July 2, 2012: This just in: Hey Jude…great recap. Folks can visit http://www.MikesRoadTrip.com after this epic trip is over for more coverage. Until then, don't miss our updates on http://www.BestoftheRoad.com Cheers, Mike
Did last week happen? Did The Road Bros Mike Shubic and Brian Cox actually come into Lewiston NY and eat and play their way around town?
Lee Simonson (the volunteer organizer of the volunteers-not an oxymoron, if you think about it), Tim Henderson (the guide for the CBS camera crew, contracted by the Travel Channel) and I met with Brian and Mike Wednesday for lunch to discuss the schedule for the rally and the following day. As the Road Bros official guide I fine tuned the schedule (14 hours in five minute increments-the accountant in me) and did my best to get the Bros to as many places as possible given the time constraint.

D'Avolio: http://www.davolios.com/ Mike sampled Milanese Gremolata Olive Oil mixed with Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic Vinegar. Brian sampled Garlic Olive Oil mixed with Fig Dark Balsamic Vinegar. Brian also sampled Manzanillo (from Spain) Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
They both sampled the air popped popcorn drizzled with our White Truffle Oil and White Truffle Sea Salt.
They both went away with 2 party favors: Manzanillo EVOO & 18-Year Balsamic Vinegar
Manzanillo- Robust Intensity! A huge, green olive center coupled with strawberry characteristics balance the perfect amount of bitterness & the delayed, desirable pungent finish in this Intense Manzanillo!
Milanese Gremolata- Gremolata is a traditional Italian herb condiment consisting of fresh lemon zest, minced garlic, Italian flat leaf parsley and a hint of mint. The herbs and citrus zest are typically crushed together in a mortar to release their pungent essential oils.
Garlic Olive Oil- Actually gives off the flavor of slow roasted Garlic. Since garlic and olive oil are almost always used together in Mediterranean cooking, you can use this in just about anything. This is great to mix in with pasta or mashed potatoes, to drizzle of steaks before grilling or to just dip with bread.

Target Corp warned of weak annual sales and profits on Wednesday as U.S. shoppers remain cautious and its new Canadian stores are not doing as well as anticipated.
Shares of Target fell as much as 4.1 percent to $65.14, their lowest level since March, and were down 3 percent in later trading.
Continue Reading Below
The chain, which competes against Wal-Mart Stores Inc and other discount retailers with a mix of basic goods, apparel and accessories, posted a second-quarter profit just ahead of expectations while sales missed estimates.
Target said this year's profit should come in at the low end of already reduced expectations and that sales at stores open at least a year should grow just 1 percent rather than 2 to 2.5 percent, as U.S. shoppers remain cautious in the face of ongoing household budget pressures such as higher taxes and gasoline prices.
At the same time, the Canadian business is costing more than Target anticipated and will weigh on full-year profit.
Target opened its first Canadian stores in March after announcing its plans in early 2011. That gave Target time to remodel the stores it bought from Zellers, hire and train thousands of employees and set up its supply chain, but it also gave competitors time to step up their efforts.
"The competitors have really done a good job in defending their space," said Stewart Samuel, program director at IGD Canada, pointing in particular to Wal-Mart, Loblaw Cos Ltd and Shoppers Drug Mart Corp .
Target said it needs to do a better job of advertising low prices on basic goods such as healthcare and food items that bring shoppers in often.
Expenses from Target's Canadian operation cut 21 cents per share from quarterly profit, 5 cents more than it forecast. It expects its Canadian expenses to reduce this year's earnings by 82 cents per share, up from a previous forecast of 45 cents.
"It's definitely gotten off to a slower start than the company expected," said Shawn Kravetz, president of Esplanade Capital LLC, which owns Target shares.
Target has 68 Canadian stores and plans for 124 by the end of the year.
In the United States, which remains Target's main market by far, shoppers are visiting less often. Consumer spending on homes and cars is crowding out other spending, and income growth remains weak, said Chief Executive Gregg Steinhafel.
A handful of retailers such as TJX Cos Inc along with home improvement chains have shown strength but "the rest of retail is sluggish at best," said Kravetz at Esplanade Capital. "Wal-Mart and others made it crystal clear that it is a little bit tougher out there, so that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone."
Separately, Walmart U.S. said its holiday layaway program that starts in mid-September will now be free as it gets rid of an opening fee. Layaway allows a customer to keep a product on hold at the store and pay for it over time and is also being used by chains such as Sears Holding Corp's Kmart and by Toys R Us , but not by Target.
Cowen & Co analyst Faye Landes called Walmart's layaway announcement "a shot across the bow to its competitors, and one that clearly signals intensifying competition ahead of the all-important 2013 holiday shopping season."
Data from an Ipsos poll conducted for Reuters from August 15 to August 19 showed 13 percent of respondents said they were buying more items on layaway this year than last year.
"Our customers are feeling the pinch and they are watching every penny today," Walmart U.S. Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer Duncan Mac Naughton said on Wednesday.
In May, Target, noting that shoppers were sticking to shopping lists, trimmed its fiscal-year adjusted earnings per share forecast to a range of $4.70 to $4.90 from $4.85 to $5.05. It now expects a profit near the low end of that range.
Target earned $611 million, or 95 cents per share, in the fiscal second quarter ended August 3, down from $704 million, or $1.06 per share, a year earlier.
Including the effects from opening Canadian stores but excluding other items, Target earned 97 cents per share, one penny more than analysts expected, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. Second-quarter sales rose 4 percent to $17.12 billion, missing the analysts' target of $17.26 billion.
Target's same-store sales rose 1.2 percent, below analysts' estimate of a 2.1 percent increase and its own forecast of a 2 percent to 3 percent gain. Last week, Walmart U.S. posted a 0.3 percent decline in such sales and said they were likely to be flat this quarter.

