, shouldn�t it be fresh?
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup vegetable oil
4 Tbs. butter
1/4 cup flour
1 shallot, minced
1 garlic clove, minced
4 cups beef stock
2 Tbs. ketchup
1 Tbs. vinegar
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 cups frozen French fries of your choice
8 oz. cheese curds, at room temperature
Heat the shortening and oil to 375 degrees in a large, heavy-bottomed pan.
While the oil is heating, make the gravy.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and cook and stir another 2 minutes, until shallot is softened. Add the stock, ketchup and vinegar. Bring to boil and stir until gravy thickens, about 6 minutes. (You want the gravy to be rather thick.) Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Cover and keep warm over low heat while you cook the fries.
Cook the fries according to package directions. Drain briefly on paper towels, then transfer them to four bowls. Top with cheese curds, then pour hot gravy over the dish. Serve immediately.

Inquiring about your ROHO cushion in the car. How has it worked out for you thus far? I've been dealing with a shear injury to the tailbone (now healed, but into a sensitive scar I'm worried about) and I'd like to take some precaution in the car.
cool thanks i will look into that.
cheers, Peter
hey lurch, i got in contact with the paravilla, and they were able to find room for me for the next 6-12 months until i get back on my feet. Mackay is pretty good except for the crazy prices for units and houses here, i don't think i will be staying here long term. I am still thinking about brissy with the gym there and wheelchair rugby i think it will be good for me to build my strength up and improve my pushing and transfering. I was just wondering if you can give me a few pointers on where in brissy is a good area to look at, i have only been to brissy once and that was mostly in the pa. I remember the trains use to be real good there to get around, but some of the paths use to be crap. But if you could point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it.
Thanks Peter
Hey Lurch, yeah i was talking about rocky to mackay. I was seeing at staying at the paravilla next month, but i'm looking at getting a new cushion and chair and i just found a place here where i can trial them. So i'm going to be here for awhile until i can sort that out. How do you like staying at mackay? I see that the rent and house prices there are pretty expensive.
Man, was I surprised to see a thread titled "Leonard Cohen". When he comes back to the United States I'd love to see him perform again. I've been a fan for a long time and have a LOT of his material.
Did he take a brief intermission and come back out alone performing Avalanche? I think it's classy the way he gives his band and singers credit. He introduces them to the crowd often in concerts.
Thanks for posting.
Hi Lurch! When I play out, my pedal board sits on a small table, near my right hip. I just hit the pedal with a quick swing motion with my arm, taking care not to shake the pick loose. At first we tried setting the pedals up in front of the singer. He had ques to follow. This was a disaster. He either missed his ques, or forgot completely. That's when I decide to bring the board up to arms reach. I've been doing it this way for about 20 years. At home the board sits on the floor, and I use a reacher stick to click on the pedals. That's about it. I highly recommend a pedal board. It keeps all the boxes in line, and power can be turned on/off with one switch.
Thanks for asking. Any other question, feel free to ask.
Hey mate, my names Brock. i have severa lfriend in OZ, hope you become another.
Merry Xmas

If it exists, there is a porn of it. Steins; Gate exists as an Xbox 360 game and an anime, which means, yep, there is a dirty version of it. This is it.
The flick is called Layers; Gate, and it has naked people in it, bumping uglies. Sister site Kotaku Japan posted a comparison between Layers;Gate and the opening for the Steins;Gate anime.
The comparison originally appeared on Japanese video site NicoNico Douga.
"Layer" is Japanese slang for "cosplayer", though what you originally thought it meant would also be appropriate for this movie.

If the question would be what kind media I prefer, the answer would be:
I prefer the media in which the image (feeling) of the place (space) would be explained the best.
Each place has its own image. Each image demands special media. The role of author is just to figure it out. Then the viewers could have the possibility of listening to the music of their spirit in real space.
Human -- being desires attention to his soul.
If the question is: " What are you interested in?"
The answer would be
--- The humans' feelings are the object of my interest or more exactly: the shape (the lines, the forms, and the color's relation) which explains the human - being feelings, is the object of my interest.
Rich variety of feelings distinguishes Human -- being from animals and makes them able to feel compassion for another person's pain and keeps the human society for the future.

