Before the 2011 season, the Eagles brought in Jim Washburn and then Jason Babin—who's only ever thrived in Washburn's 4-3. It worked well for a year, when Babin recorded a team-record 18 sacks. Like everything else defensive-related in Philly this year though, the D-line play has gone to shit. The Eagles released Babin a month ago, and fired Washburn soon after.
Now with the Jaguars, Babin addressed the Titans media today. He had some not-so-kind things to say about the Eagles, which is only fair play—it's an organization that's not shy about smearing players like him on their way out. And Babin, who has in the past relied on fake Hitler quotes to make his policy points, again goes sociopolitical.
"[T]hey don't have amicable splits with people. You saw how dirty they did Washburn with leaking out the false stories and the way they talked about him on the way out. It's kind of a big socialistic system that they have. I didn't really care."
Babin goes on to cite a secret D-line "consultant" that the front office used to undermine Washburn, but that's just how commie pinko franchises do business.

Eugenio Derbez is scared. Very scared. You can see it in his eyes. You can hear it in the edge of nervous excitement that creeps into his voice as he slides into a seat at the Urth Caffé in downtown Los Angeles.
"I didn't expect this," he says. "I'm overwhelmed. And I'm excited, but at the same time I'm scared. Very scared."
In truth, he sounds more ecstatic than apprehensive, and with good reason. He has just arrived from an interview with Larry King. In a few hours he'll be flying to New York to be a guest on Jimmy Fallon's late-night show, on which he'll talk about his film "Instructions Not Included." The low-budget, bilingual comic drama, about a boyishly charming Acapulco playboy struggling with first-time fatherhood, that Derbez co-wrote, directed and stars in has surprised the industry, grossing $20 million in two weeks.
Suddenly, Derbez, 52 — who's so popular in his native Mexico that his wedding last year was broadcast on national television, but whose name would elicit puzzled stares from most Americans — seems to be on the verge of the stateside success he's been panting after for a dozen years.
He's even contemplating the once-unthinkable: uprooting his new bride, the singer Alessandra Rosaldo, and moving to L.A. so he can brush up his English and continue his long-planned conquest of the U.S. market.
"Instructions Not Included" is more than a personal triumph. It's shaping up as a commercial breakthrough for Pantelion Films, a 3-year-old joint venture of Lions Gate Entertainment and Grupo Televisa, the broadcast company that dominates Mexican television, and a cultural harbinger.
Entertainment companies, media outlets and advertising agencies have increasingly devoted resources to capturing a share of the growing Spanish-dominant and bilingual audience, but the objective has proved elusive. Several of Pantelion's previous releases, including "Girl in Progress" with Eva Mendes, "No Eres Tú, Soy Yo" (It's Not You, It's Me) — which also starred Derbez — and the Will Ferrell Spanish-language comedy "Casa de Mi Padre," underwhelmed at the box office.
With "Instructions," the company appears to have hit on a successful combination, both on screen and in its marketing strategy. Part of that strategy involved giving Derbez full creative rein, a Pantelion executive says.
"It's been his baby for years," says Paul Presburger, Pantelion's chief executive. From his years of working in film and television on both sides of the border, Derbez "knows what his audience is looking for."
Presburger says that Pantelion mounted a bilingual advertising campaign for the movie, both on Univision, the giant U.S. Spanish-language TV network, and with billboard, radio and print advertising in English and Spanish.
"The Latino audience is living in the Spanish-language world, on Univision," Presburger says, "but they're also watching everything else that the general market is watching." So far in the United States, the movie has been attracting a largely Spanish-dominant audience, Presburger says. "The reality is that the general market is fearful of subtitles."
But as the movie is released on more screens — it nearly doubled its number last weekend, to 717 nationwide, and will have more this weekend — it is reaching a larger general-market audience, Presburger says. The movie is scheduled to open later this month in Mexico on at least 1,000 screens, a virtually unheard-of figure in that country for a non-Hollywood blockbuster.
The movie adheres to a time-tested comic premise: After years of blissful, promiscuous hedonism as a Mexican beach bum, Valentín (Derbez) is forced to settle down and move to Los Angeles when one of his conquests, a free-spirited blond American named Julie (Jessica Lindsey), turns up at his front door and leaves him with his baby daughter, Maggie (Loreto Peralta).
"The film is slightly based on my life," Derbez concedes. "I was afraid of commitment. I was afraid of fatherhood. And it's ironic, but after my whole life being afraid of commitment, when finally we got the budget to shoot the movie, I faced my fears and I decided to get married."
Derbez has maintained at least one lifelong commitment: acting. His mother, Silvia Derbez, was a Mexican soap opera star, and her son started performing on television at age 12. "She was the queen of the soap operas in Mexico, so I grew up on the sets with my mom. Since I was like 5 years old I was in love with the set, with show business."
He started out landing roles in telenovelas and in a children's TV program. Later he graduated to Mexican comedy series, feature films and also did theater, which would lead to a career turning point in 2005 when he was cast in the stereotype-busting Broadway show "Latinologues," his first time acting in English.
Slowly, Derbez's stateside career gained momentum. He played a migrant worker in "Under the Same Moon," a store owner in "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and a gardener in Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill."
At the same time, likely unbeknown to most of his English-speaking followers, he was starring in "La Familia P. Luche," a dysfunctional-family TV comedy that is one of the most popular programs in Mexico.
After his mother died in 2002, Derbez took stock of his life and realized he'd grown bored. He resolved to take some new risks, including studying English so that he could land jobs in Hollywood.
A key to the new movie's comic appeal, and its ample pathos, is the rapport between Derbez and Peralta, who turned 8 while the film was being shot. Derbez says the role originally was written for a boy. But after a casting search failed to turn up a blond, blue-eyed boy or girl who spoke perfect English and Spanish, Derbez in desperation started posting the role's job description on his Twitter account.
That yielded Peralta, a Mexico City resident who picked up English during summer camping trips to the U.S. and whose screen presence evokes a less self-conscious Dakota Fanning. The chemistry clicked immediately, says Derbez. "We were like, really, a father and a daughter."
Initially, Derbez didn't want to get behind the camera, because he thought it would be tempting disaster to direct and act simultaneously. But when he tried out other potential directors, he says, they wanted to change too many things in the script.
Eventually he realized he had to direct it himself, whatever the risks. Those included a scene in which his character leaps from a 13-story balcony into a swimming pool, and another sequence in which he's attired as a clown.
"Imagine me like a clown and saying, 'Do this! Do that! Blah, blah, blah!' You can't have authority when you are dressed as a clown."
On the contrary: The clown prince of Mexican comedy is becoming an authoritative figure in Hollywood.

