Simplified proof testing procedure with Heartbeat Technology
Detect ammonia levels in the separator at all times
Evaporation of liquid chemicals such as ammonia or alcohols from water creates risks when heating the vessel. The right level needs to be maintained at all times. Controlling the level requires highly sophisticated and accurate instrumentation and techniques. Our innovative Levelflex FMP54 provides gas phase compensation – the ideal solution for precise level measurement in high density gas applications.
HistoROM data management concept for fast and easy commissioning, maintenance and diagnostics
Time and cost savings thanks to easy proof test concept according to SIL/WHG
Safe process due to double ceramic coupling and gas tight feed through
Real-time data/diagnostics capability thanks to HART protocol
Detect ammonia temperature in the storage tank at all times
Ammonia is a toxic gas when kept at room temperature. That's why it is best to store it in its liquid state at -33 °C (-27.4 F). Measuring temperature of the fluid and the wall of the tank is important to make sure no "hot-spot" is occurring. A very robust system is needed because accessing the filled tank is impossible. By combining our StrongSens technology with our MultiSens TMS01 we are able to provide you with very robust sensors.
Increased safety thanks to complete mapping over the tank (up to 100m lengths) with only one process connection
Reduced maintenance costs because of longer sensor life the duration of operation

FTA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
This page has moved. If you arrived here via direct link, please update your bookmark.
You should be automatically forwarded to the new dynamic version of FTAList. Or you can go there now.
Why should I get a FTA system?
FTA provides free programming you can't get anywhere else. Whether it's foreign language programming from faraway countries or TV stations from another state, there's always something on watch on FTA, but there's never a subscription fee.
Come on, is this really free? What's the catch?
Yes, once you set up your system, you never have to pay anyone anything to watch all of the legitimate, legal FTA channels listed on FTAList.
The catch is that you can't control what's available. With so many channels to choose from, there's always something to watch, but individual channels come and go without warning. That's why a site such as FTAList is useful to help you keep track of what new channels arrived and what channels went away.
Should I drop cable/Dish/DirecTV and switch to FTA?
Probably not. FTA is a great supplement to an existing programming package, but it struggles as a sole provider. Some of the big four broadcast networks aren't available on Ku-band FTA, and there aren't any HBO-style movie or sports channels. And channels come and go without notice, which is why you need a site like this.
If you watch your local broadcasters with an over-the-air antenna, FTA can add a lot of channels to your $0-per-month system. But if you're used to easy access to dozens of movie channels and sports any hour of the day, you won't get it with FTA.
How can I use FTA equipment to pick up ESPN or HBO?
Short answer: You can't.
Long answer: Some channels are meant for subscribers only. Those channels are sent encrypted; only authorized recipients may unscramble them. Once in a great while, a channel like this will be available in the clear for a few hours, but that's about it. Just as you occasionally find money on the sidewalk, it's nice when it happens, but you don't plan on it.
Cautionary answer: Some scofflaws spend a lot of time working to break the encryption on these channels. Sometimes they succeed, at least until the encryption changes. Their methods are typically illegal and can damage legitimate FTA equipment. The possible reward isn't worth the risk.
Can I use a Dish Network or DirecTV dish and LNBF to pick up FTA channels?
Yes, but not many. There are only a few Dish Network and Bell ExpressVu TV channels, mostly system promos, that a FTA receiver can pick up with Dish/DirecTV equipment. There are a fair number of audio channels in the clear. In general, a Dish/DirecTV setup and a switch can be a cheap way to add this small set of channels, but by itself, it won't give you much reason to buy a FTA receiver.
What do I need for a FTA system?
This is covered in more detail in the Getting Started section. In short, you need a clear view of the southern sky, a 30-inch or larger dish, a Ku-band LNBF, a Free-to-air DVB receiver, and RG-6 cable to connect the receiver to the LNBF.
I'm ready to buy. Where's your order form?
FTAList does not sell equipment. Check the online dealers listed in the FTA Links page, or our dealer advertisers, or your local phone book under Satellite Television.
Which FTA receiver should I buy?
FTA receivers are like cars. There are lots of different models, most of which perform basic functions the same way. There are lots of opinions about which one is best, but very few people have significant experience with more than one or two models.
If you're just getting started, I'd suggest that you make sure your first receiver has blind scanning to help you find channels. Even if you don't have a motor, you might feel like adding one later, so it's generally a good idea to make sure your receiver can drive one. After that, it's a question of which cool features you want and how much you want to spend. Shop around!
Do I need a separate FTA receiver for every TV in my house?
Yes and no. You definitely need a separate FTA tuner for every different FTA channel you want to watch simultaneously. For now, multiple-tuner FTA receivers are unusual, so you can pretty much say that you need multiple receivers for multiple simulaneous channels. And if you're planning on watching channels from two different satellites at the same time, you'll need two dishes.
But if you don't need to watch different shows at the same time, you can split the output of a FTA receiver to send the same channel to multiple TVs.
How will the February 2009 digital conversion affect FTA?
Not at all; FTA channels are already digital. The digital conversion will only affect analog over-the-air reception. For more information, go to DTV Answers.com.
I have a specific FTA receiver, and I need to know the exact sequence of steps to do something in particular. Can you help?
No. There are a lot of receivers, and I've used only a few of them. To solve a particular problem with a particular receiver, your best sources of information are: the receiver's instruction manual, the dealer who sold the receiver to you, the receiver manufacturer's web site, and online forums devoted to your brand of receiver. To find those web sites, try Google.
When I look at LyngSat, I see a lot more channels. Why don't you list them here?
Three main reasons:
1) They're not visible from North America. LyngSat has some interesting lists that include all channels that originate from a given country, such as the US. That's not a bad thing, but it's not so helpful when you really want to see what you can receive here in North America. Or ...
2) They're not free-to-air. Channels with notes such as PowerVu or Digicipher are scrambled. LyngSat lists them, but you can't watch them with FTA equipment. Or ...
3) They're C-band channels. Any channel that LyngSat lists with a four-digit frequency is C-band.
What's a C-band channel?
It's a channel using the frequencies that used to be the only game in town for satellites. C-band signals are weaker, so you need the huge (6-foot or larger) dishes to receive them. There's nothing wrong with big dishes, but they're more complicated to set up and they're restricted from more areas.
What are feeds?
Feeds are signals beamed from a remote location to a studio for editing (sometimes) and rebroadcast. Common examples are local news correspondents sending reports, and sporting events fed back to a studio without graphics or commericals. Because there's usually no good way to know when they'll be on, feeds are not listed with the standard channels here. If you want to find feeds, an FTA receiver with blind scanning can help.
Why don't you include the satellites that are east of AMC 6 or west of Galaxy 27?
The lists here are designed to represent the channels that can be seen by all of the contiguous United States and southern Canada. For simplicity, especially for those new to the hobby, I have left out those satellites that can be seen on one coast but not the other. That may change in future versions of FTAList.
Why don't you list C-band FTA channels?
Again, it's for simplicity. A primary goal of FTAList.com is to present all of the channels that anyone can pick up with a smaller, Ku-band dish, in charts that are easy to understand. Future versions of FTAList may include a separate section for C-band FTA channels. Until then, check the C-band list from Global Communications.
How do you list the FTA channels that you can only get with a circular LNBF?
These circular-polarity channels are marked with *C*, and with a different background color for the channel names. There aren't many of them, but if you've got a system that includes a circular-polarity LNBF, then here are a few more channels to watch.
Some channels have more than one language. Why do you list only one?
The main reason is to avoid confusion. If a channel uses five languages, it shouldn't be listed five times. If a channel alternates between languages, it may confuse newcomers who, for example, might find a channel on the English list but hear it in Arabic at the time they tune in. The second reason is that's the way the database is structured. Future versions of FTAList may revisit this question.