Wie breaks through in major way
Michelle Wie finally delivered a performance worthy of the attention heaped on her since she was a teenager.
Wie bounced back from a late mistake at Pinehurst No. 2 to bury a 25-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. That sent the 24-year-old from Hawaii to her first major championship Sunday in the U.S. Women's Open.
She closed with an even-par 70 for a two-shot victory over Stacy Lewis, the No. 1 player in the women's golf who made Wie work for it by making eight birdies in a round of 66.
Wie has been one of the biggest names in women's golf since she was 13 and played in the final group of a major. She now has four LPGA victories and leads the tour's money list.

Anybody else think this is very cheap? Peyton's making double what Brady is. Wow. Dude obviously took a pay cut to help his team, I guess?
http://www.nfl.com/videos/new-england-p ... deos_brady
Is Brady actually a humble guy? I can't imagine any other reason for him to sign for $9m/year when Brees and Peyton are making $20m per year and $19m per year each, respectively, with escalators.
I'm impressed.

This experience was incredible. My friend and I went looking forward to architecture and fun wine drinking and came out of the experience with so much more—our to...ur guide Luis was INCREDIBLE. He set the tone for the entire group, was super knowledgeable, funny, and met the needs of all the different personalities in our group of 16 people. Seriously if you go, I highly recommend having Luis as a guide. We also made amazing friends on the day that we later met up with and had even more Barcelona experiences with each other. The wine was great, the views were fantastic and the Basilica is gorgeous. This is a great opportunity to reach the outskirts of Barcelona and see what else the area has to offer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ask for Luis to have a guide who brings the fun and couples it with the knowledge. A great way for us to start our trip in Spain. Read moreRead less
Yes, very nice experience and lots of options to choose from. Thank you Tinggly.
Fantastic experience, good information, friendly company and a very enjoyable evening out

In the big-money world of prostitution, sometimes the names that get caught up in scandals are a big surprise. They include political figures, billionaires, CEOs, all-star athletes and celebrities. Here are some of the more notorious prostitution scandals that have made their way into the headlines over the years.

text: Hi Ellis, First of all most big clusters are really expensive forms of computing. Hardware outdates really rapidly. Most companies sell products, they hardly do research. Research is exclusively government domain, at least in most European states. If a company is carrying out research, it usually gets paid to a large degree by subsidy. Recently i was for example at treasury department organisation: www.senternovum.nl They've got big budgets (considering how tiny the nation is over here) to subsidize new initiatives. That for largest part goes to BIG companies. So majority of clusters are real generic clusters where obviously memory is extremely important. Now i'm sure you like to hear how a few companies that DO need big crunching power are doing it, but i'm not sure they all like to see it posted here. Sometimes the realization that you can put into action big calculation power for a specific area, where before nearly no crunching power was used, is already too much information for competitors. The other part of the clusters is of course big military terrain. They search for the holy grail. I'm of course in the area of public holy grail search in games (computer chess), though difference between the mathematical holy grail searchers and game tree search is not that much from absolute viewpoint seen. When searching after a holy grail, you can tolerate more errors of course, as it is about finding that lucky shot, or approaching with all kind of errors. The reason why i can tolerate errors in RAM a very little bit more than others is because i already store a CRC in the hashtables of Diep. You might call that paranoia, but that CRC checking REALLY is important. In shit case the CRC error might also come from different cores writing in the RAM, and of course it is TOO EXPENSIVE to have a lock. You can save that out by storing CRC with a simple XOR, that's way faster and really gets rid of a single bitflip easily. When i'd have 2 bitflips at 32 bits interval at the same time, now *that* would be nasty, as XOR doesn't detect that. So basically what runs usually within L1 and L2 i definitely can't tolerate errors, it would crash the applicatoin in many cases. Within the ram that stores hashtables, you can to some extend recover from errors. For the holy grail searchers, there is 2 different areas of course. One area is the real number crunching types where everything is embarrassingly parallel. There is usually not too big RAM requirements, so everything runs exclusively within L1/L2. These guys really are power hungry and most of them won't have what you even would be able to call a cluster. It's just some sort of specialized monster machine with special programmed or special designed hardware. If you'd calculate effectively the number of gflops per dollar of what these guys get with nowadays gpu's, that's of course really cheap compared to the classical definition of a cluster. Yet again all these classical clusters have an ECC requirement simply. Know 1 researcher who is redoing an application and also gets it granted to do a research a second time in order to check whether some calculation mistake of the hardware messed up? Not at all, there is good examples of some round off error produced by old clusters, that gave some difference to existing quantum mechanica, to explain that by adding a new theory to it. Of course 30 years later refuted by someone who FINALLY did do a recalculation in a correct manner and didn't get that round off error and concluded that the result he actually saw was for a change a CORRECT result and that the error the others had in the quantum mechanica theory was caused by amateurism of a whole generation of researchers, most of them seen by society as really clever. The best researcher you can easily fool with hardware, simply because that's not necessarily his expertise or his expectation that it makes a mistake. If you're gonna calculate at hundreds of cores, you sure get some bitflips in RAM. ECC is a requirement then. They don't have 15 years of time like i had for my chess software, to build in a CRC check myself, as of course majority of 'users machines' don't have ECC memory.