In a case of a family that grows together goes to court together, a mother, her daughter and the daughter's partner all face drugs charges following a successful operation by Waikato Police today.
Hamilton Tactical Coordinator, Senior Sergeant Freda Grace said City officers conducted simultaneous searches of homes in Pukete and Tokoroa this morning.
"The search warrants related to illegal cultivation of cannabis and resulted in considerable success with 56 large, mature cannabis plants discovered at the Pukete address and around 80 plants found in the Tokoroa home.
"In addition a large television stolen in a burglary of a home on Hamilton's Peachgrove Rd two years ago was recovered along with $2000 cash at the Pukete home while a large scale electricity theft was revealed at the Tokoroa property."
Ms Grace said the 55-year-old occupier of the Tokoroa address was arrested along with the occupants of the Pukete home, her 25-year-old daughter and her 26-year-old male partner.
"The mother was in Hamilton visiting the younger couple at the time of the trio's arrest and all three will face drug cultivation charges.
"One of the real successes to come from this operation is the Police being able to act in a timely manner on information received from the public, in this case via Crimestoppers. Results such as this speaks volumes for Police maintaining a variety of channels which the public can engage with us from front counter interaction, facebook pages, emails and of course the independent Crimestoppers."

Appswell necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 42 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
Appswell is a mobile crowdsourcing platform. We power "American Idol" style contests where ideas about products and brands are submitted by passionate users, voted on, with the best ones rising to the top. Most of our interaction is through mobile apps, but our web presence is very important to us as well. We're adding our "For Business" section to our existing website.
Occasionally for internal deployment within enterprise, or external to customers.
Businesses and brands that want to leverage crowdsourcing to engage their most passionate fans, and are interested in branded mobile apps. Forward thinking companies passionate about innovating with, instead of for their people, with a strong desire to engage their people in meaningful ways.
We're launching our "For business" offering on http://www.appswell.com. It will have much of the same layout as the consumer page. We're looking for a central, standalone image on the website that will have the exact same place as the "woman with bubble" 591 × 261 image currently on Appswell.
We have a very particular image in mind, a photo that combines the head of a match with a lightbulb. Both of these images are very important to us, they represent ignition, momentum, inspiration, ideas, that a-ha moment, and the ability for companies to use our platform to kick start these a-ha moments.
We are not designers, and trust the creativity of our respondents to combine these two similarly shaped images, a matchhead inside a lightbulb frame, matchbook with a lightbulb top, etc, we're very open to see the direction people go with it. The current image has some background to it (the bubbles) we'd expect similar, non-prominent background that would make the image standout.
We need a larger redesign down the road, so hoping to make a good connection with an excellent designer as well.
We'd want JPG, PNG, and any related illustrator files, etc.

ARLINGTON, Va., July 22 (UPI) -- Boeing plans to acquire Solutions Made Simple Inc., an information services provider for the U.S. government and the intelligence community.
Known for its Twister data integration framework products, SMSi's technology allows users to easily extract, share and query information stored in an unlimited number of data sources and applications.
Once acquired, SMSi will operate within the Information Solutions division of Boeing's Network and Space Systems business.
"Our customers continuously look for better, more cost-effective ways to manage data across disparate networks, and SMSi has terrific capability to do that," said John Hinshaw, Boeing vice president and general manager of Information Solutions.
"We've worked with SMSi for a number of years and see their team and products as strong complements to our existing capabilities.
"SMSi adds important vertical content to Boeing's product portfolio for two high-growth markets that are key priorities for our customers: C4ISR and cybersecurity."
SMSi has headquarters in Reston, Va. It is privately held and the terms of the transaction weren't disclosed.
The transaction is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year.

Left unchecked, an excessive focus on risk reduction can threaten your clients' chances to enjoy sufficient long-term returns to meet their goals. Our recent article for AdvisorOne discussed how this problem may be inadvertently created by advisors who all too frequently spout volatility concerns that can push clients toward overly conservative models, ultimately hampering their future gains. On the flipside of this very real issue, however, it's important to recognize that a well-managed risk reduction campaign can be effective in limiting downside losses without giving up too much of a client's prospective upside.
One of the most effective examples of volatility management is cost-effective control of "tail risk"—otherwise known as unexpectedly large portfolio losses. While no single weapon on its own can combat tail risk, a multi-pronged approach that marries such elements as crisis planning, increasing asset diversification, allocation to low-beta equities and adoption of alternative asset classes can achieve this result. Most important, this fusion of techniques can accomplish what conventional tail-risk reducing strategies cannot do: namely, not curtail high long-term return potential.
Diversification Evolved: How to Dampen Concentraion Risk
Harkening back to the economic crisis of 2008, many investors were shaken when their traditional diversification across equities, fixed income and real estate failed to adequately protect them from getting burned. But this really isn't a surprise, given that equities tend to carry higher risk levels than fellow asset classes in the portfolio mix and that many investors use equities to make up the core of their portfolio. Even outperformance of alternatives doesn't guarantee shelter from overall loss when equities fail.
A better solution these days may be to dampen concentration risk by
trimming equity positions in favor of exposure to inflation-sensitive investments like commodities and credit instruments in corporate, mortgage and emerging markets. Of course, this concept by no means necessitates creating perfectly equal portions of each aforementioned asset class. But any movement in this direction is a step toward helping reduce overall tail risk.
Likewise, removing "emotional" reactions to market deterioration is a positive step. Constructing and adhering to predetermined, systematic risk management plans will prevent investors from unwisely clinging to positions as they watch their asset values plummet—only to panic and sell them off once values have hit rock bottom.
These same emotional investors tend to miss out on opportunities for gain as well, because they're slow to reintroduce assets during early signs of economic recovery. The only way to counter these typically human reactions is to install powerful risk-control mechanisms—be they run-of-the-mill stop losses or more complex drawdown control systems.
In the end, markets rarely exhibit normal distribution and investors are justified in focusing on tail risk, since large short-term losses can indeed prevent portfolios from meeting long-term return objectives. But myopic solutions to tail risk, such as traditional 60%/40% equity/fixed income models, or allocation plans that incorporate hedging alternatives but still overly favor equities, are seldom wise long-term moves. A fundamental approach involving broad diversification, volatility-based risk management and drawdown control reduces tail risk by enhancing a portfolio's overall risk-return characteristics.