Yanks' big fourth helps push Tanaka to 5-0
MILWAUKEE -- One of the qualities that has impressed the Yankees most through Masahiro Tanaka's first tour of the big leagues is an ability to power deep into games, even if his pitches aren't working exactly as intended. He may bend, but he never seems to break.
Tanaka gives his team a chance to win every time out, and so far, the Yankees are making the most of it. Tanaka's undefeated streak continued on Friday with a 5-3 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park, marking his fifth win in seven Major League starts.View Full Game Coverage
MILWAUKEE -- One of the qualities that has impressed the Yankees most through Masahiro Tanaka's first tour of the big leagues is an ability to power deep into games, even if his pitches aren't working exactly as intended. He may bend, but he never seems to break.
Tanaka gives his team a chance to win every time out, and so far, the Yankees are making the most of it. Tanaka's undefeated streak continued on Friday with a 5-3 victory over the Brewers at Miller Park, marking his fifth win in seven Major League starts.View Full Game Coverage
"The most important thing is that we got a win tonight," Tanaka said through an interpreter. "As far as my pitching goes, I was missing some spots, I wasn't at my best. But I'll work on it and make some adjustments in my next outing."
The Brewers might be surprised to hear that assessment. They thought Tanaka looked plenty formidable, especially through the first five frames, when he limited one of the National League's top clubs to a pair of singles and a walk.
Milwaukee finally broke through with a pair of sixth-inning runs, but Tanaka clamped the damage there, scattering seven hits over 6 1/3 innings while striking out seven.
"That's how he's been pitching. He's pitched like that pretty much every time out," Derek Jeter said. "Milwaukee's a good team. They've been playing extremely well so far this year, but he mixes his pitches up and he's a handful to deal with."
"That's a pretty good pitcher," Brewers slugger Aramis Ramirez said. "What I saw tonight, he's going to be good for a while."
Yangervis Solarte's three-run home run, the second home run of his big league career, highlighted the attack against starter Yovani Gallardo as the Yankees came away winners in their first game in Milwaukee since 2005.
Adam Warren pitched 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief and closer David Robertson struck out three in the ninth around Mark Reynolds' solo home run to lock down his sixth save in as many opportunities.
"Gallardo was extremely tough on us the first time through the lineup," manager Joe Girardi said. "Once our guys saw him a little bit, they got some base hits on him. They were able to get four runs, but the big hit was Solarte's."
Solarte's fourth-inning blast cleared the right-field wall, coming with Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann on the basepaths. Brian Roberts added a run-scoring double later in the inning.
"I just keep going," said Solarte, who leads the Yankees with 18 RBIs. "I want to just help the team. Everybody was good today. I love this, I'm getting a lot of experience right now. I need to learn from everybody."
That was enough support for Tanaka, who -- including his performance in Nippon Professional Baseball -- has not lost in his last 41 starts, compiling a 33-0 record that dates back to Aug. 19, 2012. He also struck out in each of his first three big league at-bats.
Tanaka held Milwaukee to a pair of hits over the first five innings, but the Brewers opened the sixth with three straight hits, as Carlos Gomez doubled and scored on Scooter Gennett's double, setting up Jonathan Lucroy's run-scoring single.
"It might have looked like I was kind of cruising at the beginning, but I don't think I was really pitching the way I wanted to at the beginning," Tanaka said. "I think I was kind of getting lucky as well."
Lucroy's at-bat included an unusual interruption as a young male fan wearing a Ryan Braun jersey jumped out of the seats behind the third-base dugout, running to Jeter's shortstop position with his arms outstretched and asked Jeter for a hug.
"I said, 'You're going to get in trouble, man,'" Jeter said. "And then he repeated that he wanted a hug, and I said, 'Look out.' That's pretty much what happened."
Tanaka said that he "didn't think too much" about the delay. Ramirez then battled Tanaka in a 10-pitch at-bat before grounding into a double play, and Tanaka escaped the inning on a strikeout.
"He kind of stopped the bleeding," catcher McCann said. "To only give up two runs right there with back-to-back doubles, it's pretty huge."
Tanaka allowed a pair of one-out hits in the seventh, but reliever Warren came on and ended the inning on a strike 'em out, throw 'em out double play, preserving Tanaka's line.
"That's a huge part of the game because Gomez was on deck; a very dangerous hitter, as we saw tonight," Girardi said. "He just missed hitting a home run his last at-bat."
New York added an insurance run in the eighth, an inning started by a Beltran double. Pinch-runner Ichiro Suzuki stole third and scored on a groundout, helping to keep Tanaka's incredible streak alive.
"It doesn't really matter what team I'm facing," Tanaka said. "All I'm trying to do is face hitters and get as many outs as possible when I get out there on the mound. I'm just happy I was able to get through tonight."