I am planning to work with a biotinylated alpha-bungarotoxin to label nAChR on slices of amphibian brains. Now I have got one problem. Here in Germany it is adviced to keep the anti-venin against the venom of bungarus multicinctus right in reach due to security data sheets. Up to now it has been impossible for me to find a supplier from whome I could buy this serum. Do anybody have some experience with buying anti-venins against different venoms or do have anybody the address of a supplier I can contact. I would be very grateful for any hint. Markus Wallstein

Text is full of thin strokes of 1 or 2 pixels (until you get to larger font sizes). If you do a couple or more pixels of blur, you lose the shape.

For other shapes, you would either have to do a true vector stroke (see how Adobe Illustrator does path stroking, for instance, with limits on how pointy a corner can get), or live with the rounding. I feel rounding of the corners of the text shadow is not that bad, if that is what is required to get spread. It is not that noticeable if the effect is being used to simulate a drop shadow. If you are using it to get a thick outline, then that doesn't work as well. Do you want authors to have control of the corner treatment (rounded vs. mitre etc)? It feels to me that this is more like a text stroke than a shadow spread. I think it would have to be implemented by the UA in terms of stroking the glyphs before casting the shadow, so the corner behavior is important. SimonReceived on Wednesday, 2 March 2011 04:27:35 UTC

DirecTV is one of the top competitors of the game. Based in El Segundo California, DirecTV uses direct satellite broadcasting to provide TV programs to their customers. Being a television provider to over 20 million subscribers, this TV network giant is worthy of our consideration.
In order for us to have a uniform and objective comparison between networks, I would like to propose six criteria to be used in this, and future reviews; namely channels, technology, availability, reception, after-sales support, and affordability. These criteria are the basic factors that consumers consider when subscribing for a TV network. For a network to be the best, it would have to excel on all of these aspects.
I will be judging each criterion based on this scoring system:
1- Bad
2- So-so
3- Fair
4- Good
5- Excellent
To begin, I would like to look on the bread and butter of TV networks which are channels.
Like basketball is to shooting, TV provision is all about the channels. Many would argue that there are other important factors such as rebounding, passing, and stamina; but scoring is the name of the game. So are channels in TV. In terms of quantity, DirecTV offers a great number of channels ranging from 140-285; second only to other giants such as Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse. But when it comes to channels, we do not just judge based on the quantity. What good are channels if no one's watching them? A good channel selection must provide quality shows. DirecTV is one of, if not indeed, the best in terms of quality. It offers the most number of exclusive and HD channels in a basic package. You will not be getting this kind of basic selection with other networks. I think DirecTV is great in this aspect; hence the 4 out of 5.
This aspect is very important as, aside from being cool, added functionality allows us to truly enjoy our entertainment systems without the hassles brought about by our demanding lifestyle. In this aspect, we will consider the gadgets and software support that the network offers. In my experience, I am confident to say that DirecTV is the best in this category. The heart of a TV network system in a household is the DVR. Though all DVR's can do the same, record shows, manage multiple TV's and allows smartphone management, I'm here to tell you that the DirecTV HD DVR does them all best. It offers the best picture quality, best time recording, and most mobile application support like HBO Go. I'm giving DirecTV a perfect 5 on this area.
So what good is a TV network if it's unavailable? Surely, you wouldn't move to another apartment just to have the network; nor would you stop from moving into a place just because the network is unavailable in the new location. You would not have to worry about this with DirecTV. As was mentioned at the beginning, DirecTV uses direct satellite broadcasting. This means that it can reach you anywhere in the USA. DirecTV also offers service in other countries such as Brazil, China, South Korea, Philippines, Russia, Vietnam, and other countries in southern Asia. It will be of little surprise if DirecTV goes global soon. With excellent satellite broadcasting, DirecTV is getting 5 out of 5.
This area is the significant half of availability. You cannot truly consider one available if you can hardly see the program on your screen. Like GPS, DirecTV reception rarely experiences problems. And, like GPS, being surrounded by tall buildings or high terrains can really be a pain as they can, at times, block the incoming satellite signal. DirecTV's reception is not bad, but I would take direct Fibre Optic connection anytime. DirecTV's satellite broadcasting is getting 3 out of 5.
When it all has been said and done, it all comes down to the price. Even if the service is great, a bad price can really change your mind. DirecTV currently offers the following price plans:
$29 - 140 channels
$34 - 150 channels
$39 - 205 channels
$44 - 225 channels
$89 - 285 channels
Not the cheapest selection in town. But as was previously discussed in the channels category, even the basic $29 plan offers a good selection of HD channels. So you really are getting the most bang for your buck. And with zero start-up cost, you really are saving money with DirecTV. There are also other options to lessen the subscription bill if you know where to look. For instance, you can check some DirecTV promotions.