Made to the exacting standards of Japanese professional chefs, Global's award-winning knives are an excellent choice for the discerning home cook. Earning top accolades from sushi chefs, this knife has a long, rigid single bevel blade that makes it easy to cut thin, uniform slices of raw fish for sushi or sashimi.
- Stamped blade is made of exceptionally hard Cromova 18 high-carbon stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to resist corrosion.

- Made in Japan.
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Avoid cutting on hard surfaces such as stone, metal or glass.
- It is not advisable to use any knife but a meat cleaver to cut through bone or frozen food, as the blade can be easily damaged.
- Hand-wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
- Sharpen your knife at home using a whetstone or knife sharpener, or have it sharpened by a professional.
- Store knife in a safe place to protect its edge and prevent injury.

At the top of the Search Results page there are a number of boxes you can use to help you search for salvage you are interested in purchasing. You can display only vehicles of a certain make or those from a Seller in a particular Region etc or you can type keywords such as 'Corsa' or 'Megane' to narrow down your search results.

Yes we operate a service called '
Notify Me
' that you can access from the '
My Account
' page once you are logged in. You can stipulate what type of salvage you want to be notified about and which locations you are prepared to travel to. The service uses Keywords in the same way as a search engine so you can tell it what you are looking for. If you want to be notified when a 'Citroen Picasso' is added to the auction you should enter the keyword 'Picasso', a single keyword will provide you with the best results.
How do I Bid on an Item I Wish to Purchase?
Salvage Market operates a Proxy Bidding Auction with the highest bidder winning the item providing the Auction Reserve has been met. Placing a proxy bid means that you are stating the amount that you are willing to pay up to for the item, and that if the single bid you place is outbid, that you want an automatic bid to be placed on your behalf up to the amount you have stated and in £10 increments.
For Example: A Lot you are interested in shows a 'Highest Bid' of £1200, you decide that you are willing to pay up to £1500 for the salvage lot. When you place your bid of £1500 the 'Highest Bid' may go up to £1260 this would tell you that the previous Highest Bidder had placed a Proxy Bid of £1250 for the Lot. The bids on all auctions increase in £10 increments so you might get a new bidder placing a bid of £1300 for this Lot but the auction would show your Highest Bid now as £1310 and you would still be winning the Lot. If nobody else bids for the Lot you will win it for £1310, the only way you will lose it is if a buyer bids £1510 or more which is above your maximum bid of £1500. You will be notified by email that you have been outbid and the auction page will be updated if this happens. You will then have the chance to increase your bid if you wish but you may only have seconds to place a new bid if the auction is due to expire.
If you win the auction, the price you pay will be the current highest bid and not the proxy bid limit you placed (unless you are bid up to that amount by another bidder). Please Note if the auction you bid on has a Reserve the Proxy Bid you place will automatically increase upto your limit or the Reserve price whichever is the smaller. For Example: You bid £1500 on a lot you are interested in that displays the 'Reserve Not Met' Icon even though there are no other bids the Highest Bid displayed may go from a starting bid of £100 straight to £1300 this would tell you that the reserve price was £1300. The Reserve Met Icon will be displayed and the only way you will lose this auction is if another buyer bids £1510 or more. Reserve prices are not available to view. If the Highest bid goes straight to £1500 and still displays the Reserve Not Met Icon you will need to bid a higher amount to win the auction as the Reserve must be higher than your Proxy Bid.
Salvage Market Operates an Auto-Extend Auction, What is This?
It is an auction that is extended beyond its provisional closing time by 15 seconds every time a new bid is placed. The Auto Extend only occurs when bids are placed in the final 60 seconds of an auction and will continue to auto-extend in 15 second windows until no further bids have been placed.
What is the '
My Watch List
' tool?
This is a useful tool you can use to monitor salvage lots you are interested in. Click on the checkbox next to the photograph labelled 'Watch This Auction', you then need to click the 'Update Watch List' button at the bottom of the page to add the salvage lot to your Watch List. You will need to '