* Richard Dawkins on P391 of his excellent book The Greatest Show on Earth stated it succinctly and I quote. "If there is ever a time of plenty, this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored." One would hope that humans who, at least individually, show a modicum of foresight might learn to show collective foresight.
Malthus didn't count on various technical advances we would make in food production ever since we left the hunter gatherer life style but was completely correct. Each increase in food production has been used up by population increase. The recent, much vaunted green revolution which started around the 1960's was the latest of such jumps in food production and gave India and some other countries, a few decades without starvation. A recent estimate is that there are now 700m more people on earth due to this latest green revolution.
So with a few delays, Malthus has proven to be completely correct.
Note (Sept 2019) In his excellent recent set of programs, David Attenborough states, as the film shows the earth rising over the horizon of the moon, that since we landed on the moon 50 years ago, the world population has more than doubled.
What he didn't know is how our knowledge of contraception would advance. It has often been observed that when populations reach a fairly high level of economic well being, birth rate falls. Everyone is mystified by this and explains that women are delaying having babies as they pursue a career; people are not having any children so that they can enjoy the fruits of their labor and so forth.
No argument there but how do you think they are avoiding having children. Abstinence??? I don't think so!! Abstinence went out of fashion more than half a century ago. One of the reasons for not having children (not often stated) is so you can enjoy non-abstinence uninterrupted. The simple fact of the matter is that with a certain level of economic development, contraception becomes affordable.
The proof of this is a number of countries which have made contraception affordable before they achieved a western level of development. They did it by subsidizing contraception and lo and behold their birth rate fell. Of course, with birth rate under control, economic development is much more likely. There are less mouths to eat up advances in productivity.
While we are at it, lets look at the most recent green revolutions that began in the 60's. The Yield of a number of grain crops was greatly increased. Some say tripled. This production was achieved by careful selective breeding but the new varieties only fulfilled their potential with irrigation, fertilizer, herbicides and insecticides. Despite being free of starvation for a number of decades. the change was not an unmitigated success. Part of the dark side has been:
a) mining of the water table to provide water for the new, highly productive varieties, lowering it disastrously, notably in China and India,
b) accessing deeper layers of water which are contaminated with arsenic, notably in Bangladesh and parts of India,
c) Pesticide pollution of aquifers, which along with arsenic contamination has led to a greatly increased incidence of cancer, especially in Bangladesh and parts of India
d) salination of soils, rendering them unfit for agriculture.
e) more land in production pushing nature and her free provision of food, fuel, fibre medicine waste disposal and clean water further into a corner*.
*(you would have thought that land would have been taken out of production due to higher yields.- go figure)
f) production of greatly increased grain yield but with less vitamins and minerals per kg of grain than in traditional varieties resulting in nutrient malnutrition,
g) huge loss of a genetic diversity as locals switched to the new varieties, abandoning their traditional varieties.
h) the loss of small farms to large land owners as the peasants borrowed to buy fertilizer, got into debt and defaulted on their loans.
i) an increase in population of about 700,000,000 mouths that are only with us because of this most recent green revolution.
We really have got to the point of diminishing returns. Every advance in agriculture production makes us poorer and poorer. It makes us poorer by:
*decreasing the availability of food, fuel, fibre, clean water and clean air that we obtain gratis from nature as more land is put into agriculture for profit.
*decreasing the ability of nature to process our wastes safely
*decreasing the variety of foods available to us as areas which once grew fruit and vegetables are given over to the more profitable growing of grain crops for cash.
*reducing the space we have to live in as we are crowded by more and more people.
* facilitating diseases of crowding that we would otherwise not have had and increasing the possibility that a pandemic will be much more severe.
* pushing us closer to a disastrous collapse in our Gia support system as we test the theory of sudden climate change with gay abandon.
There is talk now of the need for a second (actually more like the 100th) green revolution, this one based on splicing new genes into varieties of grain. This will probably work and will further increase production. As has happened since agriculture began, population will increase until the new advances in production are used up. In the mean time all those extra people will further degrade the natural environment that we depend on for our existence.
If you want to see the other likely consequenses, go back and read what resulted from the 60's green revolution.
Note: It has been reported that a number of genetically changed plants caused organ failure when fed to rats.