Forecasters say weekend storm could drop more than 1 foot of snow in some areas
Todd Gutner has an updated WBZ-TV weather forecast.
National Weather Service forecasters say a storm that is expected to hit Massachusetts this weekend could dump more than a foot of snow in some areas.
Noting that the storm is still three to four days away, the forecasters said there's a high probability of a "significant coastal storm'' but there's also "high uncertainty'' on what type of precipitation will fall — rain or snow — and what locations will be hit hardest.
"Locations that remain all snow have the potential for 1-plus foot of snowfall,'' the forecasters said in a discussion posted on the Web.
They warned of possible power outages if heavy, wet snow falls at the same time the state is swept by strong winds.
The storm would bring mixed precipitation on Saturday night as far north as the Massachusetts Turnpike, but the wintry mix or rain could change back to snow Sunday morning and drop accumulating snow Sunday morning and afternoon, the discussion said.
"There is a growing potential for a plowable snow event this weekend,'' said meteorologist Bill Simpson. The supercomputer models used to predict the weather "are strongly hinting at something,'' he said.
It would be the third weekend in a row that has featured a snowstorm. The storm would follow the Blizzard of 2013 earlier this month and a smaller but still annoying snowstorm last weekend.
David Epstein, Boston.com weather blogger and meteorologist,predicted a plowable snow event over northern and central New England, but said the forecast was uncertain along the coast.
Meanwhile, winds are expected to decrease tonight, with lows settling back into the lower 20s to mid-teens.
Partly sunny skies are expected Thursday, with temperatures in the lower 30s to upper 20s. Seasonable temperatures and dry weather are also expected for Friday and early Saturday.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With the Pen E-PL5, Olympus updates its range of micro 4:3 compact hybrids with redesigned ergonomics, upgraded electronics, and especially with the integration of the same 16Mpix LiveMos sensor found in the OM-D E-M5. Will it show the same advances in image quality as the flagship camera of its line? Our tests provide the answer.
The NEX-F3 is one of three Sony mirrorless camera models released in 2012, and it's the company's eighth since the launch of the NEX line in 2010. The NEX-F3 borrows heavily from higher-end models, but also taps much of the technology found in its predecessor. So is there any big evolution in sensor quality for the NEX-F3? Or were most of the changes to the camera cosmetic? DxOMark has some answers.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
Today, Sony announced the SLT Alpha 57. This new model replaces the one and a half years old SLT A55 translucent mirror DSLR. comes with some interesting improvements in particular for its continuous shooting and auto focus.
When the Sony A77 was announced a couple of weeks ago as a replacement for the Sony Alpha 700, Sony's semi-professional APS-C camera, we were all very impressed by its specifications. So we were really excited to see how it would perform in our tests.
Here are our results.
The EOS 600D looks much like the EOS 550D, which, however, it does not replace. Both bodies will remain in Canon's lineup. The 600D utilizes most of the 550D's hardware features, including its 18-megapixel sensor; it adds an articulated screen, along with the "beginners" functions and creative filters first seen on the EOS 60D. In a way, the EOS 600D results from the fusion of the EOS 550D and the EOS 60D.

With the Bears managing carefully the concussion suffered by quarterback Jay Cutler, linebacker Brian Urlacher reiterated Thursday that he'd lie about a concussion to stay on the field.
He also questioned the effectiveness of new helmets at preventing brain trauma, and contended that the league wasn't as safety conscious as they'd tell you, since they aren't taking measures to outlaw cut blocks. Urlacher made similar statements about lying about concussions last year, but said Thursday he wasn't worried about his future, since he only suffered one major concussion, which knocked him out for "a couple plays."
He also said cut blocks are a bigger deal than concussions, using a rationale that frankly undercuts the current stance on head injuries.
"Huge because a knee injury can put you out for a season," Urlacher said. "A concussion you may miss a game or two. Huge difference."
"I think they shouldn't allow cut blocks because our knees are important to us too," Urlacher said. "I know concussions are a big deal too but I think cut blocks are a big deal but that seems to be OK with the NFL so they're not too concerned about safety. They're concerned about long-term concussions but immediately they are not concerned about your knees or your ankles or anything like that. I think that should be an issue.
"Concussions are taking care of themselves. It's a big deal to everyone because of all of the older players coming back and saying they're all messed up now. That's definitely an issue but I think the cut blocks need to be a big issue as well."
Other players might disagree, such as former teammate Hunter Hillenmeyer, who retired after five concussions. But Urlacher made it a question of individual responsibility.
"That's why you gotta judge if you don't want to play," Urlacher said. "Don't want to get concussed, don't play. It's your career, it's your life. You have to make that decision on your own. Some guys have shut it down because of that. That's the value of after football, I guess. If I got concussed a lot, I probably wouldn't keep playing."
While it's not an attitude that follows with conventional wisdom, it's probably a popular view among a segment of players, and one that helps keep the game going.