About Readington Township
Over the past few years, Money magazine, CNN.com and NJ Monthly magazine have all singled out Readington Township as a desirable place to live. Driving around the back roads and winding byways that characterize the natural splendor of the area, it's easy to see why this township is such a great place to call home. Its location midway between New York City and Philadelphia—about 60 miles from either—makes it a close enough commute yet far enough away to enjoy a relaxed quality of life.
Located in eastern Hunterdon County, Readington Township is the county's largest municipality, measuring about 48 square miles. Created before pre-Revolutionary times, Readington was established by Royal Charter of King George II on July 15, 1730. When New Jersey's first 104 townships were named in 1798, Readington was among them. Today the township shares its borders with Raritan, Clinton and Tewksbury Townships in Hunterdon County and Branchburg in Somerset County.
Topographically speaking, Readington's abundance of protected farmland, rivers, streams and the Cushetunk Mountain range make it a naturally scenic place to live. The Lamington River, Rockaway Creek and South Branch of the Raritan River provide picturesque scenery throughout the township.
Since Readington is home to major corporations like Merck, Quick Chek and Chubb Corporation, property tax burdens are eased in comparison to other New Jersey municipalities.
Historic Readington
Readington Township is fortunate to have Stanton, Three Bridges, Centreville and Whitehouse within its borders; each is a historic village showcasing signs of Early American life in their simple churches, old-fashioned general stores or one-room schoolhouses. The village of Readington is equally historic and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places based on its collection of 18th century buildings which include a general store, antique residences, two schoolhouses, an inn and church.
Three Bridges was located on an early Indian trail known after a 1711 survey as The York Road, and later named The Old York Road. Daniel Sebring purchased land in Three Bridges in 1711 and by 1738 established a tavern here. In 1769 it became the first overnight stagecoach stop for travelers on The Old York Road due to its location halfway between New York and Philadelphia. A third bridge was added to the village in 1830, and the area was officially re-named Three Bridges in 1866.
Stanton is home to the Reformed Church and general store which were both built in the 1830s and remain today. Located at the base of Round Mountain, the community was settled by the Dutch in the 1600s. Stanton's earlier names included Housel, for Dutch settler Johannes Housel; Waggoner's Hill after land owner William Waggoner, and Mount Pleasant. In the early 1900s the community's name was changed once again to Stanton, this time to distinguish it from a different Mount Pleasant in New Jersey.
Centreville along Pleasant Run and Old York Road was also home to a tavern and coach stop for the Swift Sure Stage Line which provided service between New York and Philadelphia in the mid-1700s. In its heyday, Centreville was a busy place with a blacksmith shop, church, post office, school and general store, although today it is a residential community. It is alternately spelled Centerville.
Whitehouse was settled by Abraham Van Horn in 1722 who saw potential for his grist and sawmills along the Rockaway Creek. In around 1750 he constructed a tavern with white plaster walls, which travelers began to call the White House. Stones from that original building can be seen in the DAR cemetery's retaining wall, which is where the tavern used to stand. Nearby Whitehouse Station also borrowed its name from the tavern, but it wasn't established until the railroad came to town in the mid-1800s.

Community Life
The Readington Township Recreation Department maintains an active calendar of events for adults and children. Sports leagues and lessons, art classes, day trips and more are on the changing list based on the season. The Recreation Department also sponsors the community's annual Memorial Day parade to kick off the summer. Local fire trucks, school groups, veterans, scout troops, classic cars and sports teams are on hand to mark this all-American parade. The celebration continues with a flag raising at the Municipal Building followed by a Community Day at Pickell Park.
Twenty-eight percent of all the land in Readington Township has been preserved as open space for future generations, allowing residents to take advantage of the protected acreage. The township has saved 70 farms totaling 4,748 acres and conserved 3,678 acres of open space, with recreational options that include hiking trails and nature trails winding through woodlands. Maintaining the rural nature of Readington is important to this municipality, which has several pending applications being considered for addition to the list of protected farmland.
Public school students attend one of three elementary schools in Readington. Three Bridges School and Whitehouse School are for kindergarten to grade three, while Holland Brook School houses grades four and five. The Readington Middle School enrolls students in the middle grades of six to eight.
A regional high school for students from Readington also serves students from Delaware Township, East Amwell, Raritan Township and Flemington Borough. Hunterdon Central Regional High School on Route 31 in Flemington is a 72-acre campus enrolling about 3,100 students. The high school has four academic buildings, music and communication buildings, a field house with seating for 2,000, and a media center.
Named a Blue Ribbon School by the United States Department of Education in 2002, Hunterdon Central Regional High School also achieved that award in 1997, a distinction that is unique in all of New Jersey. With a curriculum designed to promote academic excellence, 89% of graduates in 2011 planned to further their education at a four-year or community college.
Local and interstate highways in Readington Township include Routes 22, 31, 78 and 202. Whitehouse Station is a popular starting point for rail commuters headed toward Manhattan. There is NJ Transit train service for passengers who work in New York City, Newark or Hoboken. Riders can also connect to the PATH train for service to lower Manhattan from Newark or Hoboken. The trip takes up to 90 minutes depending on the time of day and destination.
Nearby Clinton has a Park and Ride stop on Route 31 for Trans Bridge bus service to Port Authority in midtown Manhattan. Those working in Philadelphia can catch a train or bus from the Trenton Transit Center, about 40 miles south of Readington.
Readington Real Estate
With a rich heritage dating back to the 1700s, Readington Township has a remarkable collection of beautifully-restored antique homes, from stately Victorians and Greek Revivals to charming farmhouses and old stone dwellings. In more recent years there have been new developments of luxurious single-family neighborhoods as well as town house and condominium complexes. Custom-built homes, horse farms, center hall Colonials, Contemporary style residences and mid-century homes also characterize the architectural styles available in Readington's real estate market.Back to top
Local Attractions
Solberg Airport is home to the Quick Chek Festival of Ballooning, an annual event that takes place in July. Not to be missed is the ascent of scores of vividly-colored hot air balloons as they take to the sky. The weekend-long celebration also features live music, food and children's activities. It is hailed as the largest hot air balloon festival in North America.
Readington Library is located in the heart of Whitehouse Station at 255 Main Street. Situated in a former railroad station, the circa 1892 Richardson-Romanesque architecture was designed by a Bradford Gilbert, a celebrated Philadelphia architect. Restored by community members in1981, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Don't forget to visit the Ladies Waiting Room.
Cole Road Greenway Trails are a new addition to Readington's already extensive network of trails. This four-mile system can be accessed at trail heads on Cole Road and Pine Bark Road. Local groups including the Readington Trail Association and Boy Scout troops dedicated hundreds of volunteer hours to complete the trails. It is mostly level, making it perfect for walking, horseback riding or cross country skiing.
Rockaway Preserve in East Whitehouse provides a panoramic view of the Rockaway Creek from a bluff-top location. The preserve encompasses 113 acres of preserved open space and includes hiking trails through the woods.