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama intends to nominate former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray to a new consumer financial protection bureau that was a central feature of a law that overhauled banking regulations.
White House and administration sources say Obama plans to announce the nomination Monday at the White House.
In choosing Cordray, Obama bypassed Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of consumer groups, who has been assembling the agency as a special adviser to the White House and to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
Cordray would have to be confirmed by the Senate. Warren, who is considered the architect of the consumer bureau, faced opposition in the Senate and would have had a difficult time wining confirmation.
Cordray now serves as director of enforcement for the agency.

Whoever works at Adam Hall wants to break ground. Internationally active, regionally rooted. Experience the special spirit of the Adam Hall Group.
People who work for Adam Hall want to make a difference and get actively involved with things by applying their personality and their individual strengths. Only so is it possible to create an animated team that loves to take on challenges, shows initiative and sustainably remains motivated. We are confident: Adam Hall offers all the things you may have missed at other companies and in other professions: genuine team spirit and camaraderie, interest and curiosity that go beyond the latest project and both clear specifications and creative freedom.
To be honest, it is not difficult to be interested in event, lighting and audio technology outside work too, whether as a musician with your own band, a sound or lighting engineer at concerts in the region or simply a music lover on your own sofa. At Adam Hall, we feel this spirit. Every single day. The warehouse staff, marketing team, heads of department, sales staff and managing directors all pull together and follow the same passion.
Internationally active, regionally rooted – there are few companies to which this frequently-heard description truly applies. Adam Hall is one of them. With showrooms in Poland, Singapore and Barcelona, as well as the establishment of Adam Hall Asia Pte Ltd. and Adam Hall North America Inc., the company is clearly heading down the road of international business. Yet despite this, our roots still lie in the region around the company headquarters in Neu-Anspach, Hesse, (near Frankfurt am Main in the beautiful Taunus mountains). Over 70 percent of employees come from or live in the immediate vicinity. Those who work here feel a sense of commitment to the region and the local people. For this reason, Adam Hall supports several sports and cultural clubs from the surrounding towns and villages, with a focus on those for children and young people. But with all the excitement that comes from sport, music must naturally not be forgotten. Adam Hall therefore sponsors regional open air festivals, such as the Alte Ziegelei festival and other music events. It also provides nurseries with event technology.
More information about the culture, life & leisure, business & science in the Taunus mountains can be found at www.taunus.info.
A good balance between working life, family life and leisure time is becoming ever more important for employees. We are not least noticing this in interviews in which many applicants confidently and understandably bring this key matter up. And we like this! After all, a good balance between working and family life has always been an integral part of the Adam Hall corporate culture.
Here, the number of contractually specified working hours is not simply an alibi statement with no bearing on real life, but a specific guideline amount that our employees can rely on. We know that working, family life and leisure time are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary! It is only by combining these that you can create the important balance needed to go about all aspects of life with passion, energy and enjoyment.
In view of this, here at Adam Hall, we always lend our employees an open ear.
At Adam Hall Group, we keep a firm eye on the wellbeing of our employees. With our company-wide health management, we improve our employees' physical and mental performance. We put the focus on encouraging them to take the initiative to maintain their own health – i.e. through sport or special dietary programs. We have set up our own restaurant at the headquarters in Neu-Anspach together with our partner Consortium Systemgastronomie.
Balanced, varied and healthy meals rejuvenate our staff so they are ready to start work again after their break. Tea, coffee and water are available for free to all our colleagues.
Regarding occupational safety, the main focus is ensuring the workplace and work processes are ergonomically sound. We guarantee every employee an ergonomical and modern workplace and provide regular training on this issue.
Football, jogging and Nordic walking are among the most popular types of exercise. An alternative to working out alone or joining a sports club is having a quick, spontaneous kick-around somewhere, jogging with others or entering an organized race. This compensates for the stresses of daily work life and improves team spirit and the atmosphere between the staff.
Motivated employees need prospects – in both their personal and their professional lives. After all, even the best can get left behind at times, especially in an innovative and dynamic industry that is strongly driven by technological advances like the event technology industry. As an ever-growing company, Adam Hall therefore offers its employees a broad range of both regional and international development opportunities: from specialist training through targeted English courses, to the opportunity to take on temporary or long-term jobs at our international sites.
Yet even without specifically moving abroad, our global colleagues regularly come into contact with one another – for example at the many international trade fairs, internal events and industry conferences. We specifically promote these meetings and look forward to the synergies for current and future projects that arise from them.
"Come as you are" - Our brands and products are at home in many different sectors and areas: on concert stages, in theatres, clubs and television studios, in museums, conference centres and company head offices, in industry or in public spaces. This makes it necessary for us to offer a huge range of products and services, tailored to an equally broad and diverse customer base – from specialist retailers to hire companies for major tournaments, broadcasting corporations to architects and professional musicians to school bands. It is this diversity that makes Adam Hall employees' everyday work so appealing to them.
There is a lot to do. Let's do it together. Find your future in the current Adam Hall vacancies.