Studies in Cell Transplantation investigate oxygen's impact as a factor in transplantation
Putnam Valley, NY (Nov. 15, 2012)—Two studies published in the current issue of Cell Transplantation (21:7), now freely available on-line at http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/cog/ct/, investigate the role of oxygen in cell transplantation.
In a study carried out at Baylor University, researchers concerned about the poor efficacy of islet cell transplantation during pancreas preservation and islet isolation have found that low temperatures can prevent hypoxia (low oxygen) that can damage islet cells. In a second study, Brazilian researchers found that neural cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells generated from skin fibroblasts of a schizophrenic patient show extra oxygen consumption and elevated levels of "reactive oxygen species."
Low temperature prevents hypoxia-induced damage
According to a Baylor University, Texas research team, a major problem in islet cell transplantation is the poor condition of islet cells attributed to hypoxia during cell preservation and isolation.
"Islet cells are highly sensitive to hypoxic conditions," said study coauthor Dr. Shinichi Matsumoto of the Baylor Research Institute's Islet Cell Laboratory. "We hypothesized that low temperature conditions could prevent hypoxia-induced islet cell damage since cold conditions prevented the release of high levels of high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)."
Studies related to developing better results are limited, said the researchers, although cold preservation has been applied. In this study, carried out using mouse models, the research team stored islets at 37°C, 22°C, and 4°C. Results showed that the islets stored at 4°C "showed significantly higher insulin secretion" when compared to those stored at 37°C.
"This proved that hypothermic conditions could maintain the islets' ability to secrete insulin, even when exposed to hypoxic damage," said Matsumoto.
HMGB1 has been shown to play a role in response to tissue damage, so the researchers also examined HMGB1 expression and the amount of HMGB1 released from each group of islets. They demonstrated that the islets at 37°C upregulated HMGB1 mRNA, although this was prevented by low-temperature conditions. Conversely, the amount of released HMGB1 was "significantly decreased in the cells at 4°C."
The researchers concluded that correspondingly low-temperature conditions can prevent hypoxic islet cell damage and that low levels of HMGB1 released from islets might reduce inflammatory responses after transplantation.
"Maintaining low temperature conditions during islet isolation should improve the efficacy of islet isolation in a clinical setting," said the researchers.
Citation: Itoh, T.; Sugimoto, K.; Takita, M.; Shimoda, M.; Chujo, D.; SoRelle, J. A.; Naziruddin, B.; Levy, M. F.; Matsumoto, S. Low temperature condition prevents hypoxia-induced islet cell damage and hmgb1 release in a mouse model. Cell Transplant. 21(7):1361–1370; 2012.
Altered oxygen metabolism associated with iPS cells derived from schizophrenic patient
Researchers found that neural cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) generated from skin fibroblasts of a schizophrenic patient demonstrated a twofold increase in extra-mitochondrial oxygen consumption as well as elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Their work could contribute to a better understanding of schizophrenia's development as a neurodevelopmental disease, they said.
"Brain mitochondria play a key role in neuroenergetics," said study coauthor Dr. Stevens K. Rehen of Brazil's National Laboratory for Embryonic Stem Cell Research. "They are essential regulators of reactive oxygen species (ROS) homeostasis, among other processes. Understanding the role of oxygen metabolism in both the diseased brain and throughout development is critical to elucidating pathophysiological mechanisms in psychiatric disorders."
According to the research team, the use of oxygen consumption as an index of oxidative metabolism has been applied for decades and revealed important mechanisms and enzyme activities.
When researchers investigated oxygen consumption and ROS level changes in neural cells derived from the reprogrammed fibroblasts of a schizophrenic patient, their analysis showed "altered extra-mitochondrial oxygen consumption associated with an increase in the levels of ROS."
Our results provide the first evidence of a developmental metabolic alteration in schizophrenia, which can be reverted by pharmacological intervention since the neuroenergetic failure in increased ROS production may have emerged during neural differentiation," said Rehen.
They concluded that not only might metabolic changes during neurogenesis contribute to the development of schizophrenia, but might also represent an important target for treatment.

Known only from the highly logged Lendu Plateau, Kinyongia gyrolepis may already be severely threatened!
A new chameleon species, named Kinyongia gyrolepis, has just been described from the Lendu Plateau of northeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on the west side of Lake Albert. It is only known from an area that has been heavily logged and may be severely threatened as a result as the primary forests in the area are essentially gone.
Kinyongia gyrolepis is the sister species to Kinyongia adolfifriderici and superficially looks very similar. Its name, however, is a reference to the enlarged circular scales that are found on its flanks, a trait not seen in Kinyongia adolfifriderici.

This has necessitated many many hours trolling autotrader.com, carmax.com, usedcars.com, swapalease.com and bestcarpurchase.com, followed by more hours talking to Shawn, Geremy, and Akbar.
I have been variously drawn to the Mitsubishi Eclipse, the Toyota Solara, the Nissan Altima, and the Honda Accord. I have learned about leasing vs. buying. I have considered sunroofs, leather, Bose speakers, and highway vs. city miles. I have been saddened to discover that unless you buy a sports car, it's practically impossible these days to find a manual transmission (my beloved Celica's a 5-speed).