Principal investigator, Dr Johanna Montgomery, says the findings are highly significant: "We're moving beyond simply what happens in ASDs and starting to understand how it happens."
The behavioural manifestations of ASDs are well documented and include impaired communication and socialisation, learning difficulties, and repetitive or stereotyped behaviours. These behavioural characteristics are in turn associated with a wide range of gene mutations. Many of these mutated genes are responsible for the production of specific proteins in the neurons of the brain.
Dr Montgomery and her team took a close look at parts of these neurons – the synapses, which are the structures that enable brain cells to communicate with each other. This cell to cell communication is vital for a healthy brain, and underlies how we learn, remember, move and sense.
In a complex cascade of chemical and electrical signalling, information is transmitted from one neuron to another at the synapses. This process is mediated by several families of protein, some of which form the bedrock of the synapse on the 'listening' side. Dr Montgomery's team chose to investigate one of these proteins, known as Shank3, because it has been identified as vital to the communication process between two neurons, and because it is known to be mutated in ASDs.
Usually, the more two neurons "talk" to one another, the larger and more efficient the synapse becomes – in the same way that exercising your muscles helps make them bigger and stronger. However, Dr Montgomery and her team found that in neurons carrying ASD mutations in the Shank3 protein, not only was cell to cell communication weaker than usual, but that repetition did not strengthen or stabilise the synaptic connection.
Further investigation revealed that Shank3, when healthy, forms complexes with two other types of protein known as neurexin and neuroligin (also frequently mutated in ASDs). These complexes act to physically bridge the synaptic gap and can transmit information from the receiving or "listening" side of the synapse to the transmitting side. This "backward" flow of information completes a feedback loop between the two neurons which is likely to be responsible for the strengthening of the connection.
Dr Montgomery and her team theorise that the Shank3/neurexin/neuroligin complex is critical to the ability of neurons to effectively transfer information across the synapse so as to ensure the correct messages get through at the appropriate strength. This complex of proteins helps both sides of the synapse to co-ordinate to improve the efficacy of messaging, and this in turn increases the likelihood of successful transmission in future. Therefore, ASD mutations are preventing this efficient transfer of information between neurons, which likely underlies the behavioural and cognitive changes that occur in people with ASDs.
Intriguingly, the opposite occurs when neurons express multiple copies of the Shank3 gene, as is known to occur in Aspergers Syndrome. In this case the communication between neurons gets much stronger, increasing their efficacy and providing a possible mechanism for the enhanced cognitive function that is associated with this syndrome.
"This is really exciting stuff", says Dr Montgomery. "Now we have identified the problems that these mutated proteins cause, we have a focus for developing treatments to offset the synaptic deficits that result. That's the next step."
Autism NZ Chief Executive Alison Molloy says, "It is great that this research is happening in New Zealand. For those on the autism spectrum, and their families, it means we can look forward to a time when the characteristics of Autism can be managed, making living and communicating considerably less stressful for them."
This research programme is funded by grants from the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand and the Auckland Medical Research Foundation.

Denison outlines the role of faith in culture
PLAINVIEW – Dr. Jim Denison, founder of The Denison Forum on Truth and Culture, spoke
at Wayland Baptist University on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of Wayland's annual
Willson Lecture Series.
Denison broke his lectures into two parts, using Tuesday to diagnose the problem with today's culture and society, then addressing the issue of change during Wednesday's speaking engagements.
Denison opened Tuesday's lecture by telling a story of how he accidentally locked himself in the bell tower of Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas. He was pastor at the time, and was looking at a storage area on the fifth floor with the thought of turning it into a private office where he could retreat to spend time alone. While locked in the space, Denison said the time served as a parable for what many believe the church to be – a sanctuary from outside influence. He could look out on the busy street below and watch the world go by, all from the safety of his insulated vantage point.
"There is a sense of security that is quite appealing," Denison said.
Yet in that context of being insulated from the world outside, Denison asked if the church is truly being the salt and light of the world as it is called to be.
He said our society and culture is witnessing a time of increased aggression toward Christianity. While the spread of Christianity is booming in other cultures, it has come to a near standstill in the United States. Denison said there are many reasons for this, the main cause, however, is what he calls a "spiritual schizophrenia" in which today's Christians have embraced Christianity as a "transactional religion." This, he explained, was a religion in which people behave a certain way in order to receive blessings from God.
Denison compared the culture to that of the ancient Roman Empire. In everything from architectural similarities to similarities in religion, society and military might, Denison pointed out how much the United States resembles the once-powerful Empire that came crashing down.
"We find ourselves at a crossroads between a transactional religion and a modern/postmodern relativism," he said, pointing out that in our postmodern world 92 percent of people say they are the sole determiners of moral truth in their lives.
On Wednesday in chapel, Denison pointed to the rapid growth of Christianity in other countries, and then asked the question, "How can we join what is happening around the world?"
"In our culture," he said. "God is a hobby."
Denison said the answer to the question is four-fold. First, he said society must humble itself before God.
"You must admit that you need more God than you have," he said, explaining this is the only way to truly rely on God.
Prayer is the second key. Specifically, Denison said people must pray for a great movement of God. The third aspect of his answer is to truly seek God's face. He said the Hebrew word for "seek" is literally translated as "run hard after." He said people must seek the face of God by praying and staying connected.
The fourth thing is for society, including Christians, to turn from their wicked ways.
"Today is the day to say, 'I am making God my King,'" he said.