However, Godfrey told producers at the recent Rice Field Day at the Biggs, Calif., Rice Experiment Station that with the new products comes a new application scenario since these new compounds target adults and not larvae like Furadan.
"Timing of application is crucial," said Godfrey. Monitoring for infestation levels also becomes critical, and the UC entomologist is testing a weevil trap developed for Arkansas rice producers.
Applying the new products too late runs the risk of controlling adults after they have deposited eggs. Too early runs the risk of the compounds dissipating before adults infest fields.
Godfrey's trials showed that Dimilin applied at first rice emergence through 50 percent emergence provided an increasing amount of rice weevil control, peaking at 83 percent. Late timing five and 10 days after 50 percent emergence were slightly less efficacious, he said.
While Warrior and Dimilin alone can control rice water weevil, timing can be "fairly unforgiving. The combination may widen the window of application," Godfrey said.
The entomologist said Warrior offers immediate adult control while Dimilin may lengthen the residual control by reducing deposition of viable eggs for a longer period of time.
Results of study
Results in 2000s, said Godfrey, show no disadvantage or clear-cut advantage. He is evaluating 2001 studies.
Although Warrior's manufacturer does not recommend the use of its product as a pre-plant application, Godfrey said he has recorded good control using this method, which he says may be easier and more environmentally sound than post-flooding. However, it is not registered for this application method.
One of the issues with rice water weevil control is residual efficacy of these new products, and when it might be necessary to re-treat.
Godfrey said once rice reaches the sixth leaf stage, rice water weevil damage is not likely.
The in-field monitoring trials Godfrey is conducting uses a flagged and floating rice water weevil trap developed in Arkansas.
He is trying this because the scarring thresholds used for applying Furadan are not applicable to Dimilin and Warrior.
The Arkansas trap is useful under that state's delayed flooding production system, and Godfrey is testing it under California's flood production system.
In trials last year, Godfrey validated a relationship between adults captured and larval populations: one adult per trap corresponded to 3.3 larvae trap. He is continuing to evaluate the trap for its efficiency under rice water weevil pressure. He tested it in 10 locations this season.

Album Review: The Tallest Man On Earth, "The Wild Hunt"
A reductive comparison one could draw to this record is that lord of Folk himself: Mr. Zimmerman. And such a comparison was drawn over and over to The Tallest Man On Earth's last record, Shallow Grave. But Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man..., is so much more. There is a vocal similarity, to be sure, but less than on the last album. Here, we find Matsson further exploring his upper register and utilizing guitar skills ol' Bob only wishes he could possess. There's a bit more overdubbing with the instrumentation, but it's done in a subtle way that adds nicely to the musical background - as evidenced by the banjo on Track 2 and just a little electric guitar on Track 9. Track 10 sees Matsson move from the frets to the piano, and it's a beautiful move. Lyrically, it covers your general folky tropes but in a nicely poetic way.
In addition to the flat-out greatness of the songs is the excellent production. It gives the whole album a magnificent sense of space (despite seeming so intimately recorded). But that's really what this album evokes - expansiveness. There's just something that moves in this music, and makes everything seem so limitless. This one is for the road, especially when travelling solo. Even the album cover makes such expansiveness (and road-worthiness) pretty clear.
Seriously, this album is fuckin' everything a modern folk album should be, especially when it's just a guy and his own solo instrumentation.
Play all and any tracks!!
Labels: Bob Dylan, The Tallest Man On Earth

Speaker Ryan on Trump's win: He earned mandate
House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Wednesday that Donald Trump earned a mandate with his victory over Hillary Clinton.
Ryan added that Trump "turned politics on its head," and promised "hand-in-hand" work on GOP agenda.
"We won more seats than anyone expected, and much of that is thanks to Donald Trump," Ryan said.

Managing Themes
To install and apply a theme, such as the one provided here:
- Use the Scrivener/Preferences... menu command.
- Click the Manage... button along the bottom left.
- Choose the "Load Theme Preferences…" option.
- Select the .stheme file that you've downloaded and wish to install.
The settings will be immediately applied to your preferences. Theme settings only change those settings that relate to select appearance options. They won't override how you use the software, and so they can be safely experimented with.
- If you'd like to keep these settings as a preset, again use the Manage... menu, and this time select "Save Theme Preferences as Preset…` command.
Optionally: you can drag the .stheme file directly into Scrivener's support folder (use the Reveal Support Folder in Finder menu command from either the main Scrivener menu or File menu for macOS/Win, respectively), under the "PreferencePresets" subfolder. It will now appear in the Manage menu as an option you can select with a single click.
- Give the preset a name, and select whether any of the fonts from your current settings should be saved along with it.
You might want to save your own settings in this manner first, before trying out a theme you've downloaded. That way you can quickly switch back to your own settings if it doesn't work for you.
Additionally, you can download the Scrivener 3 default appearance settings as a theme.
Removing Themes
Have you installed a theme as a preset that you don't care for? You can remove it from the menu with the following steps:
- Use the Scrivener/Reveal Support Folder in Finder menu command.
- Drill into the PreferencePresets folder.
- Locate the .stheme or .prefs file you wish to remove and drag it to the trash.
For Scrivener 3 (currently macOS only):
Unzip the downloaded file if necessary, and within you'll find two variants. One will set up fonts the way they are shown in the screenshots, and the other will just change the colours, leaving your user interface font settings alone.
Theme Index
I will do my best to keep an index of the themes posted to this thread, to save folks from having to read through the entire thing. If you've created a theme and you don't see it appear with a couple of days, give me a nudge via PM. If you update your post—perhaps to remove its "work in progress" status, let me know as I'll otherwise not see notification of the edit.