Start by carefully considering what you think you want. Then weigh your wish list against what you'll probably pay to fulfill it. Identifying goals and thinking through available options will force some decisions—and also help you set a budget cap.
Good fences cost good money. Though some homeowners opt to DIY the job, most count on fence builders to help with the design and handle the construction. We found some in the area that were highly rated by their customers; unfortunately, we also found some that weren't held in high regard at all. And our mystery shoppers discovered huge price differences among companies bidding on the same job.
Begin by reviewing and deciding on fence type, materials, finish, height, spacing and width of slats, and post size. Also decide whether you want extras such as latticework or an electronic gate. Most fence builders provide catalogs you can examine.
Are you ready for a kitchen makeover? Here's advice on planning your space, finding the right designers, suppliers, and contractors, and getting good prices.
When the time comes for a kitchen redo, you certainly should go with finishes and fixtures that you love. But make sure they fit current and up-and-coming cabinet and countertop trends before signing any contracts or swinging a demo hammer.
Countertop materials range from wood to plastics to metal to stone. Manufactured quartz—formed from stone chips, resins, and pigments—is edging out natural stone materials in popularity, thanks in part to its durability and its availability in zillions of colors.

Formation and Education for the Life of the Church
Many of our students pursue degrees on a part-time basis and
live several hours away from campus. Realizing that you have other
responsibilities - family, full-time work, parish and community
involvement, etc. - we provide a variety of course formats that fit
into your busy life.
We do not offer a complete distance-learning degree; you must
earn at least 25 percent of your degree credits through courses
that meet on campus.
Click here to view upcoming weekend, online, and
other alternative-format courses [pdf]
This traditional course format requires you to live within
regular commuting distance from our campus. You study side-by-side
with seminarians for the duration of the fall or spring terms. Core
classes generally meet on Tuesdays and Fridays or Mondays and
Thursdays; electives are generally Monday, Tuesday or Thursday
This is the primary course format if you live some distance from
Saint Meinrad. Weekend courses consist of three all-day
Saturday-Sunday weekends (with a break on Sunday for Mass), roughly
one per month for three months. On-campus weekend housing is
This compressed format gives you the same amount of classroom
time as a conventional weekly course, but it requires being on
campus only one weekend per month. We offer weekend courses
year-round, during each of our four terms. In many courses, you
will use our online learning platform to post readings and interact
with others in your class between weekends.
We designed Intensive Residency Courses to economize travel and
provide opportunities for an extended stay. Intensive courses often
are scheduled during January or the summer, and usually meet for a
total of seven days of instruction.
These courses, taught entirely online using our online learning
platform, are offered in the spring, summer and fall terms. Online
courses have weekly scheduled assignments and promote peer
interaction. Course designs may vary; some courses run parallel to
on-campus courses and include video lectures. Most courses are
asynchronous, meaning you do not need to be online at a certain
time each week.
Web-hybrid courses are a combination of an online and a
weekend-format class. Like the online courses, they use our online
learning platform. Additionally, you travel to our campus for some
time of instruction. Up to two Web-hybrid courses count as
on-campus coursework; additional Web-hybrid courses are considered
If you have academic or pastoral interests not specifically
addressed by available courses, or you have extraordinary
circumstances that prevent you from enrolling in another course
format, you may make arrangements with a professor to set up a
directed independent study, either in an area of interest or to
complete a regularly offered course.
You are welcome to transfer credits you have earned at other
accredited schools, assuming the course is applicable to your
degree curriculum. We generally accept up to 15 credits toward your
Saint Meinrad degree.

Alaska's north coast and ocean waters are teeming with species found in few other places, and many of them are now under threat. The Western Arctic Reserve and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge provide critical denning areas for polar bears, support vast caribou herds and are essential nesting grounds for thousands of bird species, including threatened eiders and yellow-billed loons. The sea ice of the Arctic Ocean is hunting and denning habitat for polar bears and a foraging platform for Pacific walrus and numerous Arctic ice seal species. Under the sea ice, endangered bowhead whales and other whale species live off the biological richness of the Arctic Ocean.
Offshore Oil Development
Over the last half-decade, the Center and allies have been very successful in blocking offshore oil development in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas through a series of lawsuits.
In February 2013, Shell Oil announced today that it wouldn't drill for oil in the Arctic off Alaska that year. The oil giant had planned to drill several exploratory wells in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. Several setbacks, including the grounding of its Kulluk drilling rig, failure of its oil spill response containment dome and the Coast Guard's discovery of numerous safety violations on its Noble Discoverer drilling rig, prompted Shell to delay its plans. In April ConocoPhillips also announced it would halt drilling plans; it had been going to drill in Alaska's Chukchi Sea in 2014. Statoil, another company with leases in the Alaskan Arctic, put its drilling plans on hold too.
Earlier, in 2009, a federal court had thrown out a Bush-era five-year plan for offshore development because it ignored the Arctic's environmental sensitivity; in 2010 we won a court order stopping drilling activities in the Chukchi Sea due to poor environmental review; and in 2011 we successfully challenged Shell's air permits. As a result, Shell Oil, slated to drill in the Arctic every year since 2007, had not been granted permission to stick its drills in the water — until August 2012. However, Shell's failure to demonstrate it could contain an oil spill in the Arctic Ocean forced it to abandon, for that year, its controversial drilling plans.
And in the wake of the BP Gulf disaster, we put pressure on the government to reject BP's plans to drill the world's longest horizontal well in the Arctic Ocean via a project it dubbed "Liberty." Thanks in large part to our pressure, BP has postponed Liberty. Also in the wake of the BP disaster, we filed a notice of intent to sue the U.S. Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency for authorizing an inadequate oil-spill response plan for Alaska, including rubberstamping the use of toxic oil dispersants harmful to wildlife. The government agencies heeded the warning and have begun the necessary environmental review.
But the struggle to save the Arctic Ocean is far from over. The Center and our allies continue to battle it out in court, while at the same time pressing for a permanent halt on offshore drilling in all U.S. waters, starting in Alaska.