Obama seeks Islam 'common ground'
CAIRO – In remarks being translated live for broadcasts and Webcasts in every major language, President Barack Obama said Thursday that the United States wants "common ground" and "a new beginning" with the Muslim world, where America's image plummeted with the Bush administration's response to the 9/11 attacks.
"Much has been made of the fact that an African-American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President. But my personal story is not so unique," he said in the Grand Hall of Cairo University. "The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores."
Story Continued Below
The 55-minute speech was remarkable and historic not so much for the delivery or even the words, but for the context, the orator, the moment. Obama included blunt talk about the United States, Israel, Iraq, his predecessor and al Qaeda.
"I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11," he said, speaking before a red curtain and six pairs of U.S. and Egyptian flags. "But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day."
The president, who left the room to applause from an audience carefully chosen to reflect diverse perspectives, invoked the "Holy Koran" twice, and the "Holy Bible" once.
"It's easier to start wars than to end them" he said. "It's easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is one rule that lies at the heart of every religion – that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. [Applause] This truth transcends nations and peoples."
Obama got a standing early ovation when he declared: "I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.

But some audience members gasped when he followed that with: "That same principle must apply to Muslim perceptions of America. Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire."
The speech – delivered in Egypt, where the political opposition can be jailed, beaten or outlawed — is a major test of Obama's ability to translate his appealing rhetoric into real change at what he acknowledged is "a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world."
But conservative former U.S. Ambassador to United Nations John Bolton said he considered that one of several "flawed premises" upon which the speech was built, noting America's longstanding alliance with Saudi Arabia as sign that it's not all tension between the U.S. and Arab allies.
"This is another Obama blame America first moment," Bolton said.
Bolton also criticized Obama for what he called "a very hard line against Israeli settlements."
"When you criticize your strongest ally in an environment like that, it is intended to send a message to that ally," he said.
Liz Cheney, a former State Department official and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said it was a "well-delivered speech" and that Obama's personal story "sends a message about America being a land of opportunity."

Early Morning Farms
Early Morning Farms is a family owned business that grows and distributes seasonal products - squash blossoms and chipilin bunches for the specialty markets of Southern California. The locally grown produce is farmed on a ranch in Perris, California. Every morning, with the first call of the rooster, our farmers begin to harvest the delicate bee-pollinated blossoms and bushy herbaceous leaves and prepare them for careful and speedy delivery to the wholesale and retail markets to ensure their freshness.
Squash blossoms are edible raw or they can be incorporated into a variety of recipes including as ingredients in quesadillas, empanadas and other dishes in traditional Latin cuisine. Now-a-days squash blossoms are being used in new and innovative ways across cultures and eating palettes. The flowers contain beta-carotene.
Chipilín leaves are a common leafy vegetable used in Latin American cuisine where they are boiled and served green, dried and used as an herb, or added to tamale dough for color and flavor. The leaves are high in iron, calcium, and beta-carotene.
The produce from Early Morning Farms is not just for Latin Americans who are missing a piece of home, but it is also for everyday families that would like to try something new, healthy, and local. We grow crops that serve both the traditional Latin American markets as well as the emerging untraditional markets for local produce (i.e. farmer's markets, Whole Foods, etc.).
The product is currently sold in the wholesale market and then resold in retail stores.
The logo should attempt to depict that:
• Produce from the farm is locally grown, fresh and of the highest quality - colors, fonts and imagery should attempt to depict these product attributes.
• Possible, but not required, inclusion of bees (e.g. pollination), roosters (e.g. early morning), and/or squash blossoms and chipilin leaves as visual icons. It should be noted that we produce more than squash blossoms and chipilin leaves, so logo consideration should be not overemphasize these products, but instead focus on the farm as much as possible.
• Possible inclusion of Spanish language in the logo as the name of the business "Temprano en la Manana Finca" or as a tagline "Tempranito en la manana, de nuestros campos a tu mesa!"
• The logo needs to be in a format that is suitable for use on product labels, packaging boxes, letterhead, invoices, business cards, website, e-mail signatures, and other promotional materials.

As many of you will have noticed, there is a new challenge blog run by the clever ladies of the Three Muses.
Every week they will give us a challenge to create something with a word prompt. This week is it is "Time"
Time is something I never seem to have enough of (like many people I'm guessing). I decided to create a tribute to the Goddess of Time, asking her to grant me more. The piece did not work out at all how I had wanted it, but at least I had fun painting...