Federer upbeat over title chances
Roger Federer is dreaming of grand slam titles again but first he must get past his old rival Rafael Nadal.
The 17-time major champion came into the Australian Open as an outsider after his 2013 struggles but has looked back to something like his best form in wins over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Andy Murray.
Having lost to Murray in the semi-finals 12 months ago, Federer took revenge to reach the last four in Melbourne for an 11th consecutive time.
The 32-year-old has not made a grand slam final since winning the last of his titles with victory over Murray at Wimbledon in 2012.
He has beaten Nadal only 10 times in 32 meetings, and not at a slam since the Wimbledon final of 2007, but the Spaniard is struggling with a blister on the palm of his left hand and battled past Grigor Dimitrov in his quarter-final.
For Federer, meanwhile, there is also the tantalising possibility of an all-Swiss final, with Stanislas Wawrinka due to play Tomas Berdych on Thursday after his stunning upset of Novak Djokovic.
"For me it's an amazing result to be in the semis," said Federer. "This one feels different because of the tougher times I've had in the slams.
"Plus what I really love is another Swiss is in the semis as well. It's the first time in history, so that's a big deal.
"I didn't think about it all the time when I was playing, but it was definitely inspiring tennis by him. For me, it's as well a dream run, and I hope I can keep it up against Rafa.
"Clearly when you're in the semis, you start dreaming. There's no doubt about that."
Federer will hope the changes he has made can bring about a change of fortune against Nadal.
The Swiss is playing with a larger-headed racquet and has Stefan Edberg in his corner to advise him and regular coach Severin Luthi.
Edberg has already won the battle of the super coaches, with Murray's mentor Ivan Lendl and Djokovic's new head coach Boris Becker both heading home.
Federer will face Nadal at a slam for the first time since the semi-finals here two years ago, and he said: "He's been tough to play against, no doubt. I'm happy I get a chance to play him in a slam again.
"The head-to-head record is in his favour. I'm looking forward to speaking to Stefan, because when we spoke together when he came to Dubai and we spoke about the game, we clearly spoke about playing Rafa as well. He thought he had some good ideas."
Nadal had to fight back from a set down against first-time slam quarter-finalist Dimitrov and admitted he was "so lucky" not to drop the third as well.
Dimitrov had three set points and on the second he pushed a routine forehand wide, with Nadal eventually coming through 3-6 7-6 (7/3) 7-6 (9/7) 6-2.
The world number one was a long way from his best form throughout and conceded the strapping on his blister is badly affecting his serve.
"I feel that with the tape I can lose the racquet when I'm serving," said Nadal. "That's a terrible feeling for a serve.
"I served slower, I served bad. But I was able to win a match against a very difficult opponent, so that has much more value than when everything is great.
"And because of these victories, sometimes it happens that the next day you are able to play much better.
"I'm going to try to improve. If not, I'm not going to have the chance to be in the final."
This has been a breakthrough grand slam for 22-year-old Dimitrov, but the Bulgarian knew he had let a great chance slip through his fingers, and he fought back tears as he discussed the missed forehand.
He said: "I'm a bit shattered. It's tough losing that match. I came out expecting nothing less than to win.
"Of course I shed a few tears, but it should hurt. And it does hurt.
"Once you take a decision, never look back. It's the same thing in life: you make mistakes. It's in the past.
"I'm sure I could have done something different. But in a match everything comes down to a split second. It's whether it's in or out."
Wawrinka and Berdych have both made it through to the semi-finals in Melbourne for the first time.
Federer is a close friend and supporter of Wawrinka, and he said of Tuesday night's match: "At the end I was standing up, hands in the air like him.
"When he wins big points, you do a fist pump. I high five with Mirka (his wife). We watched the entire fifth set together. It was amazing."

Geology-Biology involves study of the interactions of the Earth and its hydrosphere and atmosphere with the great diversity of life forms, and how they have evolved and influenced one another over the entire history of the Earth. Many courses emphasize climate and biogeochemistry; this concentration is a good one for students interested in quantitative approaches to environmental science. Students take a basic suite of geoscience courses and at least 4 bio courses of their choosing, plus some supporting math and science courses; the AB degree requires a total of 14 courses and the ScB degree requires a total of 19, including one semester of research. There is a strong emphasis on active and collaborative learning, and on practice in communication. There are many opportunities for students to do research work (typically in paid positions) during the academic year or in the summer, in areas such as determining the history of climate change during the recent ice age, investigating the causes of major extinctions, and using paleoenvironmental records to determine the vulnerability of different regions of the globe to droughts and other processes that strongly affect society.
Students in this concentration will:
Click here for a list of concentration requirements.
Almost all students undertake a capstone experience, which may include a summer field course, a senior seminar course, or an independent research course. ScB students are required to complete at least one semester of research; AB students do not have this requirement, but many undertake a research course as an elective. Honors may be awarded to candidates for either an AB or an ScB degree, if they have a GPA of 3.4 or higher in concentration courses and complete honors work in independent research (GEOL 1970). Honors research is supervised by one faculty member (who can be in Bio or Envir. Sci. or in Geo) and the resulting thesis is read by two additional faculty. An oral presentation and a final paper, revised at least once, are required. Please consult the department's website for a complete description of admission procedures and requirements.
This concentration allows you to address the following Liberal Learning goals:
Geology-Biology concentrators can find a variety of employment opportunities with their undergrad degree, including the private sector (eg environmental consulting firms), government (research positions at state and US Geological Surveys, EPA, national labs), academic (research internships at universities; teaching at private schools, museums, outdoor education centers, TFA), and non-profits (community and national organizations). About half of all concentrators eventually go on for a professional or advanced degree, either in basic science or in one of the increasing number of interdisciplinary programs.
Where have concentrators worked/studied in their first year after graduation?
What are concentrators doing 5 and 10 years after graduation?