Fair trade
This Communication aims to launch the process for the development of the Community's position on fair trade.
Communication from the Commission to the Council of 29 November 1999 on 'fair trade' [COM(1999) 619 final - Not published in the Official Journal].
The promotion of fair trade comes under the framework of the Community's broader objectives in relation to development cooperation, in other words the fight against poverty, economic and social development and, in particular, the gradual integration of developing countries into the world economy.
Trade has a fundamental role to play in the creation of wealth and thus development. This communication is a first stage in the development of the Community's position on this matter.
Definition of fair trade
The concept of fair trade applies in general to trade operations which strengthen the economic position of small-scale producers and landowners in order to ensure that they are not marginalised in the world economy. It mainly relates to developing countries and, under the present communication, covers two main aspects:
This concept has long-term development in mind. Participation in initiatives on fair trade is voluntary for both sellers and consumers.
It is important to note that the concept of 'fair trade' is not the same as that of 'ethical trade'. 'Ethical trade' usually relates to the operating methods of companies present in the country (codes of conduct, for example).
Fair trade in practice
Fair trade goods are always made available to consumers through private initiatives. The practical implementation of fair trade has changed considerably over the years.
The traditional fair trade movement
The concept was originally developed by non-governmental organisations (NGOs). The philosophy is based upon precise principles and was originally applied by alternative trading organisations often started by churches, charities, etc. The organisations are involved in every stage (sourcing, production, etc.) and the profits are often devoted to development causes. The products are not always labelled.
Labelling initiatives
Since the end of the 1980s, normal commercial companies (supermarkets, etc.) have been more likely to be involved in fair trade initiatives and the products are marketed according to the usual rules.
In this regard, systems for labelling products were introduced in order to ensure their authenticity. There are several fair trade labels ('Fairtrade Mark', etc.) and each has a certification agency which verifies all the stages in the production process to ensure that the product respects fair trade principles. The certification bodies also set the criteria that must be respected in order for a product to carry a fair trade label. These criteria are harmonised at international level. All the labels are members of the FLO (Fair Trade Labelling Organisations International) which is responsible for coordination at EU and international level.
Producers and importers who have been assessed as complying with the fair trade criteria are included in international fair trade registers. Fair trade labelling schemes are financed by licence fees paid by importers and traders. These fees are related to turnover and volume of sales.
European Union and fair trade
Fair trade accounts for a relatively substantial proportion of consumption in Europe. In 1997, the turnover in the EU of fair trade products was estimated to be in the region of EUR 200 to 250 million. Overall, 11% of the EU population buy fair trade products and surveys show that there is high demand for such products.
The EU has already implemented initiatives concerning fair trade, including European Parliament resolutions and financing of NGOs, labelling bodies and projects in developing countries. With regard to legislation, the Union implements these principles through various instruments, particularly measures concerning the EU's generalised system of preferences. Some of these regulations on fair trade benefit fair trade goods by facilitating their access to the Community market.
International community
The international community has recognised the important role played by fair trade in the development of poorer countries. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has concluded that initiatives in this field do not represent an obstacle to the liberalisation of markets since they do not impose import restrictions or other forms of protectionism. They are thus in line with the general principles of the world economy.
The Commission identifies certain problems that should be addressed in order to ensure the continued success of fair trade initiatives. This involves ensuring greater consistency between the policies of the actors at various levels and establishing a legal definition of the concept as well as the criteria involved. Efforts should also be made to improve the substantiation, verification and control of fair trade products so as to allow consumers to make properly informed choices. In addition, consumers must be better informed about fair trade and dialogue should be continued with the movement, through the creation of a formal platform for example.