A little over six months ago, Shirley Bloethe was hit with yet another devastating incident in her life. She had already lost a nephew and her father, and then on Sept. 26 she discovered the café, Pass-It-On, and book store building she had owned for 22 years was destroyed from a fire. After going through a depressed state for a few months, and spending about one month in California with her mother, Bloethe, owner of Jitters Cafe in Southington, said she realized she needs to continue moving forward with her life and her work, and decided that she is ready for whatever comes her way in the future.
Until the fire last year, Jitters Café, also known as The Sunflower Bungalow, was a space that provided music, food, culture, spa treatments, and much more. Bloethe said she wanted to continue doing what she did at her store, and has decided to take her business mobile and is starting out with a Holistic Fair to be held in May.
"This is kind of like a test fair to see how things go," Bloethe said, adding that she has a goal of what she wants to do, but it hasn't fully come together yet. "I'm just letting things unfold right now."
Bloethe has been running her Qivana company out of her home while she works on how to do what she did at the Sunflower Bungalow— without the actual building. This upcoming Holistic Fair will be held on May 11 at RockWell's Dance Hall to benefit the Plainville Community Food Pantry. There will be dozens of vendors from all sectors, like readers, massages, rocks and minerals, organic tea, crafters, jewelers, drumming, healers, tarot, wellness products, tai chi, yoga, hypnosis, astrology, and more.
Bloethe said she hopes to continue to organize these kinds of fairs and be a vehicle to other ways of life for individuals to explore.
"I knew the day the fire happened that things were going to be really different," Bloethe said, adding that she felt it was a sign that this was her time to move on to something different. "It was something that was pushing me in another direction."
Bloethe said in addition to holistic fairs and workshops and connecting people with other lifestyle outlets, she has another project in mind. Since she owns the property that the Sunflower Bungalow still sits on, she wants to construct a building that would be entirely energy efficient and self-sufficient. The building would be three floors, and would be mixed use including retail, office space, and residential. It would be solar-powered, and "something I really want to be sustainable and very efficient," she said.
In the last six months, Bloethe said she has learned that "you have to be open to whatever comes your way." She said she knows something else will come out of her next ventures, and said "you have to have that little spark in you; if it's still there you know you can still do something."
The holistic fair is going to be full of vendors and workshops that are focused around things near and dear to Bloethe, and areas of expertise she would welcome and offer to her customers at the Sunflower Bungalow.
The fair will be held on Saturday, May 11, from noon to 4 p.m. at RockWell's Dance Hall, 161 Woodford Ave. The fair is open to the public, and the only entry fee is a requested donation, either monetary or a type of item that can be donated to the food pantry. She said she has worked with the Plainville Community Food Pantry for many years, and wanted to continue to support the organization even though she is no longer a business owner nearby. There will be tables set up for the vendors, and guests can sign up for reading appointments. The food pantry is in need of toiletry items and paper goods, and guests can also donate other non-perishable items. There will also be a free raffle where the vendors will be giving away services. Susie Woerz, director of the Plainville Community Food Pantry, will also be speaking at 3 p.m.
Other vendors include vendors include: a bookstore with $2 CDs and new books, Poor Me Tea samples, Shayna B and the Pickle Gluten Free bakery, and more. The event will also have local farmers and organic foods, beverages, and demonstrations and other complimentary services, health evaluations, demonstrations, wellness product demonstrations, Reiki, and more.
For more information call Shirley Bloethe at (860)989-0033. If things go well, she said, she will continue to do fairs in the like. For continued updates on what Bloethe is doing visit her website at www.jittersclub.com.

Post subject: Server Submissions updating?
I looked as I could but couldnt find anything on this.
I'm trying to help fight the fight against the Zero.. so am running what I can based on the Server Sub page. But realms I know I have submitted a couple days ago dont seem to be killing the zeros.
Any reasons why this might be happening? I read about some pages might need 8 hrs or slightly longer to change, but I ran them ohh 3 days ago now. And yes, they seem to have been processed on my side.
I'm running against the USA stuff, both Alliance & Horde side (much as horde is distasteful to me LOL)
Hope someone can direct me, in the meantime gonna go activate a couple old accts so I can hit more realms. Thanks

Hello and welcome!
Unfortunately, as others including myself have already noticed, some of the site's pages are not working correctly for the time being. Hopefully Metalbeast will be able to tackle these problems in the near future. In the meanwhile, please continue helping, the data you upload still updates individual characters and guilds, even though we are running a bit "blind" for now as far as seeing which realms really have low amounts of entries.

grrr, stupid system.
Okay, 2nd try.
Thanks for the welcome 1974er.
And while I was hoping that was not the reason I had sort of figured it was. No sweat though, I'm gonna keep plugging away.
If I get another upload tonite I'll have maybe 6000 updated & hopefully 3000 new.
Not too bad I figured with 1 acct, this being my 2nd day doing it & about 6 servers, & only 3 of those servers are both All & Horde.
Well, back to plugging both Census & farming mats.

*chuckles* You have already exceeded 3000 & 6000 by a lot.
4151 & 10076 for now. A few more days like these and you will most likely be in top 10s at the end of the month, maybe even fairly high up.

Nice to see some new eager blood
But beware you don't census too much and forget it's a game you play.. There is a risk, that too much vensus burns you out for both things..
Find the level of census, that fits YOU best and stick with it
Doing census mainly on Draenor; Raluf - Nimsay - Lusmo - Quixx - Sosyan - Garthog - Trubin - Zalistra - Zesmi and Djaang

Thanks Fuxie,
I understand that, a lot of times I just let it run in the background while I diddle with my characters, doing their farming or trading or whatever. This week its messing with the Darkmoon.
Once thats over, I'll pick maybe 1 or 2 days/nites where I just working on grabbing realms to try & knock some of them supposed zeros out.
Whats funny is, that most of those numbers just came in 2 days, & since I didnt delete those chars I can go back & snatch the numbers again easier.
And I started a trial acct so I can use it to grab numbers elsewhere too while I farm & whatnot so its all good.
Laters, off to the darkmoon.

Our indoor swim area includes a whirlpool, along with a certified lifeguard at all times.
Pool Rules
Lap Swimming Etiquette
While lap swimming is available, there are times when lap lanes are limited due to other programs. Please familiarize yourself with the pool schedule. Lap lanes are first-come-first-serve. However, during peak usage it will become necessary for you to share your lane with another swimmer(s). When approaching to share a lane, please ask the person who is already occupying the lane. When sharing a lane, each person may choose a side of the lane or circle swim. Please remember to stay to your side of the lane including your legs and arms.
Circle Swim Courtesy
When looking to join a lane for circle swimming, look at the speed of the other swimmers and select a lane that is appropriate for you. Then notify the swimmer(s) in that lane that you would like to join them. Keep to the right at all times. Swimming within a lane is by agreement of the majority. Swimmers should arrange themselves in speed order, fastest to slowest. Always be aware of what is going on in your lane. If a swimmer behind you looks as though he/she may overtake you on the next lap, stop and wait in the corner for the swimmer to pass Push off underwater to avoid making waves for oncoming swimmers.