Russian Sports Minister Warns Gays To Obey Law At Sochi Olympics
Piggy-backing on statements earlier this week from Russian lawmaker Vitaly Milonov, Russian Sports minister Vitaly Mutko has also asserted that athletes and spectators will NOT be safe from Russia's anti-gay laws during the Sochi Olympics in 2014.
Maybe it's a "Vitaly" thing??
The comments by Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko appear to contradict assurances from the International Olympic Committee last week that no athlete attending the games would be targeted by the law.
"The law talks not about banning a non-traditional orientation but about other things, about propaganda and implicating minors," Mutko told the R-Sport news agency.
"No one is banning a sportsman with a non-traditional sexual orientation from going to Sochi. But if he goes out onto the street and starts to make propaganda, then of course he will be brought to responsibility.
"As a sportsman, he should respect the law of a country," Mutko added. "Come (to Sochi), but don't get young people involved, don't make propaganda. This is what we are talking about."
The message is so painfully clear. Gays will not be safe at the 2014 Olympics. Bullsh*t alleged assurances to the International Olympic Committee are worthless, and frankly, so are the IOC's promises of "protection."
The Russian government isn't concerned with how they're perceived by rest of the world.
So now the IOC has to answer: What are you gonna do about this?

Regulation of ciliary dynein activity and assembly, and the role of the central pair complex in ciliary motility regulation.
Link to PubMed (Opens new window. Close the PubMed window to return to this page.)
Dynein and kinesin ATPases are molecular motors for many types of microtubule-based cell motility, including mitosis, directed transport of vesicles, maintenance of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and motility of (eukaryotic) cilia and flagella. We study the role of dyneins in microtubule sliding and eukaryotic flagellar bend formation, and in the regulation of flagellar waveform and beat frequency, through a combination of genetic, biochemical, and molecular approaches. While the role of dyneins as microtubule-associated motors for both ciliary and cytoplasmic motility is well recognized, little is known about their regulation or their mode of attachment to the loads they carry (vesicles or chromosomes in the cytoplasm, doublet microtubules in cilia and flagella). Our experimental system is the flagellated unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, since dynein subunits in Chlamydomonas flagella are homologous to subunits in mammalian dyneins but are more easily approached through genetic and molecular analyses. Human conditions that inhibit motility of these organelles (Kartagener''s syndrome, Primary Ciliary Diskinesia) are known to cause upper respiratory illnesses and male infertility. We are using in vitro mutagenesis and transformation of cloned genes to test specific hypotheses regarding the function of selected dynein subunits, and to understand mechanisms that regulate dynein assembly and activity. We are also using in vivo mutagenesis and selecting mutations that alter normal dynein function, characterizing these mutations at the molecular level, and correlating specific motility defects (analyzed by light microscopy) with defects in subunit structure and assembly. These studies provide the framework for determining general mechanisms of dynein assembly and function in all types of cell motility. The recent identification of kinesins associated with flagellar microtubules suggests that these motor proteins also play an important role in flagellar motility, and we are seeking to understand this role.
Mutations that prevent dynein assembly into flagella are also analyzed to characterize genes that are important for cytoplasmic assembly of dynein subunits, targeting to the flagellar compartment, and attachment of dynein motors to doublet microtubules. These studies will provide key information about mechanisms that regulate the intracellular distribution and activity of dyneins. Early steps in this process appear to use multiple HSP90-associated co-chaperoning complexes, but the nature of substrate recognition and the specfic steps in assembly that are helped have not been identified. Later steps involve generation of complexes that can be recognized by the transport machinery, and regulation of dynein transport into the flagellar compartment.
My favorite research organism,

Tim D. necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 84 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
I will be launching a new cosmetics/personal care brand for people with sensitive skin and/or sensitive skin conditions.
The products themselves will be made entirely, or as close to as possible, from natural ingredients (however they will not be fairtrade or organic at this point in time).
I may expand the business further into health foods at a later date depending upon how the initial products sell.
I am looking to get a company logo designed that will be used in all parts of the business from business cards through to product packaging. Some key considerations follow.
- Alghough this is a new venture I'd like the company to look established.
- I'd like to create an air of 'formal informality'
- Although all products are carefully formulated and tested in laboratories, I do not want an overly medical or scientific look. Lifestyle is a big factor here.
- I do not want the logo to scream 'I've got an embarrasing skin complaint'. It needs to be tactful, yet confident and responsible.
- The brand could be sold anywhere worldwide.I've got some ideas of designs already, but it is always good to see what other options are available and this seems a great way of doing it.
This project was thought out and is being funded by me, so I'm very hands on.
- The design needs to be created in a format that can be blown up or shrunk down without losing definition so I can use it on trade show stands as easily as on business cards.
- I will have at least 10 products, each of which will require different packaging so the colouring in the logo cannot be overly complicated.
- include the strap line 'helping you help your skin naturally'
- Item 1...