Sherburne-Earlville Middle School
Location: Sherburne, New York
No. of Students in School: 450
Teacher: Tanya E. Schnabl
No. of Years Teaching: 14
Grade: 6th
Subject: Language Arts
No. of Students in the Classroom: 15
Middle School is located 15 minutes from Colgate University
in rural New York state. The school building houses both the
middle school (450 students in grades six to eight) and the
high school, each with its own principal. Sherburne's school
district covers the largest area of any in the state. Historically,
the region has relied on farming for its economic base and,
although a few of the school's families are employed at the
university or nearby Proctor & Gamble, many others live
on working farms or in trailers. Students often have to help
with chores before school or to babysit siblings in the afternoon
until a parent arrives home. Approximately 47 percent qualify
for free or reduced-price lunch. As is typical of the region,
minorities make up only one or two percent of the student
body. Despite the wide range of family incomes, people describe
Sherburne as a close-knit, friendly town with a strong sense
of community. The school actively encourages the involvement
of families in their children's education, and they have recently
begun a family literacy program to improve the reading skills
of parents and other relatives.
to standardized tests administered at the end of eighth grade,
Sherburne-Earlville is a typical rural school for that area.
The school climate, however, is vibrant, and both the faculty
and the administration are committed to their students. Over
the past several years, Sherburne has hired additional language
arts teachers to reduce class sizes to the current 10 to 16
students per section. The school now hopes to do the same
with the other core subjects. Classes generally meet for 80-minute
periods every other day, but in Fall 2001 sixth-graders began
having 80 minutes of language arts every day. For the first
time, the school instituted heterogeneous class groupings.
Every classroom has four computers with Internet connections.
In addition, Sherburne-Earlville has worked to provide teachers
with the tools they need in the classroom - for instance,
by assigning them to interdisciplinary teams that share a
small subset of the larger student population. Teams meet
two or three times a week to brainstorm possibilities for
integration and cross-curricular collaboration, discuss the
welfare of their students, and share their support for one
another. The school also joins with representatives from the
local elementary and high schools to map a cohesive curriculum
across grade levels.
the framework established by the school, teachers are free
to design their own curricula. For Tanya Schnabl in her sixth-grade
language arts class, the only mandate is that students must
have 10 polished pieces of writing in their portfolio by the
end of the year. Schnabl is a proponent of using literature
to enhance a study of history and cultures. In 2001, in collaboration
with a social studies teacher, she helped her students orchestrate
a Greek festival, an Egyptian funeral procession, and a feudal
feast. The culmination of extended study, these celebrations
were held after school to allow families to attend. The final
cross-curricular activity of the year involved math, science,
social studies, and language arts classes as students assessed
the impact of a proposed dam and met at a mock town council
meeting to lobby for or against its construction. Schnabl
enlists parents in their children's learning through frequent
notes or phone calls. She also involves students in assessing
their own academic performance, asking them to evaluate their
work according to a rubric and to determine what they would
have to do to "bump it up" a grade.

IRVINE — There is a difference between missed opportunities and blown opportunities. And, based on the decibel level of UC Irvine baseball coach Mike Gillespie's postgame address to his players, the latter had more to do with the Anteaters' 2-1 Big West Conference loss to visiting Cal State Northridge on Saturday.
It was the Matadors' first win at Anteater Ballpark since 2005, as they had lost 10 straight at UCI.
UCI (22-9, 4-4 in conference), which is now 11-7 in games decided by two or fewer runs, failed to get a hit in six at-bats with runners in scoring position.
The most glaring failure to execute came in the second inning, after a hit batter, a Scott Gottschling single and a successful sacrifice bunt by Mikey Duarte put runners on second and third with one out.
Kris Paulino then flied out to medium left field. And though Matador outfielder Kyle Ferramola threw to third base, in essence conceding a run had Jerry McClanahan tagged up, McClanahan was held by third-base coach Pat Shine.
Gillespie, however, had no quibble with Shine's decision. Rather, he lamented Paulino's inability to hit a ground ball to the middle infielders that were playing back to concede the run.
Chris Rabago followed with a groundout to the pitcher and Cal State Northridge (19-16, 5-3) converted the momentum to tie the score in the top of the third. The visitors parlayed three singles into a run off UCI starting pitcher Matt Whitehouse, who battled valiantly without his best velocity, Gillespie said.
The Matadors led off the fourth and fifth innings with doubles, but Whitehouse left both stranded at third. He induced an inning-ending 4-6-3 double play in the fifth.
Whitehouse, who fell to 3-3, left two more runners stranded in the sixth, but couldn't dodge a leadoff triple in the seventh by Michael Najera. Najera scored on a single by Michael Livingston to give Northridge starter Calvin Copping his third win in six decisions.
Whitehouse finished with eight strikeouts, while walking two.
Copping allowed seven hits and no walks in 7 2/3 innings. DJ Milam recorded the final four outs for his first save.
Sam Moore pitched three shutout relief innings for UCI, allowing two hits, striking out one and walking one.
Sophomore third baseman Taylor Sparks went two for four to lead the hosts, for whom five other players had singles.
UCI scored in the first when Connor Spencer singled with two outs, went to second on a wild pitch, went to third on Sparks' single, then came home on a wild pitch.
Back-to-back singles by Rabago and Sparks put runners at first and second with one out in the fifth for UCI. But a fielder's choice and a groundout to the shortstop ended the threat.
"[Copping] pitched well and it was a good ballgame if you were the winner," Gillespie said. "We missed some chances and we had some things that just weren't done right."
The two teams play the rubber game of the three-game series on Sunday at 1 p.m.