The Earth Institute brings together the people and tools needed to address some of the world's most difficult problems, from climate change and environmental degradation, to poverty, disease and the sustainable use of resources.
Much of humankind is vulnerable to natural disasters, extreme poverty, infectious disease and a host of other challenges. One in six people on the planet subsists on less than $1 a day. The world's population is expected to increase to nine billion by 2050. Human activity is straining the planet's resources, threatening the health of our environment and ability to thrive.
By blending scientific research, education and practical solutions, The Earth Institute, Columbia University, is working to help guide the world onto a path toward sustainability.
The Institute, under the direction of Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, comprises more than 30 research centers and some 850 scientists, postdoctoral fellows, staff and students. Working across many disciplines, we study and create solutions for problems in public health, poverty, energy, ecosystems, climate, natural hazards and urbanization.
At our largest research unit, the renowned Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, some of the world's leading scientists study geology, oceans, freshwater systems, climate and atmosphere. Our scientists map the ocean floor and measure the movements of ice sheets; they bore into ancient trees and pull cores of mud from the sea bottom to uncover secrets of past climate; they chart the flow of ocean and the swirl of atmosphere around the planet. Millimeter by millimeter, they measure the movements of the earth's crust as it thrusts up from far below or dives down into subduction zones. This fundamental knowledge about the dynamics of the earth is key to addressing our biggest challenges.
Earth Institute experts work hand-in-hand with academia, corporations, government agencies, nonprofits and individuals. They advise national governments and the United Nations on issues related to sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals. They are educating the next generation of leaders in basic sciences and sustainable development.
We focus on the protection of earth's environment and the spread of social and economic opportunities for all people. We believe that dealing with issues such as extreme poverty must involve tackling issues such as environmental degradation, and lack of access to health care and education. Our work reflects the fundamental belief that the world possesses the tools needed to effectively mitigate climate change, poverty and other critical issues.

Catalent Announces Cell Line Sales Agreement with CEVEC
Deal follows study which achieved record yield for human alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT) molecule
Somerset, NJ, November 13, 2012
– Catalent Pharma Solutions today announced that it had reached a commercial cell line sales agreement with CEVEC Pharmaceuticals for recombinant human alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT). The companies have also signed a joint development and marketing agreement that combines CEVEC's CAP® cell line, a high performance protein expression platform originally derived from primary human amniocytes and Catalent's GPEx® technology, a powerful gene-insertion method providing single-copy gene integration at multiple genomic locations in dividing cells. This agreement will allow the co-promotion of the combined technologies to biotechnology companies needing cell line development and manufacturing of various proteins.
The announcements follow a successful five month study which achieved a new milestone in the field of complex protein production, having demonstrated a record yield for a non-antibody protein produced in a human expression system.
Leading global drug development and delivery solution provider Catalent, and CEVEC, the developer of a novel, market-leading human protein expression system derived from amniocytes, achieved a manufacturing yield of over 3 grams per liter for a secreted, highly glycosylated non-antibody protein, using the challenging hAAT molecule which harbors 3N-glycosylation sites, through a combination of two highly innovative proprietary technologies. The program began with the development of a GPEx based stable pool in CAP cells at Catalent, followed by initial process development at CEVEC.
"Enabling biotech companies to get clone candidates to clinic more quickly and efficiently is at the core of Catalent's biologics business philosophy," commented Kent Payne, Vice President and General Manager, of Catalent's Biologics business. "Having developed the hAAT molecule using our combined technologies, we have now reached a commercial agreement with CEVEC on the cell line and look forward to further drawing on this combination in the development of additional recombinant proteins and antibodies."
"We are very excited to have proven the potential for generating high expressing human cell lines in a much shorter timeframe than traditional methods," added Wolfgang Kintzel, CEO of CEVEC. "As the yield of 3 g/L was achieved already at the stable pool stage, a further increase in productivity is expected by the ongoing generation of the clonal cell line. The high yield attained for a difficult to express and therapeutically relevant protein, such as hAAT, represents an enabling milestone for large scale manufacturing of complex proteins in human cells."

HAMPTON — As waves crashed along the Seacoast Monday, those looking to catch a glimpse of Hurricane Sandy were also cautioned about flooded roadways, high winds and dangerous conditions as officials urged people not to venture out into the storm.
Signs along Interstate Route 95 alerted drivers to be off the road by 3 p.m. Monday as that was the time officials expected the brunt of Sandy to strike the region.
Beaches and state parks along Route 1 from Rye to the Massachusetts border closed midday for the approaching storm.
Areas along Ocean Boulevard and in North Hampton have historically become impassable, according to North Hampton police, making travel dangerous as the storm surge continues to rise. People were discouraged from driving, standing or walking along the coastline there, activities that were still in full swing by early Monday evening.
Beaches in Rye were closing by noon Monday, according to a tweet sent by Rye police, who announced the beaches would remain closed for an undetermined amount of time.
The Salvation Army based out of Portland, Maine, issued a press release on Monday alerting residents of states expected to be affected by Hurricane Sandy of resources made available by the organization.
"We're taking Hurricane Sandy very seriously and are ready to move personnel to areas where they are most needed," Major James LaBossiere, divisional commander, stated in the release.
Food, drinks, emergency and spiritual care will be provided to emergency responders and residents should the storm cause severe damage and power outages in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont.
Martin Murray of Public Service of New Hampshire, said crews were on scene across the Seacoast to provide assistance to emergency personnel with downed wires and other obstructions, and would begin working on the outages as soon as it became safe to do so.
"We're expecting there will not be a lot of restoration at the height of the storm," he said, stating that it simply wasn't safe at the time for PSNH employees to be conducting that work.
But, he said, today would likely provide an opportunity for crews to being working on restoration efforts and that PSNH was "very well prepared" with necessary resources.
"It looks like we'll be able to tackle (outages) on Tuesday or whenever the conditions allow us to," Murray said.
Many Seacoast beaches and roads closed as high surf pounds the coast