Thecus N3200PRO NAS Server Review
Price: $379.99
When looking at storage solutions, eventually users outgrow the capacity available on their local hard drives, or their needs become more sophisticated as in the case of home theater or multimedia setups. As today's homes become more networked having local storage silos no longer makes since. The logical solution to these issue is some sort of networked storage where files are available across the network. That's where a network attached storage (NAS) server comes in.
A NAS server offers many benefits starting with the obvious one which is additional storage space. However, using a NAS server just to add more capacity is cheating yourself out of the many other benefits that can be found in most NAS devices today. Most multi-drive NAS units offer some form of redundancy through the use of RAID arrays as well as being able to stream multimedia files across the network and even act as a web server. Home office users can even take advantage of features such as defining users and groups and setting permissions on shared folders.
We've reviewed several NAS devices here at Overclockers Club that range from dual drive units up to 5-bay hot swappable units intended for small to medium sized businesses. The problem with the smaller two-bay units is they can only offer support for RAID 1 at a cost of half the available drive space. On the other end of the spectrum, the larger 4- and 5-bay units offer more features including RAID 5/6 support but the added features and speed come at a cost premium that put them beyond the typical home user's budget. Thecus has addressed this problem with the Thecus N3200PRO NAS server which is a 3-bay unit that fits neatly in between the lower-end two drive units and the more capable 4- and 5-bay units at the higher end.
Thecus Technology was founded in 2004 as a manufacturer of digital storage products. In addition the N3200PRO, Thecus offers a full range of storage products ranging from single drive enclosures all the way up to enterprise-class rackmount servers. With its product line totally devoted to storage, Thecus has focused on ease of use and making its products accessible to both novices and experts. Given that level of commitment, let's check out the N3200PRO and set what it's got to offer.
Closer Look:
The N3200PRO arrived in a sturdy cardboard shipping box which did a good job of protecting it during transit. The front and and back of the box holding the N3200PRO contain identical images of the unit featuring the tag line 'RAID 5 Comes Home' touting the unit's ability to support RAID 5 for home users since it supports up to three hard drives. One one side of the box is a graphic depicting a typical setup in a home network environment. The opposing side of the box lists some of the features of the unit.
Popping the box open we can see the unit is surrounded by closed-cell foam inserts that keep the unit securely in the center of the box with enough dead space around it to protect the unit from any shipping mishaps. Pulling everything out of the box gives you an even better idea of how well protected the unit is. Also included in the box are an external power supply and an accessories pack containing the installation CD, a Cat5e network cable and a quick install guide.
The unit also came enclosed in a plastic bag to further protect it from scratches during packing and shipping. Looking at the front of the unit you can see the top half of the unit is taken up by the front plate with ventilation grills that cover the hard drive bays. Below that is the LCM display module. Along the bottom of the unit are a front USB port and the LED status indicators. A power supply button is on the lower right bracketed by rocker switches used to change and select items on the LCM panel. Moving to the rear of the unit the first thing you notice is the large cooling fan which occupies most of the back panel. Below the fan in the lower left hand corner we see the two Gigabit Ethernet ports. Progressing left to right, we have the system reset button, a USB connection with an eSATA connection below it and the power connector. Finally, on the right side of the panel is something called the expansion port which is reserved for future expansion modules that may be released by Thecus. When we flip the unit over we can get a good look at the bottom of the case which features four rectangular rubber feet to keep the unit from slipping and to protect anything beneath it if you choose to stack the N3200PRO on top of another component.
Let's move on to the next step and see what it takes to install a set of hard drives into the unit.

We hear far too much from gurus and strategists who have consistently missed the boat. But what about those who have been on the money? I'm talking, of course, about the bulls who stood up for stocks when so many naysayers were on the sidelines.
I got hold of the latest comments of five advisors who have been bullish, sometimes wildly so, on stocks over the past couple of years — Laszlo Birinyi, James Paulsen, Craig Johnson, Mark Arbeter, and Jeremy Siegel — to see what they thought of the market now.
So, are you sitting down? All of them remain bullish, although the two technicians among them warn we could be in for a big correction. Here's what they think:

"What young girl doesn't dream of becoming a princess? Princess Debut transports girls into that magical fairytale world while introducing elements of dance and music," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume. "Princess Debut is a fun rhythm and adventure game with some of the most beautiful and fluid dancing ever seen in a DS title."
In the game, players find themselves in a fantasy world where they have 30 days to get ready for the big ball; they'll have to master their dance moves and win over one of the six handsome princes to be their partner. They'll meet and woo the princes through the game's large, branching storyline and exciting event system. Once the player convinces a prince to be their dancing partner, it's time to go out on the dance floor! Players will use the Touch Screen to guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while matching their partner's rhythm. All of the dances in the game are taken from motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just as impressive to watch as it is fun to play.
Princess Debut offers four modes of play including Story, Ballroom, Practice, and Movie. With 20 outfits to find, 14 unique endings to experience, and 18 different kinds of music and dance styles to choose from (including Waltz, Latin dance, Tango, Ballroom, and much more), there's no shortage of things to see and do!
Princess Debut will be available exclusively for the Nintendo DS this fall. For more information on Princess Debut, please visit www.natsume.com.