Extra agricultural production only pushes us closer to the brink. The last thing you want when you are standing at the edge of a cliff is a great leap forward.
As was mentioned above, since the 60's it has been noted that when a country achieves a certain level of prosperity, birth rate falls. This is a modern phenomenon. It didn't happen anywhere in Europe before the last century. Britain's birth rate remained high all through the industrial revolution with well off Brits having as many children as their poorer cousins. Think back to your grandfather and great grandfather's family. How many children did each of your ancestors have as far back as you can trace. The difference, as previously mentioned, in the 'modern era' is contraception.
Contraception has been available at least from Roman times, but it only became truly effective when it was modernized and put into the hands of women. Both the pill and the effective IUD (as opposed to previous less than adequate models) only became practical from about 1960 onward and they have had a huge effect in countries where they are affordable either because the economic level of the population makes them so or because the government has subsidized them. In both cases, birth rate has fallen precipitously. Ignoring immigration, which is another story, most European countries have decreasing populations. What a success - and they are fighting against it tooth and nail. That is also another story.
I lived in South Africa for 15 years, much of the time in the homeland of Gazankulu. Despite an educational level of around grade 2 amongst many of the women, they would come into the clinic for their 3month jab to keep them from getting pregnant. There is a vast difference between not having a formal education and being stupid. These women were clever and fully realized the advantages of having less children. Their men were not so smart. They would have beaten the women if they knew what was happening.
We must learn to live in our respective countries with a stable and then a reducing population. This , of course will result in a population in which the age distribution curve is heavily skewed toward older people. We have to work out ways to live and live well in such a society. For far too long we have been living in a pyramid scheme in which each generation had to be larger than the previous one.
This was necessary so that there were enough young people to fill the more menial jobs before they rose up to higher levels. It was also necessary in order to have enough working people to provide the pensions of the retired. This, quite frankly, is a stupid system. The pension contributions of the working public should go into buying up the means of production. Pensions are then paid from the dividends from these companies and even from selling the shares to presently working people. The elderly become a boon rather than a drain on the economy as they spend their pensions.
Our system can't go on. We must stop importing so-called cheap labor to fill the positions of the children we are not having. In the long term, cheap labor is very expensive.
Note that people are now worried about robots taking over our jobs. Surly these two phenomenon fit together beautifully. We have less jobs available and less young people to fill the positions. The critical factor is taxing the companies who are producing their goods by automation instead of by people. Too many large corporations now get away with paying little if any tax. If collected this tax money then should go to the unemployed, whether young or pensioners. The companies should also face up to reality. If people have no money they can't buy the goods they produce by automation. It is in the interest of the companies to have money in the pockets of the people.
Pyramid schemes collapse and the mini collapse we are going through at present (2008ff) is nothing compared to what is to come if we keep increasing agricultural production rather than concentrating on reducing population. If we continue this way, we will soon have an answer to the question of who is correct regarding sudden climate change. If the climate change sceptics are wrong, we may very soon achieve the lovelock number.
Note (2017) Get the book by David R Montgomery, Growing a revolution
* Starvation killed an estimated 50m Chinese over the 19th century, 20m Indians in the latter half, 1m Irish between 1845 and 1852, 1/3 of the population of Ethiopia from 1888 and 1892 and 3m in Bengal in 1943. Imagine the effect of the failure of the wheat and rice crop for just one year due to sudden climate change or even from a mega volcano one spring. (link)
** If you double your population or your GDP, you pretty well double your use of water, wood and minerals, double your production of pollution and garbage and double the area of land you cover in buildings. You continue to eat into unoccupied land, you eliminate all the benefits unoccupied land brings to the human population for free. Below is a table of how long it takes to double all of the above as a function of yearly GDP growth rate. You can calculate it for yourself with a high-school calculator if you put in (for 3% growth rate, for instance) log 2/log1.03. The '2' is a doubling time, 1.03 is the interest (growth rate).
Annual growth and number of year to double the economy
1% 70 years
2% 35 years
3% 23 years
4% 18 years
5% 14 years
How many countries in the world do you know that can find twice the water, wood, minerals and produce twice the pollution and garbage and still have any quality of life. The only two I can think of off hand are Canada and New Zealand. We don't want to live like this.