Three very different kinds of educators were honored at the 2010 Legacy of Freedom Awards, part of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration at Andrews University. This year's convocation and awards presentation was held on Sunday, Jan. 17, in the Seminary Chapel at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University.
Edwin Hernandez, research fellow for the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Latino Research in the Center for the Study of Latino Religion and research director for the DeVos Family Foundation of Grand Rapids, is the keynote speaker. His presentation is titled, "Keepers of the Dream: The Role of a Christian University in Race Relations."
Hernandez challenged the audience to answer the call as keepers of the dream through working to change the achievement gap within our private and public educational system. "Perhaps no other issue is as critical to the future of our country—and to realizing the dream of social equality—than education. The achievement gap is the civil rights issue of our day—a fundamentally moral issue—demanding our attention, our minds and all of our energies."
|(L-R) Bill Richardson, interim provost; Niels-Erik Andreasen,
president; Renene Price, Freedom Award recipient; and Joseph
Warren, associate professor of English and a member of the MLK
Planning Committee.
Bill Richardson, interim provost, presented this year's Freedom Awards to local educator Charlotte Groff, The Mildred C. Wells Academy of Benton Harbor and Gateway of Berrien Springs. The Legacy of Freedom Award recognizes individuals or organizations who exemplify King's values of civility and equality.
Groff, over the nearly five decades of her classroom teaching career, has creatively and energetically applied educational strategies to transform minds and redeem humanity. Her work in education has contributed to the success of thousands of students in the Michigan Migrant Program; Benton Harbor, St. Joseph and Coloma schools; Lake Michigan College and Andrews University.
Renene Price, school leader, accepted on behalf of the Mildred C. Wells Academy (MCWA), which was founded in 2005 in Benton Harbor to address America's most urgent civil rights issue: the comprehensive education of all children. Today, this unique learning environment consists of 181 students in grades K–12, 37 highly qualified adults, and a host of supportive parents, volunteers and board members.
Mary Lee Moore, executive director, accepted the award on behalf of Gateway. Established in 1974 in Berrien Springs, Gateway engages the efforts of committed local citizens to provide vocational training opportunities for special-needs children and adults. Gateway's mission statement is "to improve the quality of life and level of independence of individuals with disabilities and barriers through vocational opportunities, therapeutic services, training and other supports."

Biology alumnus heading up 10,000-acre Ohio zoo facility
Loyola press release - December 10, 2012
Rick Dietz '94 heard the call of the wild and he couldn't ignore it. The Loyola University New Orleans biology alumnus, who has been volunteering and working for the Audubon Nature Institute in New Orleans since his Loyola days, is the new vice president of The Wilds. Part of the Columbus Zoo, The Wilds is a nationally known 10,000-acre safari park and wildlife conservation facility in Southeast Ohio.
The move from New Orleans is bittersweet for Dietz, who cultivated a career of working with animals in the Crescent City. He worked his way up at the Audubon Zoo as a zookeeper in the swamp exhibit, a senior keeper, an assistant curator and finally as vice president and general curator for the Audubon Nature Institute.
"When opportunity is knocking, you have to answer the door," Dietz said. He started his new job at The Wilds this week.
Loyola professor of biological sciences David White, Ph.D., remembers the promise he saw in Dietz as a student. White remembers when Dietz signed up for a senior-level ecology class and participated in a class field trip to West Texas. "I couldn't believe Rick on that trip," White said. "He was a changed person in that field setting." White has a picture from that trip burning in his memory featuring Dietz holding a deer skull with the biggest smile on his face. It was as if Dietz had found his element, out in the field working with the animals, according to White. It was White who recommended Dietz volunteer at the Audubon Zoo.
Dietz remembers White's classes, too. "(White) was definitely inspiring and he did a great job at honing in on what that particular student really liked and kind of pushed them toward that direction," Dietz said.

It's the much-rumored Steambox, finally officially confirmed. The OS from my first post is just half of the equation. It's what the Steambox is going to run, but you can also install it on any PC. Being Linux-based there are obviously going to be problems running games that only have Windows versions so the streaming thing is something of stopgap measure, but it's not really the point. If this catches on then that means Linux versions (well, SteamOS versions but it's basically just Linux) of games will become standard.Valve released Steam for Linux a while back and there are some titles already compatible (mostly indie stuff, honestly...it's the big publishers who are reluctant to get on board). That was the first step. Then they release their own customized Linux distro (SteamOS) to the public that's optimized for gaming and finally hardware that runs it and is made to go in your living room (Steambox).
Is Valve going to be able to get the Linux community to go for closed-source, commercial products, though?
Hooray. I can finally play Ys Origins on a real console now.
Heck, I don't play a lot of XBox and so I still get confused which order the X and Y buttons are in.

I want to embed videos in posts. I like the way "Simple Video Embedder 2.2 (James Lao) works straight from the post page, but I have to edit your code to make it work (directions below). I'm not understanding which file the code goes in, nor do I relish altering your code. Please advise -- or can you suggest a video embedder that works well with Atahualpa?
Simple Video Embedder directions:
In order to show the videos, the p75GetVideo() function needs to be inserted somewhere in the loop of your theme. The function has the following prototype:
string p75GetVideo(int $post_id)
This function returns the embed code of the video for the post with ID $post_id. Note that it does not print out the embed code but returns it as a string that you must echo. There is also a function that checks whether there is a video for some post.
bool p75HasVideo(int $post_id)
This function returns true if the post with ID $post_id has a video and false otherwise. I suggest you use p75HasVideo() to check for a video, and only get the video with p75GetVideo() if it returns true.
Something similar to this should go in the main loop of your theme:
if ( p75HasVideo($post->ID) ) {
echo p75GetVideo($post->ID);
